Hi from California!

I’ve been away on a sacred feminine retreat with this week. I am writing this email from my mentor’s home in California, where I have been co-leading a retreat with a group of women I have been journeying with for more than ten years.

And here is what I know to be true...

We need each other. Women need each other. We cannot walk this life alone. We are not meant to.

Right now, almost every woman I know (including myself) is standing at a threshold in her life. Something is changing. The tectonic plates of our lives are shifting.

An old way of being is no longer fitting.

A season is ending.

A child is leaving.

A relationship is ending.

A career is shifting.

Her voice and truth are finally being spoken.

And yet so often, we move through these threshold moments alone.

What I know is that when we choose to walk alone, it becomes very hard to hear our truth. Sacred sisterhood becomes a mirror. We hold the mirror up for one another so that we can see who we truly are. We are reminded of our own courage. We are reminded that we can do this, that we do know the way.

This week, in the arms of women I love, I am reminded who I really am. I am reminded that I can, and I will, and I am doing what I know I am here to do. The sacred mirror reflects back my own strength and courage.

So I invite you into the arms of a sisterhood to hold you at your threshold moment.

Next Sunday, June 7th, I will be leading Sanctuary Sunday, where we will gather inside Her Sanctuary for a morning of ceremony, reflection, connection, and sacred feminine practice devoted to the thresholds we are currently standing within in our lives.

I’d love to have you in ceremony. Comment below ME and I’ll send you details. Sanctuary Sunday is a stunning experience. If you have felt called, now is your time.

xx,
Michelle

Women have been gathering in sacred circles for thousands of years. There is something ancient within us that remembers how healing it is to come together in ceremony, in sisterhood, and in truth. 🌿

Sanctuary Sunday is a returning to those soul roots.

It is a ceremony.
A sacred pause.
A touchpoint with your soul.

A space to step away from the noise of the world, get quiet, and reconnect with yourself and with other like-hearted women.

Together, we gather in sacred feminine practice through guided meditation, ceremony, reflection, and connection. We soften. We listen inward. We remember what truly matters.

Our circles are intentionally intimate so that we can create a safe and nourishing container to go deep together.

If you’ve been longing for connection, community, or a sacred pause, we would love to welcome you into the circle.

Join us for Sanctuary Sunday on June 7th at 10am ✨

Right now, we are offering 50% off your first visit — only $27.50 to join us.

If you’re feeling the call, comment ā€œMEā€ below and I'll personally send you the details.⁠
⁠
See you at our next ceremony.⁠

With love and gratitude,⁠
Michelle

What is The Practice?

I realized many women in our community still don't fully know what The Practice actually is.

The Practice is a sacred feminine journey I developed over ten years ago, and I am bringing it now to Her Sanctuary as a deeper body of work for the woman ready for more.

It's not a class, a workshop, or a drop-in experience.

It's a transformational journey and ceremonial experience of deepening into yourself and remembering who you are.

It's for women wanting the deeper work.
The deeper sisterhood.
The deeper dive into her truth.

For women moving through change, awakening, grief, healing, transformation, and becoming.

In The Practice we gather together, week after week, throughout a season, in a small group with the same women. This is where the power is.

Unlike a one-time workshop or drop-in experience, The Practice is designed as a transformational journey that unfolds over time, building upon itself as we move through cycles of shedding, death, rebirth, and becoming.

We reconnect to ourselves beneath the noise, conditioning, roles, and expectations of the world.

Through ritual, embodiment, ceremony, archetypal work, authentic sharing, and sisterhood, we begin remembering who we truly are.

We spiral inward, releasing old versions of ourselves and finding the courage to step more fully into who we are becoming.

Through the arms of each other, we remember.

This is not personal development.
This is initiation.

Each season of The Practice becomes a threshold:
A shedding.
A remembering.
A becoming.

This summer, I am opening the doors for a six-week The PracticeĀ® Summer Series + Closing Day Retreat experience. Only 8 spots remain.
If you feel the pull toward deeper work this summer, you can explore The PracticeĀ® Summer Series via the link in bio.

Tonight we gather. ✨

For the women who feel themselves changing.
For the women standing at a threshold.
For the women craving deeper connection, softness, truth, and remembrance.

