TOWER OF MAGDALA

INITIATIONS & PILGRIMAGE WITH MARY MAGDALENE

A collage of various objects including a stone ruin, a wooden statue, white angel wings, a skull, a pearl, a golden anchor, a white horse, a vase, and a mix of red, pink, and white flowers.
Text that reads "Rosa Magdalena mystery school" in stylized font.

A living path of enchantment, ritual, and return.

Can you feel the calling?
Her footsteps have become a herd of wild horses.
A new river is flowing.
A new Renaissance is awakening.
The scent of roses is becoming a movement.

Going in search of the heart, I found a huge rose under my feet.
The robe we wear is sky’s cloth.
Everything is soul and flowering
.”
— Rumi

Rosa Magdalena is a sacred lineage of remembrance—ancient, alive, and timeless.

It exists beyond belief systems, doctrines, or hierarchical history.

This is not a school of information, but a path of lived transmission and embodied knowing.

Rooted in the Rose as teacher and guide, Rosa Magdalena transmits a legacy of love, healing, and guardianship. The Rose is both beauty and boundary, mystic and protector, softness and strength.

You are invited to walk the Rose Line with Mary Magdalene—not as a figure of repentance, but as a sovereign being of intimacy, courage, and presence, who spoke about the great mysteries. 

“I will teach you about what is hidden from you.”— Gospel of Mary 6.3

It’s time to lift the veil, as this was never about just one woman’s story. It’s about a tradition of Myrrhophores: midwives of death, exile, and resurrection, who are the custodians of earth’s mysteries carried in the body and perfumed alabaster jars.

Mystery schools exist to restore connectionto one another, to the land, and to what has been forgotten.

This is not about following a system; it’s about creating and learning through art.

It is about cultivating new sight—so you can create the life you were born to live.

This work opens you into new timelines, new storylines, and a new humanity—the Rose Era.

Change is accelerating, and the illusion of solitary independence is dissolving.

The next era is collaborative, passionate, and heart-centered.

We are being called to participate in a new collective renaissance.

Magdala means tower—a place of seeing clearly, standing firmly, and offering refuge.

This container is designed to help you stay true to yourself—as a Tower of Magdala, a steady, luminous vessel alive with nature’s intelligence. Playful and enraptured by the divine architecture of Sophia’s wisdom that is everywhere.

A 6-Month Online Initiation & Rose Line Pilgrimage

Journey through land, body, and memory—following the rose-woven path traditionally associated with Mary Magdalene’s exile, teaching years, and devotion in southern France.

Embark on the mythic arc of pilgrimage—descent, initiation, revelation, and rebirth.

  • Walk slowly and intentionally

  • Enter caves, chapels, springs, and wild places through the imaginal and visceral with flower essences and herbs

  • Practice silence, ritual, song, and shared stories

  • Release inherited imprints of shame, repression, and diminishment

  • Your land and body are the teacher and the temple

Become your own beloved—and anoint yourself with rituals that:

  • invest in the sacred, offering tenderness, time, and allowance to softly surrender and receive guided support in community

  • nourish your body with somatic practices that revive your entire biology to mend chronic exhaustion, overstimulation, overgiving, and emotional laboring

  • merge the feminine and masculine principles into a non-dual/non-binary creative wholeness, grounded in the sensual-soul-self of sacred union

  • deconstruct inherited myths and old paradigms of separation, oppression, and extraction to build an inner stature of sovereign presence and compassion

  • heal religious and corrupted spiritual abuse by resourcing your faith through gnosis (direct-knowledge that arises from the living substance of your own being)

  • discover your authentic relationship with Mary Magdalene through the study of esoteric symbolism, mythology, archetypal study, plant medicine, and animist ecology

  • re-seed ancient prophecies for modern life, and embolden your confidence to rebel outside the norm and step into the mystery

Whether you feel called to priestess service, stewardship of sacred lineages, or quiet personal self-discovery, these teachings are universal, timeless, and transformative.

The online temple container is open to all devotees, regardless of gender or background.

ELEMENTAL ALCHEMY

Magdelena is a Priestess of the Rose and healing oils. She is often depicted in red-and-green robes. Green for her fidelity to nature, cyclical wisdom, and herbal arts, and red for her impassioned devotion, blood mysteries, and erotic union.

Throughout this journey, you will receive a multiflora ritual kit, hand-crafted with the pilgrimage lands of Southern France, California, and Egypt.

This kit functions as a ceremonial companion and living manual, supporting you through every stage of initiation.

Each Flora Land Essence, herb, and element carries years of devotion, study, and prayer.

These are not symbolic objects—they are active allies, awakening through ritual and transmission.

YOUR RITUAL KIT INCLUDES:

THE TEMPLE + COURSE CONTAINER

The Mystery School follows a rose spiral of ceremony, community, council, and self-study. We gather monthly for live teachings and rituals, each devoted to a Petal of Initiation and Elemental Alchemy.

Each stage is supplemented with a Council + Gospel session for collaborative sharings, contemplation, and discussion of Gnostic texts, Mystical Poetry, and Mary Magdalene’s Gospel.

Every Petal will include immersive visual meditations filmed on location, with resources, toolkits, and somatic practices to guide you through the rose rites of passage.

