Meggan Watterson

Meggan Watterson is a feminist theologian with a Master of Divinity from Union Theological Seminary at Columbia University and a master of theological studies from Harvard Divinity School. She is the author of the Wall Street Journal bestselling book Mary Magdalene Revealed: The First Apostle, Her Feminist Gospel, & The Christianity We Haven't Tried Yet. Her earlier book, REVEAL: A Sacred Manual For Getting Spiritually Naked, was published by Hay House in 2013.

\n\nShe has spent much of her life gathering stories of the Divine Feminine, from Mary Magdalene and the Black Madonna to Kali Ma and Green Tara. Before each of her two graduate degrees, she made a pilgrimage to sacred sites of the Divine Feminine in Europe, the first with a group and the second on her own. \n\nMeggan leads The House of Mary Magdalene, a spiritual community of radical love that studies scripture from the earliest forms of Christianity.

Members practice the soul-voice meditation, telling the truth about their lives, and refusing to judge themselves or each other. She also leads retreats, where participants describe her as steady, funny, wise and real. She is the mother of a son, Shai.
