A gospel, as ancient and authentic as any of the gospels that the Christian bible contains, was buried deep in the Egyptian desert after an edict was sent out in the 4th century to have all copies of it destroyed. Fortunately, some rebel monks were wise enough to refuse—and thanks to their disobedience and spiritual bravery, we have several manuscripts of the only gospel that was written in the name of a woman: The Gospel of Mary Magdalene.
Mary's gospel reveals a radical love that sits at the heart of the Christian story. Her gospel says that we are not sinful; we are not to feel ashamed or unworthy for being human. In fact, our purpose is to be fully human, to be a "true human being"—that is, a person who has remembered that, yes, we are a messy, limited ego, and we are also a limitless soul.
And all we need to do is to turn inward (again and again); to meditate, like Mary Magdalene, in the way her gospel directs us, so that we can see past the ego of our own little lives to what's more real, and lasting, and infinite, and already here, within.
With searing clarity, Watterson explains how and why Mary Magdalene came to be portrayed as the penitent prostitute and relates a more historically and theologically accurate depiction of who Mary was within the early Christ movement. And she shares how this discovery of Mary's gospel has allowed her to practice, and to experience, a love that never ends, a love that transforms everything.

Ariana's mission is to be a catalyst for shifting the paradigms and beliefs that keep people from living the life of their dreams – especially during the last season of their life.
Throughout her life Ariana has been totally open to new experiences and has rolled with the punches by reinventing herself. From librarian to computer systems analyst and programmer, to marketing rep, to healer and singer of soul songs, Ariana is no stranger to transformation and change. After the death of her husband, the loss of her savings and home she rolled with the punches and set out on a 100 day pilgrimage journey including walking the 800 km Camino de Santiago. Following that pilgrimage, Ariana found herself challenged to the core as she was guided to shift from predominantly left brain careers to mentoring and leading spiritual pilgrimages. She is passionate about the value of exploring sacred feminine principals and envisions a world where men and women live in harmony in a partnership model, each respecting the unique gifts and talents of the other.
At 72 she continues to reinvent her life and is committed to inspiring others to do the same.
Ariana offers mentoring programs and spiritual pilgrimage journeys to those who want to live a more fulfilling life and discover a deeper connection to spirit and themselves. Her intuitive wisdom and ability to recognize the patterns and behaviours that are limiting the journeys of her clients is a core part of her success in helping them step into a more authentic and powerful life.
Ariana has led multiple Camino de Santiago pilgrimages and four Mary Magdalene pilgrimages in France. Her next Mary Magdalene Pilgrimage is scheduled for September 2024.
