The Living Altar *

Hello, Magdalena…

Are you ready to deepen your devotional experience with Mary Magdalene? 

Longing for a space to do the work, in sisterhood, in person? 

Walking the Way of the Magdalene is not meant to be done alone. This work is best done in community - and we’ve been waiting for you.

This Is For You If:

❋ You are craving depth, ritual, and ceremony — in the flesh, not on a screen or alone in your room.

❋ You have outgrown the spaces that used to hold you and have not yet found the ones that fit.

❋ You are doing the work, but doing it alone feels like something is missing.

❋ You’ve done solitary practice and now you’re ready to come alive in the presence of other women.

Offering: The Living Altar

The Living Altar is a 7-week ceremonial immersion into the Magdalene Mysteries - in person along the Front Range of Colorado. 7 weeks of devotional ceremonies, rituals and studies, grounded in the real.

We’ll enter 7 gates associated with Mary Magdalene, deepening into sacred texts, embodiment practices, immersive nature journeys, plants (tea, essence and oils), drumming, chanting, mantra, prayer and sacred witnessing.

Together, we’ll move through our spiritual becoming as we cycle through the mysteries of Death, Life & Resurrection. We’ll create a solid foundation where you’ll be supported by local sisterhood and you’ll come to truly know yourself, as a Magdalena - walking the Way of Love.

❋ Grounded in the foundational teachings of Mary Magdalene

❋ Held inside a true circle of women who see and support you

❋ Becoming the living embodiment of a spiritual practice that belongs to you

The Details

❋ 7 in-person immersive gatherings/ceremonies in the Bolder/Longmont area to embody the work together.

❋ A digital platform with weekly practices and sacred text readings

❋ 3 LIVE online video sessions for grounding the teaching and connecting as a circle

❋ A living sisterhood that holds you for the full 7 weeks (and beyond).

❋ Ongoing guidance, support, and reflection throughout the program.

❋ Teachings rooted in the Gospel of Mary Magdalene and the foundational path of the Magdalene way.

You’ll also receive:

❋ Anointing oils & flower essences

❋ Guided meditations & practices to incorporate into your daily rituals

❋ A secure Signal or Watsapp chat group

❋ and so much more…

How We Move Through It

Each week, we’ll meet in person to embody the teachings as well as digital support. (Please note: This is not a lecture series. It is a living experience.)

  • Meet your sisters and begin building the trust that holds the circle.

  • Initiate the time and space we’ll be holding together in sacred sisterhood.

  • Understand the framework that will guide our time together.

Weeks 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6: Deepening Foundational Work

  • Learn the story and spiritual lineage of Mary Magdalene.

  • Receive foundational teachings from the Gospel of Mary Magdalene and other sacred texts.

  • Deepen into what each gate asks of you personally.

  • Practice together in ceremony, reflection and shared inquiry.

  • Move more deeply into the teachings and their ‘living’ application.

  • Hold space for one another in sacred sisterhood.

  • Begin to embody this work as a real, devotional way of being.

Week 7: Closing Ceremony

Because this work unfolds in layers, your consistent presence matters. Committing to attend at least 5 of the 7 in-person gatherings ensures you receive the full depth of the experience while also contributing to the trust, continuity, and intimacy of the circle. Each gathering builds on the last. Your presence isn’t just for you, it’s part of what holds the container for everyone.

Investment

Creating a container like The Living Altar is devotional work that extends far beyond what is visible on the surface. Hours upon hours are devoted to designing, holding, and refining this experience, through deep spiritual attunement, detailed planning, emotional presence, and the behind-the-scenes labor that makes each gathering feel safe, coherent and alive.

I use a sliding scale investment structure which makes the work as accessible as possible, while also honoring the time, resources, and love it takes to put this intensive experience together. Sliding scale is a partnership in integrity, (not to be thought of as a discount model). Choose the tier that most honestly reflects your reality and supports the sustainability of this work for you and for others. Thank you!

