May I attend any of the book circles currently meeting or did I need to register for them in advance. I’d love to just sit in on one and listen.

A Mother’s Day love letter to the women who lost themselves while keeping everyone else alive Sandi Rufo May 10, 2026 Today, I’m thinking about all the women in their fifties and sixties who are being celebrated on Mother’s Day, but deep down, still don’t feel worthy of the flowers, brunches, cards, mimosas, or “you’re the best mom ever” declarations. Not because they didn’t do enough. Because they did too much. They did so much that somewhere along the way, they disappeared inside the doing. We were born into a time when certain expectations were already laid out for us before we even had a chance to ask ourselves what we wanted. Our mothers and grandmothers were told that success meant finishing school, getting married, having children, putting dinner on the table, keeping the house somewhat presentable, and making sure everyone had clean socks, brushed hair, and something vaguely edible in a lunchbox. And honestly? The bar was different then. You could put some saltine-cracker-covered chicken breasts in an onion soup casserole situation, call it dinner, and everyone lived to tell the tale. You could slap together peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, toss them into paper bags, send the family off, and then sit on the couch with your coffee, watch your soaps, clean during commercials, maybe fold some laundry, maybe not, maybe eat a sleeve of Nilla Wafers and call it lunch. There might be a Tupperware party. Maybe a casserole swap. Maybe a Avon lady at the door. Work was for men. Play was for kids. Housewives were expected to hold it all together, but at least the world didn’t pretend they also had to become CEOs, nutritionists, therapists, room moms, activists, interior designers, fitness influencers, and emotionally regulated goddesses with perfect countertops. Some women loved the old arrangement. Some women were quietly suffocating inside it. Some women were fighting like hell to get out. Then something changed. The late eighties and early nineties brought a new kind of promise, but also a new kind of trap.

🌹 Two Marys. Two Book Circles. One Foundational Path. LIMITED TO 12 Participants for each BEGINNING JUNE 11th More Info: PREMIUM MEMBERS GET FREE ACCESS HERE👇 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TC_w8om76cljZFDGmUx3ZBYK9-lTewUqWelzmhSN2Fk/edit?usp=sharing TO UPGRADE TO PREMIUM: https://www.skool.com/the-magdalene-network/plans This season inside the Magdalene Network, we are opening two new book circles for Premium Members, and honestly, I love how perfectly these two selections speak to each other. One takes us into the hidden life and sacred feminine wisdom of Mother Mary. The other takes us into the historical, human, and spiritually significant life of Mary Magdalene. Together, they help us begin rebuilding the story that was never fully told. Not the flattened version.Not the obedient-woman-in-the-corner version.Not the “repentant sinner” nonsense.Not the version where women are present but somehow never central. These books invite us to ask better questions. What if Mother Mary was more than the passive vessel of the Church’s imagination? What if Mary Magdalene was more than the scandal they pinned to her name? What if both Marys were essential spiritual figures whose wisdom, power, and presence were far more important than we were taught? This is why we gather. Not just to read.Not just to discuss.Not just to collect more information. We gather to remember what was hidden, feel what rises in our own bodies when the story changes, and reclaim the feminine wisdom that has been waiting underneath the dust. Choose your circle: 🌹 PM Circle: The Secret Life of Mother Mary by Marguerite Mary Rigoglioso Thursdays, 5pm PST / 8pm EST This circle is for you if you feel drawn to Mother Mary, sacred birth, priestess traditions, divine feminine lineage, and the hidden wisdom surrounding the incarnation of Jesus.

Join us on Saturday morning and see the process we use to connect to the Divine Feminine and to ask for our needs to be met. We love new voices joining us and this circle is available to all to experience on Saturdays at 7 am pacific. (we gather everyday - so you can, actually, join us anytime you need a prayer!) https://us06web.zoom.us/j/88303856346?pwd=J1uQXu4jE1EbZhf6UnFSQq6Ta7xQYA.1
