“Peace be upon you, spiritual seeker.” These words greet you when you step into the world of Catherine Tiferet Levi, a spiritual leader whose mission transcends the ordinary to touch the divine. Nestled in the sacred city of Migdal, on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, Catherine’s life is a testament to the power of transformation, healing, and deep spiritual connection.
Catherine Tiferet’s journey began in the chaos of a broken home filled with violence, addiction, and self-destruction. Yet, from this darkness, her light began to emerge as the ancient call to enlightenment led her across the world, from the bustling streets of Jerusalem to the quiet meditation halls of India, and the sacred deserts of Sinai. Along the way, Catherine Tiferet encountered teachings and revelations that reshaped her understanding of the world and her mission within it.
Her work as a healer, teacher, and spiritual guide would eventually lead her to the discovery of the Essene teachings, an ancient tradition that honors the sacred balance of the divine feminine and masculine, peace, and the spiritual path of Christ. This discovery was revealed to her under extraordinary circumstances while living on Mount Carmel in Israel. A stranger, out of the blue, told her that she was Essene. At the time, she had never heard of this mystical sect, but she would soon find that their teachings, especially those surrounding Mary Magdalene and Yashua (Jesus), would be key to understanding her true calling.
The Essene way, and the spiritual practices of Mary Magdalene, resonated deeply with Catherine Tiferet’s soul, guiding her to create the School of Enlightenment, a place where women from around the world could reconnect with their divine essence, heal, and empower themselves to embrace their unique spiritual gifts.
Catherine Tiferet’s Journey: From Struggle to Spiritual Awakening
Catherine Tiferet’s path to spiritual awakening was not immediate but unfolded gradually through deep suffering and profound realizations. At the age of 19, after a series of unsettling dreams, Catherine Tiferet made the life-changing decision to leave her troubled home life in Australia behind. She moved to the Middle East in search of answers, a decision that would alter her life forever.
Yet, even in the Middle East, peace seemed elusive. After witnessing the violence of war firsthand, Catherine Tiferet turned inward, realizing that true peace must begin within. She immersed herself in yoga, meditation, and healing practices, determined to heal not only herself but also the world around her.
Her spiritual path led her to India, where she studied under living masters of the Kriya Yoga lineage, and eventually to Egypt, where she trained in ancient healing methods. Throughout her travels, she came to understand that her mission was much greater than personal healing, it was about spreading peace, unity, and spiritual awakening to others.
A Divine Calling: Embracing the Wisdom of Many Traditions
It wasn’t until Catherine Tiferet met with a Nadi Leaf Master in India that her true spiritual lineage was revealed. She was told that she was a disciple of the Himalayan Master Babaji, a revered figure in Eastern spiritual traditions. Catherine Tiferet was also informed that she would attain Moksha in this life, the liberation from the cycle of reincarnation.
However, it was in the mystical city of Tsfat, Israel, where the most profound revelation came. There, a Master of Kabbalah revealed to her that she was a high priestess and prophetess – roles she takes seriously. This master continues to guide her until today and teaches her the secrets of Kabbalah and their relevance for these prophetic times as she steps into her role as a spiritual leader.
The Essene Path: A Journey Toward Peace and Spiritual Awakening
Soon after it was revealed to Catherine Tiferet on Mt Carmel that she was an Essene, she encountered the greatest discovery of her life; The Holy Megillah: The Nasarean Bible of the Essene Way – an ancient Hebrew scroll translated into English by the High Priest Brother Day in Oregon. These teachings detail an alternative version of the bible based on non-violence, vegetarianism, a system of Yoga based on the Tree of Life and angels and the belief in both a God and Goddess – personified in the Lord Christ and Lady Christ. While Catherine has lived and studied the Essene way for over a decade, the teachings were only released to the public in 2024. She teaches on this topic freely, since it is part of the Essene way to do so without compensation. According to their tradition, Yashua (Jesus) and Miriam of Magdala (Mary Magdalene) represented the dual forces of the divine, working together to guide humanity toward spiritual awakening. And it is prophesied that once the teachings of the Holy Megillah are spread through this resurrected scripture, they too will return to guide humanity to a higher wisdom.
The Essenes believed that in order to bring peace to the world, individuals must first attain inner peace through spiritual practices and a connection with the divine. Little is known of them for they were always such small numbers, due to persecution as well as their radical and highly spiritual way of living. However, the time has now come for their teachings and message and truth of Mary Magdalene to go forth once again into the world. The question is – is humanity ready to receive their saving teachings?
The Essene philosophy became the foundation of Catherine’s work at the School of Enlightenment, where she mentors women who are seeking to awaken their spiritual gifts. Through her teachings, women learn to embody the essence of Mary Magdalene, reclaiming their inner power and embracing their roles as spiritual leaders and healers.
Empowering Women for a New Earth
Catherine’s work is based on the belief that the future of the Earth lies in the hands of women, specifically those who are called to step into their roles as spiritual leaders and healers. She teaches women to connect with their divine essence, heal themselves, and bring their unique gifts to the world. This is part of the greater shift toward the New Earth, a term Catherine uses to describe the coming era of peace, unity, and spiritual awakening that the world is entering.
As a spiritual guide, Catherine integrates the ancient wisdom of the Essenes with modern spiritual practices, offering a roadmap for women to live empowered, enlightened, and purpose-driven lives. Through yoga, meditation, and healing practices, Catherine helps women reconnect with their true selves and step into the fullness of their divine purpose.
Honoring Mary Magdalene: A Vision for the Future
As we honor Mary Magdalene on her feast day, Catherine’s work continues to celebrate the legacy of this powerful figure. By teaching the ancient Essene way, Catherine helps women embrace the wisdom and teachings of Mary Magdalene, often misrepresented in mainstream narratives.
Mary Magdalene, as a central figure in the Essene tradition, represents the divine feminine—an energy of healing, wisdom, and transformation. For Catherine, Mary Magdalene’s essence remains alive and well, guiding women to awaken their spiritual power and embrace their sacred roles in the world.
Today, Catherine’s School of Enlightenment serves as a beacon of hope and transformation for women worldwide. Through her mentorship, she is helping to build a new generation of spiritual leaders who will carry the flame of Mary Magdalene’s teachings into the future.
