A membership for feminine beings seeking a body-based approach to spiritual practice
Inspiring classes, guided practices, and weekly rituals that awaken the body to illuminate the soul
Hello beautiful soul.
Do you ever find traditional spiritual practices to be too rigid and too heady?
Do you long for a connection to the sacred that begins in your body, not beyond it?
Do you ache for a spiritual path that includes lipstick, laughter, and long baths, as much as meditation?
Then you are in exactly the right place.
“For feminine folks, the body an obstacle on the spiritual path…the body is the spiritual path.
MARY LOFGREN, SANCTUARY CREATOR
Feminine beings come home to the sacred, not through rising above the body, but by sinking more deeply into it.
We find center not only meditation halls and monasteries, but in redwood forests, art museums, and even nail salons.
Our spiritual teachers are as likely to be a jazz singer as they are to be a saint.
Our prayers are whispered through our first sip of morning coffee…
The spritz of our favorite perfume..
The flush of a great workout….
The flesh of a lover’s arms. ..
We are wired for deep connection to life through the senses.
This connection with our bodies is an immeasurable superpower. If we can slow down enough to sense it.
And sometimes, to slow down, you need support.
If being “in your feminine” on a daily basis currently feels impossible…
If long hours of stillness and silence have only made you feel more frozen…
If you feel so stuck in masculine mode that even lighting a candle feels like work…
It’s time for a Sanctuary that can feed your body and soul.
The Sanctuary is a community that takes a feminine, sensual approach to presence and spiritual practice.

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 were a frivolous waste of time, that there were more real and important things to focus on.
But what could be more important than knowing who we are and what delights us?
Every time I abandoned myself in the name of doing, achieving and perfecting, I distanced myself from the only real, valuable contribution I have: the power of my presence.
Since before we are even born, the world tells feminine beings what we’re here for, who we’re meant to serve, what roles we should play, and how grateful we should be for it, even if it deadens the very spark of who we are and what we want.
It’s time for us to come to our senses. Literally.
What I’ve come to know, and what I want you to know, is this:
The things your heart truly loves are breadcrumbs back to YOU.
Come fill the garden of your days beauty, color, fragrance, and the most beautiful gift of all, your presence.
Gently patting the seat next to me,
Mary
Your presence is the most interesting thing about you.
Come infuse your life with the richness, radiance, and mangetism of feminine presence.
