The Grail Mysteries in Provence:
So join us as we explore, on the ground, the locations and images of
the true history of the Grail, from the Grail Castle of Les Baux
to St. Trophime's hermitages and the Alyscamp, the most renowned
of medieval burial grounds to the quarries of Glanum and the standing
stone of Da Vinci's Virgin in the Rocks, from the gypsies of
Ste. Maries-de-le-Mer to the rugged grottoes of the Magdalene,
and of course, the lost city of Glanum Livii and its nympheum, center
point of Provence's accidental pentagram. As we visit and explore the
sites connected to this hidden history, we can begin to piece together
a glimpse of the true origins of the Grail Mythos.
Gypsy Pilgrimage Saintes Maries de la Mer, France
A special feature of our retreat: Each year, thousands of locals, gypsies, pilgrims and tourists travel to the picturesque seaside town of Saintes Marie de la Mer to participate or witness this incredible Gypsy Pilgrimage. It is held in honour of Sara the Black or Black Sarah, the patron Saint of Gypsies and the three Marys - Mary Magdelene, Mary Jacob and Mary Salome - which give the place its name as the 'Marys of the Sea'. The pilgrimage includes an impassioned all-night vigil and a procession leading a statue of Sara down to the sea where she is ritually washed in the cleansing waters. Like all good gatherings, the event is accompanied by music, dancing and feasting. During the celebrations the town swells in size as over 10,000 gypsies and worshippers from all over the world flock to participate in this age-old ritual.
A unique tour and retreat event based on the latest
research, presented here for the first time, by internationally known Nostradamus
authority Vincent Bridges, connecting Nostradamus' prophecies
with Leonardo Da Vinci's most heretical art and providing
clues to Provence's ancient, almost forgotten, variety of early Christianity.
It was this alternative form of Christianity that provided the historical
and spiritual underpinning of the original Grail legends.
For those serious students of the Knights Templar, early Christianity, the Holy blood, Holy Grail, the Da Vinci code and the Prieure de Sion and the hidden secrets of the Berenger Sauniere Parchments, the mysteries of Rennes-le-Chateau (where our study retreat was located for the last 4 years), The Grail, the Ark, the Emerald Tablet, The Merovingian Royal Blood line of Europe, the blood line of King Arthur, Sacred Geometry and meanings of the landscape, the secrets of alchemy and the philosophers stone, Nostradamus, John Dee, Shakespeare and the secret identity of Edward Kelley, Freemasons and the The Occult Roots of Christianity, The Cross of Lorraine, Hiram-King of Tyre, the Temple of Solomon, world mythology, Judeo-Christian scriptures and a bold reinterpretation of the story of human civilization - the DNA galactic connections- the story told by experts Dan Winter and Vincent Bridges at our retreat.
This epic retelling of the real history of Earth has become
a growing hallmark of the advanced courses within the Sacred Geometry
and Feng Shui Seminars world tours.
Or you might just wish to come for the French food and countryside!
Due to the popularity of the Da Vinci Code, the subject of Mary Magdalene
has been covered in Time Magazine, Newsweek, on The History Channel,
the Learning Channel and in specials aired on major TV networks.

Discovering the True History of the Grail and the Sacred Geometry
of Provence
St. Remy and Les Baux - Nostradamus, Da Vinci and the Secret
A Word From Vincent
This trip began for me 40+ years ago when I read Wolfram's Parsival in high school and realized that the whole Disney fairy tale world of the miraculous Grail might just be true somehow. The quest to uncover the story I sensed beneath the pageantry of the Grail Romances made me a historian, instead of an English teacher, and has kept me on the outskirts of Chapel Perilous, where the Siege Perilous sits in wait for the Perfect Knight, for my entire adult life. And, while I am far from a Perfect Knight, I have done my small part to map out the terrain of the wasteland and the road to the Holy Mountain of Montsalvasch.
