The Sanctuary
A haven for soulful women ready to soften stress, awaken intuition, and blossom into being–creating a life of beauty, radiance, and enchantment, one meaningful moment at a time.
If you’re a woman who craves a softer path to presence, a radiant relationship with beauty, and deeper connection with the wisdom of your body…
You are in exactly the right place.
Does this ever feel like you?"
You juggle a million things, but what you really crave—slowness, and ease —always seems to slip through your fingers.
You long for simplicity, yet find yourself caught up in the chaos of more, more, more.
You crave to feel at home in your body, but connecting with it always falls to the bottom of your list.
You’ve tried quick fixes and routines, but you’re craving something deeper.
You want to feel more fully alive in your body, and more present with the people you love.
You’re ready to live in deep devotion to your authentic radiance by studying what makes you come alive.
None of us are immune from life’s turning points.
Where it’s no longer an option not to listen to your inner voice.
Where you realize you’ve been giving all your energy to things, people, and places that aren’t what you truly desire.
Where staying stuck in what you know is more uncomfortable than setting out on the path you don’t.
But where do you begin?
It’s tempting to want to transform everything about your life at once.
But creating more ease, slowness and grace, is a moment by moment process.
Where it does begin is with a decision.
A decision to prioritize what makes your heart sing, whether or not it’s deemed productive.
Making this decision in your
You get to release what feels heavy.
You get to invite in what feels nourishing.
You get to craft a life woven with presence, wonder, and deep belonging.
And it all begins in The Sanctuary.
Your body is the portal to the life you long for.
Because how you feel within shapes everything you experience without. And when you soften into your body’s wisdom, you don’t just change—you blossom. ✨
Feminine nervous systems need beauty and enchantment like we need oxygen

"It’s tempting to want to transform everything about your life at once.
But creating more ease, slowness, and grace doesn’t come through a wrecking ball.
It comes through a daily decision.
A decision to release what feels heavy, and invite in what feels nourishing.
To craft a life woven with presence, wonder, and deep satisfaction—one small ritual at a time.
A decision to prioritize what makes your heart sing, regardless of its productivity.
To trust your body as the ultimate guide for your decisions.
To look to nature as your guide.
To place your hands on what’s real, instead of reaching for what’s virtual.
Because how you feel within shapes everything you experience without.
And when you stop trying to control, perfect, and change everything, something magical happens: your life begins to naturally blossom.

Meet Mary Lofgren
Creator of The Sanctuary & Enchantress In Charge
A few of my simple pleasures: DOGS!, glamour, goddesses, horses, laughter, and goddess-mothering 💅🏼
Hello Beautiful Being!
I’m Mary. I’m the creator of The Sanctuary, and I’m delighted that you are 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 vibrant community; but most of all it is a place to embrace your feminine nature, and come home to the deeper parts of yourself through pleasure, ritual, beauty and embodiment.
A little bit about me:
My career in the embodied arts spans over 20 years. I spent a dynamic decade in the spa industry, where I honed my skills in touch, aroma, and relaxation, helping others rediscover their radiance through beauty as a path to well being.
In my late 20s I discovered the art of burlesque, and went through a profound transformation. Coming from a background steeped in Catholicism, discovering sensual expression was revolutionary for me, and it transformed my relationship with my body.
In 2020, I became a certified Feminine Embodiment Coach, merging my passion for healing through embodiment with a desire to guide and empower others on their journey. I have served hundreds of clients in journeying home the wisdom, intuition, and magnetism of the body. (If you wish to learn more about my story and credentials, you can click here to read more.)
My purpose in creating The Sanctuary is simple: to create a place where those drawn to the warmth of the Divine Feminine can gather, be curious, and explore the meeting place between the sacred and the sumptuous.
Come join us!

We don’t offer scholarships, but we do offer a Resource Redistribution Rate for those who identify as BIPOC, Gender Variant, Sexy Sage (Over the age of 65), Folks with Disabilities, or Single Parent. We also offer this rate to those who live in countries where there is a -3.0 or more difference in the exchange of currency to USD.
Offering this rate is an effort towards the redistribution of resources to those don't experience the same level of privilege as folks who are white, cisgender, able bodied, heteronormative, etc.

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.
If you are in a recovery process, we may ask for a note from a therapist confirming that it is safe to participate in a coaching container before joining.
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@schoolofsensualliving.com.

We host our live events at different times each month so that a variety of time zones can participate. You can check out our calendar for the current season here.
