Join Michelle and Eric during this special conversation honoring the Feast of Mary Magdalene day with a bold and tender exploration of who she truly was, and why her relationship with Yeshua holds the keys to the sacred union of spirit and flesh within us all.  Together, we’ll speak to:

• The distortion of sexuality in modern Magdalene narratives
• The truth about “twin flames”, eros, and spiritualized sex addiction
• The deeper invitation to integrate love, not just long for it
• How the union between Magdalene and Christ reveals a template for wholeness in both our
inner life and our sacred relationships

This isn’t a romanticized myth. It is a living remembrance.

This conversation will stir your soul, ground your body, and call you home to the love you were made to carry.  Because Magdalene is not just a story of the past.  She is a voice of truth, integration and hope rising now, in us all.

In 1940, author John Steinbeck and Marine biologist Ed Ricketts chartered the 80' fishing boat, "Western Flyer," for a tidepooling expedition into the Gulf of Californaia. And while many important scientific discoveries were made, the lasting impact of the trip came from the philosophical revelations entered into the ship's log, passages that inspired the thought-provoking book, "The Log of the Sea of Cortez." 

Following the charter, the boat served for decades as a fishing and expedition vessel, then predictably faded into obscurity.
 
Now completely refurbished and following a recent expedition in Baja, the Flyer is reigniting a spark of awe and wonder to the many people - host Eric Rankin among them - who consider the book it inspired as one of the most deeply profound and enlightening exposés regarding the human condition ever written.
 
Join Eric, Michelle and guest, Sarah Beck as Eric shares his experience of recently visiting the Flyer in person and reads several of his all time favorite  passages from the book.