Tonight is The Practice Pop-Up Temple inside Her Sanctuary.

A sacred evening of ceremony, reflection, archetypal teachings, sisterhood, and deep connection with women walking through similar seasons of becoming.

Before tonight begins, we wanted to share a few words from women in our community about what these spaces have meant to them šŸ¤

Because this work is powerful.
And because transformation is never meant to happen alone.

✨ The Practice Pop-Up Temple
Tonight • 7pm

Women are changing right now.

You can feel it in conversations.
In relationships.
In the exhaustion of pretending.
In the desire for something deeper, softer, truer.

Many of us are standing at a threshold between who we’ve been… and who we’re becoming.

And that’s why The Practice is returning this Summer.

The Practice is a sacred feminine journey of remembrance, healing, ritual, sisterhood, and becoming.

Before enrollment opens, we’re gathering for a special evening experience:

✨ The Practice Pop-Up Temple
Thursday, May 21 at 7pm

An intimate evening of sacred feminine teachings, reflection, ceremony, and deep connection.

A doorway into the deeper work.

If your soul has been craving spaces that feel real, grounded, intentional, and transformative… we would love to welcome you in šŸ¤ā

There comes a moment when the old version of you no longer fits…
but the new version hasn’t fully arrived yet.

That in-between space can feel tender. Disorienting. Sacred.

Lately, so many women have been saying the same thing:
ā€œI feel myself changing.ā€
ā€œI can’t go back to who I was.ā€
ā€œSomething new is asking to emerge.ā€

This is the space The Practice was created for.

Not to fix yourself.
Not to become someone else.
But to remember who you already are beneath the conditioning, survival, and noise.

Maybe the reason you feel uncomfortable lately is that an old version of you is shedding.

Maybe you’re not lost.
Maybe you’re becoming.

This season inside Her Sanctuary is devoted to that becoming.

To women, remembering their voice.
Their softness.
Their truth.
Their wholeness.

Imagine this.⁠
⁠
A Friday evening. Soft lighting. A beautiful space filled with pillows and candlelight. Music playing gently in the background. A mocktail in your hand. And a circle of women, just like you, gathering for no other reason than to connect.⁠
⁠
No agenda. No pressure. No performance.⁠
⁠
Just the quiet magic that happens when we come together with open hearts and nothing to prove.⁠
⁠
⁠That's Tarot & Tonic⁠
Friday, May 15 • 7–10pm⁠
Hosted by me, Michelle Young⁠
⁠
Come unwind in the lounge at Her Sanctuary. Sip tea or a handcrafted mocktail. Listen to music. Settle into easy, heart-centered connection with other women who are also longing for exactly this—a soft place to land, a space to simply be.⁠
⁠
This is a sacred social. A simple, beautiful evening to hang, connect, and belong.⁠
⁠
No need to prepare anything. No need to know anyone. Just come as you are, and let the evening unfold.⁠
⁠
Whether you're new and curious or a familiar face in our community, you are so welcome here.⁠
⁠

⁠
I can't wait to welcome you into the circle.⁠

With love,⁠

Meet the Goddess of Gratitude.

She lives here in SE Portland, watching over us through the windows of our new space. Her hair is made of over 1,000 living plants—wild, tender, alive. And she looks right at you.

She is the view from Her Sanctuary. The first thing you see when you look outside from our ceremonial lounge. A quiet, living reminder to soften, to pause, to give thanks.

I found her on a quiet walk one afternoon, and something in me softened. I knew she belonged here.

This space is for ceremony. For lounging. For brewing tea and letting it all fall away. A feeling of sanctuary. A home. A cool place to gather.

A place to hold our tears and our fears. A place to hold a community of women aching for somewhere to belong.

Right now, it's clear we need each other more than ever. The world is heavy. And in my experience, community and deep connection are the medicine we need.

So if you're feeling the call, if something in you is whispering yes, I invite you to join us.

Get on the list to be in the know about all of our opening events, gatherings, and the many ways to step inside. Link in bio.

She's watching. And she's waiting to welcome you home.

With love and gratitude,
Michelle