Along the way, as my Quest connected me to places I never dreamed
were involved, I learned an important fact: nothing is better
than seeing history on the ground and close up. That's the
way discoveries are made, from a personal ground level approach. And
that's what I would like to share with you on this very special pilgrimage
and quest, an up close and personal on the ground look at the true
history of Grail as it developed in Provence.
We literally walk through thousands of years of history, from ancient Greece and Rome to the late 19th century of Van Gough, guided along our way by the master of time himself, Michel de Nostradamus, who was born in St. Remy and grew up in the shadows of the antiques at Glanum, wandered throughout Europe and then settled in Salon-de-Provence just the other side of the Alpilles to write his famous prophecies. And it is this unique juncture of Nostradamus' prophecies and the heretical work of Leonardo Da Vinci that eventually led me to the key discovery behind the true history of the Grail.
On this trip we will lucky enough to stay at a beautifully restored chateau from the early 18th century on the farm once owned by Nostradamus' brother Bertrand. The Chateau de Roussan is a real treasure, a glimpse back to an earlier time and a direct way to connect with local history.
There might even be a ghost or two wandering the halls. In St. Remy, we will examine the places where Nostradamus was born and grew up, allowing us to absorb something of the very atmosphere of this very special place and its most famous native son. And along with Nostradamus, we will follow the trails left by Van Gough and Da Vinci, and delve into the secrets of an almost forgotten alternative form of Christianity.
At the center of this hidden history of early Christianity is the family circle of the three Marys, their brother and nephew Lazarus and the curious New Testament saint known as The Triumph. All of this information, and much more - including St. Maurice and the Theban Legion, connections and clues from Rennes-le-Chateau, Good King Rene's Grail quests and Frederick Barbarossa's coronation in Arles, Gypsy Guardians and Grail Processions - came be found in my new book, The Grail Mysteries of Provence: Discovering the True History of the Grail, available from Inner Traditions in the spring of 2011.
So join us as we explore, on the ground, the locations and images of the true history of the Grail, from the Grail Castle of Les Baux to St. Trophime's hermitages and the Alyscamp, the most renowned of medieval burial grounds to the quarries of Glanum and the standing stone of Da Vinci's Virgin in the Rocks, from the gypsies of Ste. Maries-de-le-Mer to the rugged grottoes of the Magdalene, and of course, the lost city of Glanum Livii and its nympheum, center point of Provence's accidental pentagram. As we visit and explore the sites connected to this hidden history, we can begin to piece together a glimpse of the true origins of the Grail Mythos.
Some other topics Vincent will cover at the retreat
• Who is John Dee ?
• The Enochian and Ophanim Angelic Language
• Shakespeare's Secret Identity Revealed
• The Ophanic Language and Sacred Geometry
• The real meaning of 2012-what really is 2012 ?
A note from Dan Winter
-for serious students of alchemy- and for seekers of truth... for those ready to do the "Work"...
Vincent discovered what dramatically is 5-sided magnetic line geometry being key to the function of St Remy- the trigger site of Nostredamus's work. We are excited about exploring this in the upcoming tour in MAY.
This is also the geometry around the tower of the famous alchemist John Dee used to make gold in the south of Prague, recently discovered in our last Prague retreat in 2009 called the "Alchemy of Prague"
I will explain the "phase conjugate" magnetic nature of
how THAT geometry made the plasma field for Nostredamus to be able
to "scry" projectively into the future. This was also essential
to the Alchemy of Dee and Kelly- just as it as key to building a successful
Necropolis- city of the dead - at Rennes le Chateau (Holy Blood
Holy Grail, the Da Vinic Code), where for the last 4 years, our study
group has been holding a retreat, discovering much details we wish
to share with those committed to our up-coming May retreat in the search
for the HOLY GRAIL "
Some of the topics Dan Winter will cover
- The Psychology of Alchemy - the fusion of group mind- in the Shakespearean
way.
- History of Alchemy was made possible by the convergence of the
right materials and the right geomantic geometry
- Implosion, Plasma Fusion and Alchemic Science
- Black Hole Physics and the Real Science of Alchemy
