About our Tour
We invite you to join us on a magnificent spiritual journey into greater inner awareness, as we discover the sacred Christ within and walk the Path of the Heart. Let the sacred sites and natural power spots of the Cathars in Southern France open and transform you, as you walk the path of Mary Magdalene, accompanied by the presences of Yeshua, Mother Mary and Saint Germain.
During this tour, we have an opportunity to discover the essence of pure love. As we allow this love to open our hearts, we will come to understand and begin to know what it means to truly walk in love. Guided by the example of Mary Magdalene and Jesus, we will learn how to express love more fully with ourselves and others, as we embody the Divine feminine qualities of gentleness, grace and compassion. By opening to love, we will come into a harmonious balance of power between the inner masculine and feminine, enabling love to flow naturally.
While walking the land, we will discover the magic of what people have known for centuries by uncovering the secrets the land has to offer. We will visit churches, natural spots, caves and ancient sites to facilitate amazing transformations.
This is a high energy tour and takes a slower pace to allow people time to meditate, contemplate and explore the remarkable places that this region has to offer. In this way, we will be able to spend more time at the sites, see more of them and have more of an intimate connection with the power spots

DAY 2 – SATURDAY 23RD MAY 2020
Today, after breakfast, we travel to the majestic areas of Gorge De Galamus and Hermitage De Galamus.
You will enjoy an easy one-kilometre stroll along this beautiful gorge road, looking down two to three-hundred-foot cliffs, into the rugged limestone rock streams of the Gorge De Galamus.
At the end of the walk you will find the Hermitage De Galamus Catholic Church within a cave on the cliff side of the gorge. This heart-opening cave church has a strong presence of Mary Magdalene. Her presence is so strong that some say it must have been one of her ceremonial places.
You can enjoy a wonderful cup of hot chocolate or coffee in the store at the cave’s entrance. It is also a great place to buy souvenirs.

Afterwards, we will visit an old abbey in the town of Cubieres Sur Cinoble. The abbey holds the last remnants of an old Templar-based church.
Later we will travel along a winding country road to visit the mountain peak fortress of Chateau De Payrepertuse. This well-built fortress is a great example of the chateaux of France, established in the dark ages.
Within the structures are two churches – one, the Church of Marie and the other, a hilltop church of San Jordi. Both churches still embody special powers.
We will have lunch near Payrepertuse - for your own account.
Time permitting, we will visit a mystery site in the forest called Route St Marie. No one knows why this engraved stone plaque was built here, except that it seems to be a multi-dimensional portal.
Afterwards, we will return home to enjoy dinner prepared by our French cooks.
Later on, Bart will give a talk about Mary Magdalene.

Next, we visit a sacred cave of the Cathars - Grotte De Bethlehem.
This highly-charged cave taps into deep sources of inner-light within the earth.
Once you have visited it, it is easy to understand why this was a sacred pilgrimage site for the Cathars.
On our way home, we will stop at a country church called Notre Dame De Celles. Mother Mary appeared here to a young man and blessed the local spring in a forested hillside - much like the story of Bernadette in Lourdes.
The church holds a profound presence of Mother Mary and has holy water available for all. The water is equal to the vibrational intensity of the water of Lourdes. Bring your bottles as you will want to take this water home.
This church is open only on Sundays for a rosary service. However, the water is always available.
We will visit this church at the end of the service.
Our day will end with a short walk in a forest.

We will enjoy a picnic in the woods.
This is this longest walking day of eight kilometres on an all-day excursion. Most of our time will be spent sitting in the forest.
Remember to bring some form of mat or pad, water bottle and backpacks to carry your lunch.

We will visit the Monsegur mountain, the last stronghold of the Cathars. This is where the tragic deaths of 200 Cathars occurred in 1244.
Some believe Chateau de Monsegur is a great pilgrimage destination, due to the power which the mountain holds. Two major ley-lines cross at Monsegur, energizing the mountain.
We will perform activations at the base of Monsegur.
Afterwards, we will go for a walk in the forest before driving home to La Grande Mason, where we will enjoy dinner prepared by our French cooks.

