About this listen

The Magdalene Rising Collective invites you to explore the transformative wisdom of the Bible’s Marys like never before. Through thought-provoking conversations, we aim to uncover the alternative spirit and narratives of Mary Magdalene, Mother Mary, and their connection to the Divine Feminine.

This podcast is more than a study of religious texts—it’s a celebration of the profound influence these Marys have had on theology, spirituality, art, and personal transformation. Together, we’ll dive into stories that expand beyond traditional teachings, shedding light on the roles of these women as visionaries, leaders, and symbols of feminine power.

The Magdalene Rising Collective is a devoted group of four women from Canada and the US, united by a shared passion for spiritual growth, women’s empowerment, and the profound teachings of the Magdalenes.

To us, Magdalene is not just a name—it’s a sacred title and a lineage of divine feminine wisdom. Rooted in the Hebrew word migdal, meaning “tower” or “watchtower,” Magdalene represents strength, vision, and the sacred responsibility to hold space for transformation.

It is a path of empowerment, healing, and alignment with the divine, calling women to reclaim their voice, honor their truth, and embody their sacred connection.

At Magdalene Rising Collective, we believe that every woman carries the essence of Magdalene within her. This essence calls her to rise into her fullest potential, to walk the path of self-awareness, and to embody her divine feminine wisdom. Together, as a collective, we honor this sacred title, co-creating lives of authenticity, empowerment, and purpose.

We invite every woman to walk this path of the Magdalene in her own unique way—to reclaim her inner tower of strength, align with her truth, and embody her sacred wholeness.

  • The Magdalene Riff Series - Mary Magdalene and the Resurrection: Was It About Awakening, Not a Body?
    Apr 5 2026

    What if the resurrection wasn't only about a body rising

    from the dead — but about a consciousness waking up?


    In this first episode of Something About Marys, co-founders

    Sandi, Carrie, and Linda gather in circle to explore the

    resurrection story through a lens you've probably never

    heard from a pulpit. We pull the threads on Mary

    Magdalene as the first witness, the silencing of women's

    voices in the original accounts, and what resurrection

    might actually mean as a living process happening within

    us right now.


    This is not a lecture. It's a living conversation — the

    kind that happens when women who've spent years studying

    these teachings come together and actually think out loud

    together.


    In this episode we explore:

    - Why Mary Magdalene didn't recognize Jesus at the tomb and what that moment really reveals

    - The four resurrection accounts and why they contradict each other in one striking way

    - How the Gospel of Mary describes the soul rising past the seven powers — and why that maps to awakening, not just theology

    - Why women were the first witnesses and were still doubted — and how that pattern is finally breaking

    - The feminine resurrection happening right now and why so many women are receiving the same downloads at the same time


    ✨ Circle Questions from this episode:

    1. If resurrection represents transformation, have you ever experienced a moment where something in your life had to "die" so something truer could emerge?

    2. Mary Magdalene is the first to recognize the risen Christ. What might that say about intuition, perception, and the feminine voice?

  • The Way of the Rose - from Buddhist Monk to Reclaiming the Rosary and The Divine Feminine- Clark Strand Talks About the Call to Our Lady
    Feb 1 2025

    🌹 Episode Four: Reclaiming the Rosary & The Divine Feminine with Clark Strand

    The Magdalene Rising Collective is thrilled to bring you the fourth episode of Something About Marys, where we continue our conversation with the incredible Clark Strand. In this episode, we dive deeper into the hidden history of the Rosary, its folk origins as a feminine spiritual practice, and how reconnecting with it can empower women and reclaim the Divine Feminine.

    Clark shares his powerful insights from The Way of the Rose, a book that has inspired thousands to rediscover Our Lady, prayer, and the sacred cycles of the Earth.

    In this episode, we explore:
    🔹 The Rosary’s original role as a women’s folk practice
    🔹 How it was later co-opted by patriarchal religion
    🔹 The mystical power of chanting, frequency, and prayer
    🔹 The hidden feminine wisdom still preserved within the Rosary

    🌿 Clark’s work is a call to reclaim our spiritual inheritance—not as an institution’s tool, but as a deeply personal, mystical, and Earth-honoring practice.

This series continues to be a heartfelt dive into the lives of those inspired by Mary Magdalene, Mother Mary, and the profound wisdom of the Divine Feminine.

    This podcast is an extension of our sacred work through The Magdalene Rising Collective, the Magdalene Rising Summit, and the powerful visions and visits from a Mary that have profoundly shaped our lives.
