Mary’s Ministry is a Christ-centered ministry of love in action, born from the heart of The Soul Institute and rooted in the sacred path of divine feminine leadership. It honors the lineage of The Marys—Mother Mary and Mary Magdalene—as gateways to unity, healing, and the living presence of Christ.

This ministry welcomes seekers, saints, and sovereigns of all paths into remembrance—of their divine birthright, their soul’s purpose, and their holy capacity to love, lead, and live from the frequency of Christed presence.

Whether through passages of baptism, sacred marriage, conscious dying rites, soul healing, purpose-driven mentorship, anointing, or humanitarian outreach, Mary’s Ministry offers multidimensional, soul-based transformation for every phase of life. We hold sacred circles, grief rituals, energy healing, prayer immersions, and spiritual mentorship both virtually and in-person through monthly offerings, retreats, and public events.

At a time when the world aches for reverence and return, Mary’s Ministry is a new form of spiritual leadership—a ministry where roses bloom, sacred oils pour, the Holy Spirit breathes, and reverence becomes reality. Rooted in Christ Consciousness, it honors the left-hand path of the Divine Feminine and the right-hand path of the risen Christ—calling all into sacred union.

This is a unity ministry: open to all, exclusive of none, yet anchored in the frequency of the feminine rebirth—a reclamation of what has long been forgotten.

Founded by Adora, healer, myrrhophore, and soul alchemist of over 30 years, this ministry is the embodied, public expression of her lifelong relationship with Mary, Jesus, the angelic realms, and the natural world. From visions in childhood to global retreats and healing rituals, she has walked the path of sacred service and now transmits it through this ministry.

To co-create the next spiritual renaissance by guiding individuals into their soul’s divine design, empowering sacred leaders, and restoring reverence for the feminine and for all that is holy.

We believe:

Love is the highest frequency of transformation.

Ministry is not a title but a presence.

The feminine is not rising against anything—it is rising to restore everything.

You are not broken. You are becoming.

Through the anointing of Christed love, we return home to the sacred.

The Divine Feminine is rising. It is ascending through the collective consciousness of the planet and through you from your soul to your cells. We all have aspects of inner feminine and masculine that desire to return to unity, empowerment, and love. Remembrance of this holy truth is emerging. The resounding call within you is more than just a whisper and it beckons you to reawaken the ancient wisdom, divine knowledge, and vast love that is held within you.

Our Divine Feminine Rising Program is offered through both free and paid programs, in-person and virtual events to reach and embrace the most expansive net of our global community. These resources are offered for all those ready and ripe to rise and stand in the fullness of your power, love, and truth.

Free Monthly Mary Magdalene Transmission Meditations: Each month, we will gather to connect and commune with the essence of this visionary aspect of divine feminine. We will explore the alchemy of Mary Magdalene in relationship to her Divine attributes of mysticism, love, sacred sexuality, Divine adoration, surrender, faith, and unity consciousness to awaken deeper levels of the Divine feminine to RISE with YOU.

In Person & Virtual Womb Healing Programs: You have an energetic center in your body—your womb chakra—that holds the blueprint for your creativity, your intuition, your vitality, and your sense of worthiness. When this center is open and flowing, life feels different. You trust yourself. Boundaries come naturally. Creative ideas flow. You receive love and support without resistance. You feel magnetic, alive, and deeply connected to your purpose.

You are the keepers of sacred magic, the template of the divine feminine, protector of the Holy Grail, the goddess, the Holy of Holies. She is known by many, many names – including Mary Magdalene. Keepers of the sacred threefold flame, you are being called to come together in community to be held, seen, to heal your wounds – our wounds of separation, struggle, and profound forgetting.

Together we will awaken, shift, heal, and evolve, stepping forward with our unique light, truth, and expression of the divine and physical form. As we heal one-by-one and awaken, we heal the many – lifting the planetary vibration and the collective consciousness. Together, we will unite all the aspects of our beauty, wisdom, power, grace, and we will RISE in unity, shining in our greatest love.

I am both the fierce lioness and her vulnerable cub.

Can you relate? I wonder if you… like me… have had a wake up call that sparked a search for something more…

I received a wake-up call at the tender age of 20, when I was diagnosed with Stage 4 endometriosis. I felt scared, scattered, and lost. I was told by my doctor that suffering was a natural part of being a woman. He dismissed my pain as imaginary. He prescribed countless pills and even recommended a hysterectomy. I knew deep down that there had to be another way.

Throughout my life, I found myself seeking safety and love by aligning with masculine qualities. I believed that success, strength, and worthiness were only attainable through the masculine lens. I buried my emotions, strived for perfection, and sacrificed my true self, leading to dark moments of depression and even attempting to end my own life.

The journey of my healing has shown me the deep wounds that women inflict upon themselves and each other. We have silenced and betrayed ourselves, suffocating our own unique light and power. We’ve learned to stand in our power from a distorted masculine perspective, only to witness our bodies, minds, and spirits breaking down.

But we are not meant to create through force or manipulation.

We are spherical creators, dream weavers, and gentle nurturers.

Together, in sacred community, we heal.