Author of “The O Manuscript” Lars Muhl, believes Mary Magdalene did forty-day prayer vigils here.
At the cave of Perillos we will purchase lunch at the bakery Estagel. We will take our lunch with us to the cave, where we will either dine inside or outside it.

In the late morning we will be at “La fontaine des Amours” near Rennes Les Bain.
Legend says that Mary Magdalene did baptisms here. It is a heavenly beautiful place and good for a swim if you like cold water. You could also meditate in this fairy-like atmosphere.
We will have lunch at Rennes Les Bains in the town square under the sycamore trees, for your own account. There is a Brassiere and pizza place, Chez Oui (serving Italian style pizzas). The Brassiere restaurant next door serves hamburgers, various fried foods and salads. The Brassiere owner is a home spun artist, expressing his love for Rennes Le Bains through his art, on view in his restaurant.
You have the afternoon free to relax, either in the hot springs, at the wonderful spa (cost is €12), or you can walk around the small town of Rennes Les Bains. You can also return early to our home and rest in the comfort of your room. Bring your bathing suit if you are going to the hot springs.

DAY 8 – FRIDAY 29TH MAY 2020
Just a short drive away from our home, is the world-famous church of Rennes Les Chateau. The church was used as the setting in the final scene of “The Da Vinci Code.” Author William Henry proclaims, “The church has the most powerful energy in the world.”
It is perceived that the church is sitting upon the intersection of three ley-lines. It was probably a place of worship (most likely for the worshippers of Isis), long before the Catholics arrived.

We will enjoy the second part of the lecture of Sus and Kaj in Rennes Les Chateau. They will explain the history, symbology and energetics of this church with a tour.
Afterwards, we will enjoy a relaxing lunch in Le Jardin De Marie in Rennes Les Chateau. It has a beautiful outdoor restaurant with reasonably-priced delicious lunches. They also have sheep’s milk ice cream that is out of this world. Lunch is for your own account.
There will be some time available for you to shop in a few of the shops in the village.
In the afternoon, we will take a short drive across the valley beside Rennes Les Chateau, to visit “The Caves of Mary Magdalene”. It is unknown why they are called this, although some say she did healings there.
What is more obvious about these caves is that they are ancient. It is hard to tell whether how they were made - are they natural, partially man-made or were they created in another way by the ancients?
One of the caves has a great divine feminine presence which appears to connect deep into Mother Earth. The second cave has more of a masculine energy. The third cave has a cosmic connection and Bart calls it the “Star Cave”.
These three caves each have their own distinct presence and the most popular appears to be the feminine cave, where ancient rituals of fertility were most likely performed.
This is a tour favourite and we will spend at least three hours here. There will also be time for individual and group energy work.
We will have dinner at home, prepared by our French cooks.

Today we visit Alet-Les-Bains where we visit an old Roman church in this small town - the home of Nostradamus.
Then we go up a narrow winding hill to the tiny village of Saint Salyvre, a former Roman outpost, and now a spiritual community centre. French stories say Jesus died here.
You may sense the presence of Jesus very strongly here. When placing your hands on the alter you may experience a very powerful energy in both the crown and third eye chakras.
This is an amazing place which is located on a mountain pass, at around 2,000 feet. The views are spectacular.
We will have a late lunch in the town square of Limoux, for your own account.
After lunch we will head north of Limoux to the Notre Dame De Marceille - a locally famous church with a high-vibrational holy well. A black Madonna was mysteriously found in a nearby field, in the eighth century.
Just down the road, is Saint-Polycarpe, an old Visigoth based church. It holds a powerful earth-based energy within it.

DAY 10 – SUNDAY 31ST MAY 2020
This morning we take a quick trip to Du Besu, an old Templar mountain fortress, on one of the power peaks in the Bugarach valley. It was likely this was one of the Templar’s most sacred places.

We will say farewell to the area from this strategic point.
We will have a quick lunch in Quillian, for your own account.

