The Sanctuary by Mary Lofgren
A 12-Week Return to Sacred, Seasonal, Sensory Living
We believe in the power of the pause.
With all the distractions and pressures that life brings, slowing down to pause is a radical act.
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.
Everything in life transforms with the quality of our presence.
There are multitudes of ways to come home to ourselves: meditation, fasting, vision quests, just to name a few. Some of us crave a path to presence that glitters with beauty, sensuality, and simple pleasures.
Here, you’ll find a collection of bite-sized rituals & luxurious lessons to infuse life with wonder, one simple pleasure at a time.

Monthly Themes:
October
Infuse Your Life with Ritual, Witchery and Sensory Wonder
This month, we explore the rich power of creating a feminine sanctuary within. Through soulful rituals and unique embodied prayers, you’ll find new ways to center your mind, body and spirit, and draw from a well the sacred within.
November
Ground into Quiet Comfort
Sink into the earthy embrace of November's gifts as we cultivate a cozy haven in your living space and within yourself. Through nourishing practices for the home and heart, you’ll steep in the magic of nature's slower rhythms, and create a warm, inviting space to rest and reflect.
December
A Sacred Solstice Celebration
Celebrate the rich beauty of the year’s end and the quiet potential of new beginnings. Through soulful rituals and solstice celebrations, we embrace the dance of dark and light, honoring the wisdom of deep winter’s rest and welcoming the return of light, warmth, reflection, and connection.
What You’ll Discover in The Sanctuary:
Daily Rituals for Soulful, Sensory Living:
In The Sanctuary, we invite you into a sensual approach to life. Your senses are a gateway to the sacred, and your body is a limitless source of deep, intuitive wisdom. The rituals we practice together are designed to bring a warm radiance and a relaxed presence to your days, by shifting from constant optimization to a soft savoring of life as it unfolds, and more of your full, embodied presence in it.
Cultivating Vibrant Femininity:
In the Sanctuary, we are here to practice placing feminine values at the heart of our lives – values like intuition, creativity, wonder, embodiment, and slowing down to savor the beauty of life. In a world that devalues and deprioritizes the feminine, The Sanctuary is a place to practice shedding the layers of patriarchal pressure, and relax into an encouraging, celebratory experience of your feminine gifts, insights, and desires.
Lifting The Veil on What’s Important:
When we slow down and realign with our bodies, we peel back the layers on what truly matters. We make more room for the full depth of our hearts to north on our compass. In The Sanctuary, each slow, sensory ritual guides you back to what makes life meaningful for YOU, helping you shed layers of numbing and autopilot, and awaken new layers of embodied aliveness.
A Sumptuous Approach to Self-Growth:
In The Sanctuary, we take a unique, luxurious, abundant approach to personal development. Rather than improving ourselves, we seek to be intimate with ourselves. Rather than overcoming, we seek to acknowledge, and integrate. Just like a garden, our minds and bodies and beings need fertile soil in which to flourish. Through gentle, guided self-discovery practices and prompts, you’ll discover ways to own and embrace your full beauty, power and radiance, from root to petal.
Cultivating Your Inner Sense of Knowing:
In a world that champions putting the needs and opinions of others before our own well-being, we need places where we can re-turn to the Sanctuary our own inner knowing. The practices and techniques that we teach in The Sanctuary, offer a path back home to the flicker of knowing, and allowing that to infuse your actions with greater magnetism, wisdom and depth.

FAQ’s
-
No. Our community is mostly made up of women and femmes, but The Sanctuary is open to anyone seeking a more feminine way of being in their day to day life.
-
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 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 are sorry but we do not have a financial hardship rate available at this time.
-
You 'betcha. All live gatherings will be recorded and available in the online Sanctuary Library.
Monthly members receive a month's access to content at a time, while annual members receive access to the full library of recordings for 12 months.
-
Each month we explore a different theme, infused into your life in small spoonfuls. The Sanctuary is delivered in a three weeks on, one week off format.
The first three weeks of the month, you'll receive a Weekly Audio Charm & Ritual of Loveliness, as well as a live, 30-minute practice in the Sanctuary Spa (see the spa schedule here.)
The fourth week of the month we take a Sacred Pause, with no new content or gatherings released, to rest, digest, and make space for the next month’s delights.
(On months where there is a 5th week, we feature amazing special guests.)
-
We do not offer refunds for month to month purchases, but you can cancel anytime before the 30 day renewal mark, and you will not be charged again.
If you purchase the annual membership (yay! welcome!) and after 14 days you feel the experience is not for you, you can request a refund for your purchase amount, less a 10% processing/admin fee.