THE ROSE TIMELINE

  • Six Ceremonial Calls: Sundays at 12:00 pm PST | 3:00 pm EDT (2 hours)

  • Five Council + Gospel Circles: Wednesdays at 4:00 pm PST | 7:00 pm EDT (90 minutes)

Symbols + Stages of Transformation

Ceremonial Activations

  • MYRRHOPHORES

    The Anointed Ones - You are an emissary of nature.

  • RITE OF PASSAGE

    Magdalena Triad of Initiation

    At the heart of pilgrimage is the truth that cannot be inherited or explained—only embodied. Let yourself become undone, releasing old identities and egoic control through the rites of the skull as the death of illusion, the cave as the descent, gestation, stillness, and the pearl as the hidden wisdom earned through lived experience.

  • BELOVED

    Chalice of the heart—that which gives and receives freely, holds and trusts the deeper work of love.

    Embody Eros through the transmission of Magdalene and Yeshua’s eternal love and hieros gamos (sacred marriage). Release the wounds of distortion within masculine and feminine principles to merge into a non-dual state of wholeness.

  • THE TOWER

    Reclaim your sovereignty through the prophecy of the Cathars: one day, the Rose Temple will be rebuilt in the heart.

    Learn how to pivot in moments of reconfiguration with clarity of spirit and steady resolve. Even when the tower falls, you have the trust to surrender and the willingness to call upon a community of support.

  • GUARDIANS OF THE ROSE

    Integration & Return: Life becomes a pilgrimage. 

    Learn about the guardianship of the Camargue Cross, forged by living devotion. You are part of a lineage, and now is the time to share your gifts. Just as the angels supported Magdalene in her cave of contemplation, you too are protected.

WALKING THE ROSE LINE

Remember what calls and comforts you.

Release what you no longer need to carry.

Encounter spirit with full humanity—Anthropos.

Return to the Rose for an everyday love affair.

YOUR TEACHERS & GUIDES

The Rose

will be at the center in all its colours, seasons, and forms. Together, we’ll become like petals, sharing in the pollination of apprenticeship and mentorship. 

Roses are our parental, collective ancestors, whose very birth millions of years ago was the fruit of Earth’s Eros. Seeded within our bones and breath is a connection that can be traced through all lineages, weaving us together. 

We are kin. We are life’s “Greening Force.” 

The rose is calling us homeward, beyond divisions, to steward a new Emerald Earth.

The soul is like the wind that nurtures the greenness of the earth.

—Hildegard von Bingen

KIMIKO TAO FUJIMOTO

Naturalist, mystical dweller, and rose mentor of the heart. Kimiko has been a teacher of teachers within the traditions of yoga, healing, and mysticism for over 20 years.

Born into the Rose Lineage, beginning with her luminary mother and two fathers, she then embarked on a lifelong quest to remember and dedicate herself as an initiated Priestess.

She awakened to the Mary Magdalene teachings in 2017 with a complete visceral transmissional download that became the seeds of the Rosa Magdalena Mystery School, which has remained in gestation for nearly 9 years and is now open to the public for the first time.

She creates containers for individuals to care for their inner and outer landscapes with authentic, soulful expression through private and group mentorship, yoga teacher trainings, and collective leadership initiatives.

Deeply passionate about walking the lands as a pilgrim, writer, and artist, she spends most of her time as a floral alchemist, crafting wildflower land essences, retreats, and experiences to reinvigorate our kinship with the wild and animist side of nature.

Fragile rose, I've trodden the soil of your roots, released the fragrance of your origins, tasted the essence of your beauty. I've tried so hard to get to know you, to contemplate your mystery, that I've become a rose —Mystical Mentor & Father: Marc Ismaël Tremblay 

The lovely and extraordinary teacher and mentor Sara Gallagher Bloom will be joining us on pilgrimage, offering morning yoga practices to awaken the rose frequencies.

“Kimiko guided me to connect with Mother Rose & the Rose Lineage through the essence & a channel of information opened up. So many Rose Codes started flowing in the days & weeks to follow & I’d never felt more in tune with the wisdoms of the Rose Lineage. This essence brought me back to the core of my Truth as a Rose & Magdalene Priestess & reconnected me with Nature & Mother Earth in ways words can’t even describe.” —Ella

“Kimiko has a powerful gift: she can hear the truth that exists between words. She helps me connect with plant allies in ways that allow me to become more fully myself—more like the flower in the room, open, present, and rooted. Her presence is deeply intuitive and nourishing, and the guidance she offers is always grounded, heartfelt, and wise.”

“I have had an incredible experience with the Rosa Magdalena. I have felt a tremendous connection and a sense of deep love and protection. Thank you so much for this gift. I just finished my bottle and can still feel the magic.” —Renee

"Thank you Kimiko for being a true midwife of the soul. your commitment to the plant allies, the earth, and myth makes you a teacher of profound depth and integrity. you balance discipline with compassion and I am so grateful and inspired by you and the work you do.” —Trista

Kimiko is wonderful, and I'm in love with how she divines with flowers and plants. She reminds us of all the earthly and cosmic bounty surrounding us at all times, and does so in such a creative way.” —Lisa

"Kimiko has such powerful story narrating skills that help you understand how we are all connected in this world, aspiring to be the best versions of ourselves and seeking to fulfil our purpose in this life. It is also a testament to what a great soul she is." —Student