Additional Specific Terms & Conditions
A full list of Linda Jordaan and Carol Cooper-Steyn’s Transformation Tours’ general terms and conditions are available here. Additional specific terms and conditions relating to this tour are as follows:
General Information
Money and Credit Cards
There are ATM’s at most Post Offices in small towns so Euros are fairly easy to obtain. You can also bring Euros in cash. If you choose to use ATMs here make sure you have your code number for your card, the ATMs here accept many major bank cards.
Flights
Please do not buy your flights until Linda Jordaan or Carol Cooper-Steyn confirms that the minimum numbers have been met and that this tour is definitely running.
Luggage
We are travelling in a minibus so please keep your luggage to a minimum. Please do not bring large luggage as there are laundry facilities at our accommodation.
Accommodation
For the duration of the tour, we will be staying at La Grande Mason de Brezilhou. This three-storey home, a former wine merchants house, is situated at the foot of the Pyrenees on the banks of the river Aude. It is located between the village of Campagne Sur Aude and the market town of Quillan.
The house has six-bedrooms, which can accommodate 10 people. There are 3 twin bedrooms and 3 double bedrooms that our group will be sharing. There are four bathrooms, which we will also be shared.
There is a private garden and a swimming pool for your use. There is also a room where you can do your laundry that has a washing machine and tumble dryer.
All bed linen and bath towels are provided. Please bring your own swimming towel.
Meals
Continental breakfasts and dinners are included in our tour price. The dinners are prepared for us by French cooks.
Lunches are for your own account. It is recommended that you budget between €15 to €30 for your lunch, drinks and snacks per day, depending on your requirements.
Preparing for the Tour
We will be doing lots of walking and some of the time up steep inclines. It is best to shape up should you not be used to this kind of walking. Many trails are uneven footpaths used for centuries, unlike the cut trails by a parks service.
The longest we may possibly walk in a day is approximately four miles (8 kilometres). This of course will depend on the group’s desires. There will be walking sticks available for use.
What to Expect
French country living is casual dress, even for dinner out. Expect a variety of temperatures and conditions in spring, summer and autumn. Count on some cloudy, rainy days. This will require us to schedule some excursions around the weather, as lower elevations closer to the coast are easier to visit on rainy days.
Things to bring on Tour

The general weather predicted for the month of May is as follows: There is more sunshine, temperatures rise with some really hot days. Nights are noticeably warmer. Rainfall, the same, less wind. It will more than likely be possible to swim from mid-May.

Flights

Luggage
We are travelling in a minibus so please keep your luggage to a minimum. Please do not bring large luggage as there are laundry facilities at our accommodation.
Accommodation
For the duration of the tour, we will be staying at La Grande Mason de Brezilhou. This three-storey home, a former wine merchants house, is situated at the foot of the Pyrenees on the banks of the river Aude. It is located between the village of Campagne Sur Aude and the market town of Quillan.
The house has six-bedrooms, which can accommodate 10 people. There are 3 twin bedrooms and 3 double bedrooms that our group will be sharing. There are four bathrooms, which we will also be shared.
There is a private garden and a swimming pool for your use. There is also a room where you can do your laundry that has a washing machine and tumble dryer.
All bed linen and bath towels are provided. Please bring your own swimming towel.
Meals
Continental breakfasts and dinners are included in our tour price. The dinners are prepared for us by French cooks.
Lunches are for your own account. It is recommended that you budget between €15 to €30 for your lunch, drinks and snacks per day, depending on your requirements.
Preparing for the Tour
We will be doing lots of walking and some of the time up steep inclines. It is best to shape up should you not be used to this kind of walking. Many trails are uneven footpaths used for centuries, unlike the cut trails by a parks service.
The longest we may possibly walk in a day is approximately four miles (8 kilometres). This of course will depend on the group’s desires. There will be walking sticks available for use.
What to Expect
French country living is casual dress, even for dinner out. Expect a variety of temperatures and conditions in spring, summer and autumn. Count on some cloudy, rainy days. This will require us to schedule some excursions around the weather, as lower elevations closer to the coast are easier to visit on rainy days.
