La Pointe du Saint-Esprit: The Point of the Holy Spirit
A Women's Pilgrimage for the Feast of Mary Magdalene (and Bella's Birthday!)
Madeline Island • July 20–22
A time oto surrender and remember. A pilgrimage. A chance to step away from the noise of everyday life and return to something ancient and true.
Together, we will gather around campfires, swim in clear waters, walk forest trails, drum beneath the stars, sing, laugh, pray, rest, and remember.
We come not to escape our lives, but to return to them more fully ourselves.
Long before it became Madeline Island, this place was known as La Pointe du Saint-Esprit—The Point of the Holy Spirit.
For centuries, people have been drawn here by water, beauty, and mystery. There is something about this island that invites us to slow down, listen deeply, and remember that we belong, to the earth, to one another, and to the Divine.
Madeline Island itself carries the name of Equaysayway, a remarkable Ojibwe woman whose Christian name was Marie Madeleine. Her Ojibwe name means Traveling Woman. Through time, Madeleine became Madeline, and the island became her namesake.
How fitting that women now gather here during the Feast of Mary Magdalene.
Like Mary Magdalene and Equaysayway before us, we come as traveling women—each carrying stories, questions, joys, losses, wisdom, and hope.
