Paris is a city of fountains and hidden springs, of deep wells beneath cathedrals and mirrored waters in forgotten gardens. She is also, quietly, a city of Marys.
This new three-hour guided walk is one of the most intimate and elemental offerings I have ever created. It was born of silence and sculpture, born from tears gathered in church pews and from fountains that sing in stone. It is not a tour in the traditional sense, but a ritual in motion, a sacred path shaped by water and remembrance.
Over the course of one morning or afternoon, we will visit five sacred sites in Paris where the feminine flows, where Mary Magdalene is remembered, and where the waters speak if you are willing to listen. At each stop, guests gather drops into a small glass jar. These become an altar of five waters—one for grief, one for offering, one for descent, one for the mystery, and one for sovereignty.
We begin at the church of La Madeleine and end at the Medici Fountain in the Jardin du Luxembourg. Along the way we walk slowly, and witness deeply. There is time for silence. There is time for stillness. There is time to walk as Magdalene once walked: with devotion, with depth, with beauty, with trust.
This experience is available for private booking only, and offered at select times throughout the season. All materials are provided, including your altar jars and a traveling altar pochette. For those who long to experience Paris as sacred, to reclaim pilgrimage as a living act, or to walk with Mary Magdalene in a quiet and embodied way, this is for you.

With love from the fountains and the spiral,
