Discover the Eye of the Heart

In this online experience, explore ancient teachings that inspire our inner power.

The Gospel of Mary was ordered to be destroyed in the fourth century. Why? The Gospel of Mary reveals a transformational power that exists within all of us, no matter who we are.

The Gospel of Mary, and other texts labeled “apocryphal,” or “of doubtful authenticity,” like The Acts of Paul and Thecla challenged the patriarchal structure of power in the first century by demonstrating that women were as worthy as men to hold positions of spiritual authority.

To find this transformational power, all we need to do is turn inward, be still, and acquire a form of spiritual perception The Gospel of Mary refers to as “the eye of the heart.” This allows us to see past the ego of our own little lives to what’s more real, lasting, infinite, and already here, within.

Join Harvard-trained feminist theologian Meggan Watterson for an evening of discovering the secret teachings Christ gave to Mary, the spiritual authority Thecla claimed, and how these first-century saints point us back inward to an ultimate power to transform our lives today.
