Magdalene On Being

Saint Mary Magdalene (detail) by Pietro Perugino (1448-1523) Galleria Palatina, Florence, Italy

“Mary Magdalene and Radical Hospitality,” excerpted from a longer article, is now on On Being, the website linked to Krista Tippett’s superb radio show of the same name.

My longer piece references and quotes from Cynthia Bourgeault’s excellent The Meaning of Mary Magdalene: Discovering the Woman at the Heart of Christianity.

Drawing on what I learned while writing The Woman’s Belly Book: Finding Your True Center for More Energy, Confidence, and Pleasure, the longer piece also considers Mary Magdalene’s body-centered pro-creative power in relation to the sacred geometry of the Holy Grail.

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to contribute to On Being’s outstanding offerings!