The most precious and profound aspects of my healing came through the connection I found with the Divine Feminine, specifically Mary Magdalene. She embodies the divine feminine and teaches us mastery of love, trust, surrender, and tantra. The rising of the divine feminine calls us to express our leadership, creativity, sensuality, and empowerment. She beckons us to discover the infinite love within ourselves, filling our own cups first and transforming our relationships with the world. She is a tangible aspect of the Goddess, and an ally that encourages our inner feminine to RISE, fully empowered as a beacon of love, light and peace.

When we unite, we heal. And I’d love for you to unite with me and other like-minded women for the upcoming workshops and retreats I have created that connect you with your authentic power through knowing and experiencing Mary Magdalene within a sacred sisterhood.

Join me and together, we will release what holds us back so we can rise stronger and wiser from the lessons of the past. True freedom is only achieved when we all are free. Our personal and collective practices shape consciousness – yours, mine, ours – allowing us to become the change we yearn for.

“All the beauty that I experienced while there, it was very healing and cathartic, and it allowed me to step out of my own life and feel and open to divine presence through Adora’s healing meditations and through Veronique, who feels like a person that has come from the past to the present to bring us to that experience of Mary Magdalene’s arrival in France. Adora’s oils were a really valuable, potent part of the meditations that we did. She would give us these oils, and somehow just smelling and putting them on helped further the power of the experience. It was like the oils really helped create that opening and made the meditations that much more powerful. They were a cathartic part of the whole experience and to visit all of these sacred spots was a very healing experience for me where I felt like I was opening up and releasing at the same time. Ever since then, it’s like miracles have been happening in my life and I really feel called to being stronger within myself and being more my true self and that divine presence in my life has come alive and flowered within me.”

“I have been on other retreats that were advertised as being ‘spiritual’ and promising transformative experiences to hidden sources. Your retreat was the first one that actually provided all of that. I came away with feeling that I had a life-changing journey. Every detail of the trip was beautifully coordinated. I felt loving support by Adora, Patsy and Roni. All of my fellow travelers were amazing, supportive women as well. We all bonded on our Mary Magdalene quest. I am grateful and blessed to have participated in this journey.”

— Michelle Smith

“Last week, a friend came over to hear about my trip. I showed her the crystal you had gifted to me and told her how it broke in two while wearing it the first full day of the trip. All of a sudden, her entire being transformed and she began speaking to me in an otherworldly voice. I was told the speaker was the ‘Collective.’ The speaker told me that the breakage symbolized the culmination of letting go of a deep guilt that I had been holding onto for centuries. The visitor then said that I have been working on this release for several months and that by my going on the journey, I had finally taken the last step to release this dark guilt from my soul. The message: I had burdened my soul and buried so deep, I did not remember it in this lifetime. Unfathomable, but totally on a soul level. Your work with me removed all the last cords, etc. So thank you and MM again.”

“Words fail when I try to communicate the profound experience I had during my time in France with Adora, Patsy and Roni. There is a chemistry between these 3 women that was able to alchemize and resurrect aspects of my soul that I’ve not known before. Through the path of sisterhood, ritual, sacred oils and place, my heart cracked open toward myself. Each day brought a new level of cosmic complexity and sacred union with Mary, Myself, the Sisterhood and the Scarab. There is an order, a sacred geometry to the design of the program’s flow. It takes you to your edge, equips you with what you need to take the leap and loves no matter what you decide to do next. I always felt held, safe and loved by the guides, the group, and land. I’ve been all over the globe, led and attended all types of retreats, yet nothing has compared to my time in France with Adora, Patsy, Roni and my Sisters who journeyed with me. We danced, we dined, and dove deep – but most of all we fell in love with each other and ourselves.”

— Tammy Marshall

“This retreat was magical. Full not only of sacred places but sacred ceremonies, meditations, and communion with the group. During my time in France with Adora, I experienced several awakenings that have already had a great positive impact on my life and being.”

— Kay Francis

“Wow! Talk about good vibes only! I went on the Mary Magdalene retreat with Adora this past September. I did not know what to expect. I went with an open mind and open heart. My experience was truly amazing! Adora had a wonderful guide whose love and passion for where she came from and for the mysteries of the life of Mary Magdalene were felt with her every word. Roni was very knowledgeable and I learned a lot about the places we visited, the life of Mary Magdalene, and the people that came in contact with her and her work. The beauty of the countryside of France and the weather around the time of the year that we went made the trip that much more special. I can’t forget to mention the delicious meals that were included in our package. Wow! In this retreat I was able to tap into a deeper connection of myself and the universe with Adora’s guided meditations. Adora has a gift which allowed us to travel to different places in our meditations. I was able to see colors, images of geometry, icons, and people that left me with an incredible feeling of what just occurred. When the tour was over and I was back home, I felt much lighter. There were things that I was carrying before the trip. I was able to release so much! I came home happy and with a new perspective on the things that were bothering me. They didn’t bother me anymore. The trip was a true transformational experience aside from visiting beautiful places full of history. We also got to have some free time to shop, eat, imbibe, and have fun! I met a great group of women who I’m still in touch with. I loved it! I would definitely go back!”
