The Sanctuary


BY MARY LOFGREN

A gathering place for soulful, feminine beings to soften stress, deepen intuition, and blossom into being by weaving beauty, presence and enchantment into the everyday.

Dear Future Sanctuaryette,

Welcome! I’m so delighted you found your way here. The Sanctuary is a place for soulful women who crave a soft path to presence to weave beauty and embodiment into the everyday, and reconnect with their inherent, magnetic, radiant aliveness through the body and the senses.

If that sounds like you, you are in exactly the right place.

The Sanctuary is currently closed for the season while we tend to our current members, and freshen the garden for your arrival.

But good news! We re-open for new members March 11th 2025.

Enter your email below to be the first to know when we re-open the garden gates. I can’t wait to meet you!

With love,

  • "The Sanctuary is like a secret garden of delight for my inner child."

    I’m seducing beauty back into my life, creating magic in my everyday, moving my body in ways it delights in. Allowing my intuition to speak through The Sanctuary practices has brought back pieces of myself I didn’t even know I missed.”

  • "The Sanctuary reminds me of how my nervous system can and should feel."

    “The embodiment underlying everything, Mary’s inspired way of expressing her ideas, and the thoughtfully designed sessions - it feels like a garden of understanding, wisdom and calm.”

    “The Sanctuary is like a fluffy nest where I can be deeply present. I am able to engage life with a zest I thought I had lost. If you are looking to embrace your sensual nature then I would say The Sanctuary is calling you. Take the opportunity to become the woman waiting within you.”

Meet The Sanctuary Creator, Mary Lofgren

Hello Beautiful Being!

I’m Mary. I’m delighted that you’re here—sniffing and sensing to see if The Sanctuary is right for you.

The Sanctuary is many things: a membership, a place to learn new tools and skills, a close community; but most of all it is a place to quiet the noise and come home to the deeper parts of yourself through a softer approach to presence.

The Sanctuary is unique in that it provides a path to presence that shimmers with beauty, pleasure, and delight.  

For some of us, the traditional practices of mindfulness and slowing down can feel too rigid.

This makes sense, considering that most mindfulness practices were created by and for masculine systems, which thrive in solitary practice, disciplined formats, and when pursuing a hero’s journey. 

For feminine beings this more masculinized approach to cultivating presence, quite literally, goes against our very nature.

Feminine systems thrive in community. Our superpower is relationship, and our bodies regulate through nurturance, sensory experiences and emotional connection.  

I created The Sanctuary as a haven to pursue a softer path to presence that shimmers with beauty and delight—where sensitive souls can meet the miraculous, one small moment of devotion at a time. 

I hope you’ll join us on this journey of unfolding into beauty, reclaiming your radiance, and reconnecting with the wisdom of your body in The Sanctuary.

  • "If you're looking for a place to slow down and be saturated in life's wonder, The Sanctuary is it."

    The Sanctuary is a treasure trove with endless possibilities for delight and satiation. With Mary's guidance I know that it's perfectly ok to come exactly as I am, and that there is pleasure and delight to be found in the simplest of moments. I have so much more reverence for my body and my inner wisdom - exactly as I am.

  • "With a velvet voice, Mary gives both delightful and deep suggestions for making life just a little bit richer, fuller, and real. "

    Working with Mary is a balm for the soul. Every time I log into the sanctuary or join a live gathering, I remember…to breathe, to be in my body, to connect with my heart, and surround myself with beauty. I highly recommend the Sanctuary for anyone whose daily life takes them out of their calm or away their inner knowing, who is looking for a weekly dose of remembering. Thank you Mary for a beautiful space to reconnect and live more softly.
