The Sanctuary
A place to cultivate exquisite presence for the feminine soul
The quality of a woman’s presence shapes everything in her life.
Presence.
So simple, yet so profound.
Your quality of presence can turn a fight over the laundry into a moment of unbelievable closeness.
It can shift a chaotic dinner with your kiddos into a moment of brazen leadership.
It transforms your lunch from a boring deli sandwich into a feast for the senses.
Presence is the one thing with the power to change everything.
So why does it feel so hard to prioritize?
How would your life change if you traded urgency for intimacy?
If you ever roll your eyes at people who say “just slow down, do less, and everything will fall into place”, you’re not alone.
(I do, and I am one of those people.)
Ease is an orientation, not an arrival point.
It’s not a personality trait, or a gift that some have and others don’t.
Embodied, magnetic, radiant presence isn’t something you’re born with, it’s a skill that can be cultivated.
It is something your system can learn to hold as its baseline, like a note that brings the whole instrument into tune.
Coming alive through sensory pleasure is literally how the feminine nervous system is wired.
The feminine nervous system finds home through beauty, texture, art, and expression, not just stillness and solitude.
Feminine systems aren’t designed to rise toward a higher self, but rather to unfurl from a deeper self.
The Sanctuary is a practice community for feminine folks who want to feel alive in their bodies and at-home in themselves.
The Path of Exquisite Presence
Explore the ways The Sanctuary helps you feel more magnetic, embodied, and alive in your everyday
From bracing for the week → meeting yourself first
Around here, we do Mondays differently. Before touching a to-do list, we begin with small, simple practices (live and guided) that help you meet yourself before the world rushes in, setting the tone of your week from the inside out.
From doing it all alone → shared practices
Practice is easier, and more pleasurable, when it happens in relationship. Weekly shared practices create a sense of traveling together on a journey of cultivating exquisite presence instead of willing yourself to do a chore.
From mental spin → embodied clarity
When life gets complex, thinking harder rarely helps. Small, simple embodiment practices tap a source of wisdom and clarity that the mind simply cannot arrive at on its own. With a clearer line of communication between you and your intuition, you move through life differently, making choices that feel more grounded, responsive, and true.
From calming down → coming alive
We make sure to fill your cup, not just with peace and calm, but with sparkle, sensuality, and plenty of feminine frolic. Here, every experience is wrapped in beauty, humor, and sensory aliveness. Think color in your cheeks, appetite revived, and lit from within. You’ll love it!
“I was tired of walking through a dulled version of life.
The Sanctuary has brought my senses alive again, and I’ve reunited with parts of myself I didn’t even know I missed.”
SAMANTHA
“The Sanctuary has made my life richer, fuller, and more real.”
It is where I remember how to be in my body, to connect with my heart, and surround myself with beauty.

How The Sanctuary Flows
The Sanctuary is a flow of luxurious lessons, seasonal wisdom, and cozy gatherings.
Week after week you receive tiny invitations to presence, beauty, and pleasure. No big life renovations needed; just small windows into sensory living that create profound transformation in your life.
What’s Included
Live Practices Each Week
Each week, you’re invited to a 20-minute live Monday meditation and 30-minute mid-week movement class. These gatherings are like a trip to the spa for your feminine nervous system, blending somatic guidance with poetry, music, and creative practice. Monday at 10am PT & Wednesday at 2pm PT
Monthly Workshops in Feminine Living
Once a month, we gather for a deeper immersion in the art and craft of living as a well-tended woman, with insight, embodied practice, and practical ways to tend your body, center your mind, and cultivate exquisite attention.
Small Lessons & Weekly Rituals
Each week you receive a small guided practice to infuse exquisite beauty, femininity and presence into your life, home, and heart. Each practice is just 5-15 minutes, and guides you on a charmed path to presence, one ritual at a time.
Surprise Little Luxuries Throughout the Month
Throughout the month you’ll also receive little luxuries: inspiring audio love notes, unique playlists, quotes, and artisanal creations to bring sensory aliveness into your life, home, and heart.

Who Is The Sanctuary For?
We’ll be a great fit if:
You’re drawn to a kind of presence that’s sensual, grounded, and rooted in the body.
You feel more alive when you honor your feminine self through beauty and attention.
You’ve tried many methods and programs, but tend to jump ship when it starts to feel like more work.
You respond best to warmth, voice, and relational guidance, rather than pressure or correction.
You’re drawn to a way of learning that blends depth and practicality with humor, pleasure, and curiosity.
Short, potent practices are more your jam than long, intensive classes.

ABOUT MARY
Hello, my friend,
I’m Mary Lofgren. I’m an award-winning certified embodiment coach, a podcaster, artist, devoted godmother, and author.
For over a decade, I’ve been guiding women in body-based, feminine-centered ways of living and being.
After working with hundreds of clients over the years, there is one thing I deeply know:
When we look back on life, whether we’re 19 or 92, it’s rarely more money, or even more time, that we wish we had more of.
It’s presence.
Actually being here for our own lives.
The quality of your presence shapes the quality of your moments, which shape the arc of your entire life.
I don’t believe in shamed-based motivation or believe in creating conditions where your body can relax, your mind can quiet, and your intuition can lead you to a life that feels simple, true, meaningful, and beautiful.
Your presence is the most valuable treasure you have.
It is worth tending.
It is worth protecting.
It is worth investing in.
I’ll meet you by the rose hedges.
With love,
Mary