*Please Note: There are only (2) spots available for the Support Tier.

Next Steps

The Living Altar begins May 20th.

Because this is an application-only experience, a 30-minute 1:1 conversation is required prior to registration. If you feel called to join, please reach out directly to schedule your conversation or use this link.

If you’ve already completed your 1:1 with me, wonderful—please message me with your selected tier, and we’ll complete your payment via PayPal or Venmo to reserve your place.

If you have any questions about the program, feel free to reach out directly. I’m happy to connect and support your discernment.

P.S. Spaces are intentionally limited so each woman in this circle is truly supported and held. If you feel the call, I encourage you to not wait.

FAQ’s

  • No. The Living Altar is designed to serve as a foundation for seasoned and curious Magdalenas alike. You do not need to come in knowing anything, but please do come in with an open mind and open heart.

  • Yes. We designed the program with real life in mind. The in-person gatherings and online work give you enough structure to go deep without overwhelm. If you can carve out time to show up, the program will meet you.

    However, this is a commitment and we want to ensure the women who sign up will be present. If you know that you will be unable to attend more than 2 in-person sessions, please do consider joining at a future time.

  • The in-person gatherings are held locally in Boulder, Longmont and the surrounding region of Northern Colorado. Each experience is designed to be embodied and immersive. Think ceremony, shared practice and prayer, and real connection. Further details on locations, suggested dress and more will be shared each week.

  • Participation in The Living Altar asks that each woman come resourced—emotionally, mentally, and physically able to engage in an immersive, in-person container. This is intentional, depth-oriented work, and it requires a stable foundation of personal wellbeing and support.

    Because part of our time together will include nature-based practices and hikes of up to 3 miles at elevation, a reasonable level of physical fitness is necessary. While these journeys are not extreme, they do ask for stamina, mobility, and the ability to move safely and comfortably in natural terrain.

    This is offered with care, not exclusion. It is simply about honoring the integrity of the space, the land we will be on, and ensuring that each participant can fully and safely receive the experience.

  • That is exactly why this program exists. Many women step into The Living Altar without a sisterhood and leave with one. The circle is warm, real, and built with care.

  • Because The Living Altar is a deeply curated, small-group immersion that requires extensive preparation, holding, and behind-the-scenes devotion long before we begin, all payments are non-refundable. Each space is reserved specifically for you, and your commitment directly supports the integrity and sustainability of the entire container.

    This work is carefully resourced, energetically held, and dependent on each participant’s full commitment. For that reason, I ask that you check in honestly with yourself before enrolling and ensure you are truly ready to say yes.

    If you feel uncertain, I encourage you to take your time, ask questions, and only move forward when there is a clear and grounded sense of alignment.

  • Life does happen and I understand that unexpected circumstances can arise.

    Because The Living Altar is a small, intentionally held group container with limited spaces and a deeply woven arc of experiences, I’m not able to offer refunds, credits, or make-up sessions for missed gatherings. Each session is part of a carefully held unfolding that the whole circle is moving through together.

    If you do miss a session, you will still be held in the energy of the work and are encouraged to rejoin us at the next gathering, where you’ll be welcomed back into the field.

  • Reach out to Dionisia directly. She will get back to you personally.

  • “Such an honor to witness and be witnessed by each woman in their magnificence. Thank you, Dio, for your vision and magic!”

    —Amelia

  • “Such a beautiful, soulful experience.”

    —Katherine

  • "Dio has an incredible ability to crack open the space into deep vulnerability. And the sacred anointing and body mandalas were a beautiful alchemy into our divinity.”

    —Genevieve

  • "I felt free to be seen in my entirety, without shame and with so much love and nourishment from the other women. Dio held a strong boundary around the container, allowing for safety, ease, and beauty to flow through.”

    —Nisha

  • "Dionisia’s passion for the sacred feminine is evident and she artfully crafts experiences to help you connect to your own divine experience in a way that is safe, supportive, and fun.”
