Every spiritual tradition has ways of marking liminal times—the pause between death and rebirth, ending and beginning. In this workshop, we will use the Easter story as a portal into an experiential encounter with the sacred in-between, exploring it through the eyes of three women who embody timeless feminine archetypes, the three Marys: Mary the mother, the Wombed Woman, holds her grief with the same hands that once cradled new life. Mary Magdalene, the Bone Woman, arrives first to the tomb in pre-dawn darkness—knowing how to gather what others abandon, singing life back into dry bones, unafraid of death’s threshold. Mary of Clopas (the “other Mary”), the Journey Woman, walks the path to the tomb even when the destination seems hopeless, her pilgrimage itself an act of faith. Together they embody wisdom that transcends tradition—the knowing of how to wait in the dark, trusting without demanding rebirth.
Silence is the teaching of Holy Saturday. It is the unnamed day between Good Friday and Easter Sunday— the day of enforced stillness, when the Sabbath held the women in place with their spices prepared and their hands aching to tend. So, instead of the typical practice in SoulCollage® of hearing from the archetypes themselves, we will invoke the three transpersonal cards in SoulCollage® (Source, SoulEssence, Witness). These three are the silent cards — without voice, without shadow, the Sabbath of the deck. The three Marys are the silent women — not yet at the tomb, but sitting with everything ready, waiting without knowing what they are waiting for. This workshop brings the forgotten silent ones back into living relationship with the archetypes, and reclaims silence not as repression but as sacred ground.
