The Sanctuary
A Place to Cultivate Peace for The Feminine Soul
Slow down, live from the heart, and adorn your days in enchantment
Welcome to our cozy cottage of a community, where the tea is always hot, the conversation rich, and the dancing, furious.
The Sanctuary is where soulful women gather to quiet the noise, come home to the heart, and infuse life with enchantment.
We believe in the healing power of beauty, the spiritual power of play, and the food-for-the-soul that is feminine friendship.
We are a community of beauty seekers, enchantment keepers, and lovers of all things feminine.
From meditation to mascara, from perfume to prayer, we find the sacred in all aspects of being alive.
Welcome to a haven of feeling beautiful, connected, and inspired from the inside out.
The Feminine Path To Peace and Presence
You meditate, go to yoga, take deep breaths, even go on retreats.
But even with all that effort, you still yearn for something more.
Feminine systems speak a different language when it comes to finding our center.
Most traditional presence practices were designed for and by masculine systems—systems that thrive in stillness, structure, solitude, and discipline.
But the feminine thrives by merging with life through the senses, not detaching from them.
We find our sense of center through dance, art, and expression, not just sitting still.
Do you feel the kiss of the sacred through the smell of a beautiful perfume, or the touch of cashmere against your skin?
Is your soul renewed by fabulous outfits, long chats with girlfriends, and fragrant cups of tea?
If so, you are not superficial, shallow, or hedonistic.
You are a soul that walks a sensory path to peace and presence, and The Sanctuary is where you belong.
Nurture your peace and your whole life will bloom.
Women need a connection to peace like dry soil needs rain.
Pausing to breathe-in the beauty of connection.
Pausing to be tender.
Pausing to listen to our inner voice.
Pausing to consider what we really think and feel, instead of what everybody else thinks and feels.
Pausing to rest and digest before we take in more.
There is great magic in the sacred pause.
In a world that feels louder and more
chaotic than ever
Finding a sanctuary within yourself isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity. With endless distractions pulling at our attention, it’s easy to forget who we are, what matters most, and what brings true meaning to our lives.
We all have moments when the rush of life pulls us away from our center.
Yet there’s a deep call to return—to a life that honors the sacred rhythms of your body, aligns with the enchantment of the seasons, and embraces the joy of the beauty all around us. This isn’t about trying harder or doing more—it’s about receiving the support you need to center your mind, nourish your spirit, and reconnect with the delights of your body, everyday
The Sanctuary is your haven—a unique garden of tools, mentorship, support and community, offering you simple practices to slow down, soften, and harmonize with your feminine magic. When you tend to the sanctuary within, it ripples out into every aspect of your life.
By changing your energy, you change everything.
It is a place where I remember to breathe, to be in my body, to connect with my heart, and surround myself with beauty.

I came to The Sanctuary tired of walking through a dulled version of life. I found a secret garden of delight for my inner child, and my senses have woken up.

Sacred Pause (Week Four of Each Month)
The final week of each month, we press pause. There’s no new content, only a love note inviting you to slow down, digest, and integrate.
We spotlight the month’s key takeaways and help you settle into the month past, and open up to a new month ahead. -
We think of growth and mental health like a house: therapy provides the foundation for a safe and steady space, personal growth provides the furnishings.
The safety and well being of our community members is our top priority. Mindfulness can be supportive, and it can also be triggering when there is active trauma on board. Personal growth containers are not a substitute for therapy, and can sometimes distract from the very important foundational work of therapeutic healing.
Therefore, if you are experiencing a time of instability, serious depression and/or anxiety, or are actively recovering from serious trauma or PTSD, we gently suggest that you not join the Sanctuary until you feel you are in a place of stability.
Mary is a certified Feminine Embodiment Coach, which is a trauma sensitive method of coaching. It is not, however, trauma centric, and is not indicated for the direct healing or resolution of trauma.
We wish you and all humans grace and support on the journey of healing. If you have any questions on this or any of our policies, please reach out to hello@marylofgren.com

A Love Note From My Heart To Yours
Dear One,
For the first half of my life, I was tangled in the same story so many women carry:
That presence and pleasure are a frivolous waste of time.
That there are more important things to focus on than the miracle of our own aliveness.
But what could be more important than knowing who we are, what delights us, and how we can ripple that radiance through our lives and into the world?
Looking back, every time I abandoned myself in the name of doing, achieving, and perfecting, I distanced myself from the most precious gift I have:
The power of my presence.
Since before we are even born, the world tells women what we’re here for, who we’re meant to serve, and how grateful we should be, even when it deadens the very spark of who we are.
So we numb out, we silence our body’s whispers, bury our intuition, and deny the parts of ourselves that feel the most true and real.
Coming To Your Senses means waking up the sleeping self who learned to numb in order to survive, and inviting her to feel again, to speak again, to come back to life.
The things your heart truly loves are breadcrumbs back to you.
Come fill the garden of your days with color, fragrance, beauty, and presence again, one feminine practice at a time.
Patting the seat next to me on the garden bench,
Mary
Your presence is the most interesting thing about you.
Come infuse your life with the richness, radiance, and magnetism of feminine presence.
