Welcome
This is an important time right now on our planet and for humanity – a time for coming into a new balance.
Join me, Kelly Graham, for a unique series of workshops designed to address the balance of feminine and masculine energies through movement, breathing, sound, guided meditation, and visualization.
Unleash Your Inner Magdalene
Explore the concept of Anthropos – being fully human – and how to access your innate potential for being fully human. Understand the inherent balance of both masculine and feminine energies within each of us and the healing that is wanted in our current environment. Get in touch with the anger/rage you’ve suppressed for so long, as well as your heart’s true desires…
We will use movement, pranayama, guided meditations and visualizations to embark on a journey of self-reflection and introspection. The guided meditations help to initiate profound healing. Experience the power of specific exercises brought forth by Mary Magdalene and tailored to this workshop series.
You will walk away with practices to integrate the newfound wisdom into your daily life, leaving you feeling empowered, rejuvenated, and connected to your most authentic self.
Embark on this transformative journey of self-discovery, energetic balance, and inner harmony. Join “The Way of the Magdalene” workshop series and unlock your full human potential.

About Kelly: A practitioner of yoga since 1987, Kelly co-founded and ran the Synergy Center, a yoga and massage center in Salt Lake City, Utah in the 1990s. While in Salt Lake, Kelly partnered with other yoga instructors to create a community-based yoga studio.
In 2006, Kelly began studying The Gospel of Mary Magdalene (translated by Jean-Yves Leloup, 2002) which is the first English-language translation of the original Coptic Gospel of Mary Magdalene, and was discovered before the Dead Sea Scrolls.
