Surely it would have created a radical difference for women in the church if we had known more fully the biblical history and interpretation of Mary Magdalene. Through recently developed research and insight, we can explore the powerful and prophetic witness of this disciple. Beth Maczka is uniquely gifted to guide us on this journey.
Through her seminary study and her extensive travels that uncovered ancient and contemporary art, we are offered a new lens to see Mary Magdalene. It is a life-changing perspective. Through her own transformative passage, Maczka invites us to discover our own heart stirrings in this multi-faceted and experiential retreat.
