‘Mary Magdalene and Jesus on the multidimensionality of humanity’ is the central theme of our Dutch 2026 summer workshop in southern France at conference centre Les Labadous near the Mary Magdalene pilgrimage site Rennes-le-Château in the Pyrenees.
In this area, Mary Magdalene founded her first community in exile. This new workshop is characterised by sports in the impressive nature around Rennes-le-Château. Developing Cosmic Citizenship based on the insights of Mary Magdalene and Jesus for the benefit of a New World is the central topic of the multi-day gathering. During the workshops, mainly new channeled material will be used.
Location
This Dutch summer workshop takes place in the area where Mary Magdalene began and established her spiritual mission two thousand years ago. During her walks through the valleys, over the hills and mountains and her meditations in the caves and in nature, together with Jesus from the spiritual dimension, she created an energetic base in this area, which is extremely conducive to getting in touch with the love source of your own heart. The loving feminine energy of this environment penetrates you and acts as a carrier for opening your heart and activating the Feminin Christ in you.
Theme
During the summer workshop, in addition to workshops in the cool room of Les Labadous, we will also be outdoors and ‘out and about’, connecting with the environment in a penetrating way. This workshop therefore has not only a spiritual, but certainly also a sporty character. With the help of an enthusiastic Dutchman, who has great knowledge of the area, we will explore the area that Mary Magdalene loved so much and where she founded her first community in nature. Thus, as we do, we will realise more and more what her mission, together with Jesus, is in the Cosmos and for humanity, and make contact with her consciousness for that purpose.
Mary Magdalene and Jesus have always remained connected to the Cosmos. Even before their mission on this planet, they built a network of highly evolved beings that supported them in activating the Christ Consciousness for humanity on Earth. Therefore, during their life and work two thousand years ago, their Cosmic citizenship was already a reality. They were connected to the Cosmos in many ways through their great spiritual abilities. For example, their light bodies enabled them to travel spiritually to get in touch with multiple high level civilisations in various dimensions and Universes of the Cosmos.
What will we do concretely?
We will unite with the impressive nature and make penetrating contact with Mother Earth, especially in spiritual places. So we will do less cultural things, like visiting churches, museums and historical sites. But we will climb the mountain of feminine energy, Pech Cardou, for example.
Also, we check out the cave dwellings at Bugarach and take a dip in the lake near the village. We infiltrate the magical ‘stone forest’ of Nebias and of course visit the Mary Magdalene valley and the extensive natural areas in the immediate vicinity of Centre Les Labadous, such as at La Pique.
We make our way by car and/or taxi bus to places in the area to go hiking from there. We also take refreshing dives. For example, in the Fontaine des Amours, where it is said that Mary Magdalene baptised her followers.
Personal development
The summer workshop is a wonderful opportunity to work on your personal development in a special spiritual setting. You come into process with yourself, with your fellow participants, with Gabriela and Reint and, of course, with Mary Magdalene and Jesus. Thus, the students undergo initiations by Mary Magdalene and Jesus aimed at opening the heart in the relationship with yourself, with others and awakening your Cosmic Citizenship in order to contribute to the creation of a New World.
Format
The varied programme on intensifying your relationship with Mother Earth and Mary Magdalene will, besides the walks and ‘climbs’, take shape through guided meditations, healings, revelations, exercises, proclamations, prayers, rituals, blessings, coaching and personal guidance, either in nature or in the workshop room of Les Labadous. You will be given a folder for the material to be handed out. During the workshop, coached by Gabriela and Reint, there is room for sharing and interacting with each other in a safe setting.
Besides the workshop parts, whether in nature or not, there are also playful evening programmes. The convivial evenings have an optional and relaxed character including singing, dancing, skits and stories. There are also performances by spiritual artists from the immediate area. For instance, we visit pianist Devayani and her family for a concert.
Personal growth
Intense connection with nature, combined with inner work and relaxing meeting moments, makes this particular workshop an opportunity to further your personal and spiritual growth and make the most of the current transformation of consciousness towards a New World.

A reasonable level of fitness, good physical health and fitness, sunscreen, headgear, easy-fitting clothing, sturdy walking shoes that you can also ‘climb’ while walking, swimwear and bathing towel.

Car transport
Like us, you can drive to Les Labadous by car (from Utrecht 1250 km). This has the advantage that you can build up the trip slowly and use the car to do some shopping in the nearby village of Couiza. There is a regular French supermarket and an organic supermarket there. Should you want to add days to your stay in Les Labadous, you can explore the area further by car and continue your holiday. You can also rent a car at the airports of Toulouse and Carcassonne.
We do our best to connect people who have indicated they would like to drive with someone else. You can express your interest in doing so via info@marymagdaleneandjesus.com.
You can also indicate that you would like to fly together with someone else.
Air transport
There are several flights with KLM/Air France from Amsterdam and with Ryanair Brussels to the airports of Toulouse and Carcassonne. From there, in consultation with us, Centre Labadous can be reached by taxi bus and vice versa. About the best way to book flights via, for example, Brussels Charleroi to Carcassonne and Amsterdam to Toulouse, please consult with us via info@marymagdaleneandjesus.com.
Transport from airport to Labadous
In order to make the transport from the airports of Toulouse and Carcassonne to Les Labadous via minibuses as smooth as possible, it is necessary for participants to arrive at the same time as much as possible in order to keep the taxi bus costs as low as possible. Depending on the number of participants, the amount payable will be in the region of €50 p.p. for a single trip. By mutual agreement, the taxi bus can also return participants to the airports of Toulouse and Carcassonne. The latter can also be discussed with us via info@marymagdaleneandjesus.com.
Sooner or later
Should you wish to arrive a day or days earlier or leave a day or days later, this may be possible, depending on the arrangements you have made with Les Labadous, but then, if you fly, the taxi bus may have fewer passengers and the price will therefore be slightly higher. Transport can be discussed by emailing us at info@marymagdaleneandjesus.com.
