All around you, enchantment is whirring and stirring.

The books stacked at your bedside, the lemon on your kitchen counter, the coat rack that holds your comings and goings—all dwellings of the holy, prayers in plain sight.

My experience of enchantment is that it is less an escape into fantasy and more a deepening of intimacy.

This is why I'm so excited to gather and bring you a free new workshop:

• The Everyday Enchantress
• A free workshop to bring more magic and meaning into your days, awaken intuition, and make wonder a way of life.
• Wednesday October 29th at 6pm ET / 3pm PT

It’s my birthday! Today I turn 45.

44 was a big year. 

I moved across the country.  (Image I is on one of my cherished walks through the California hills, close to where I live in the Bay Area.) 

The Sanctuary celebrated its first birthday! 

There have been new friends, new challenges, new adventures.

I am so very grateful for our connection.  It's so meaningful to know that there are folks out there every day reading my emails and listening to the pod. 

I am truly humbled to share my art with the world, in this way.  Thank you. 

For my birthday this year, it's my deep wish to draw more folks, just like you, to the heartbeat of my work—the podcast.

In lieu of cupcakes and candles, would you be so kind as to leave a written review, offer a five star rating, or simply share the pod with a friend, if it feels authentic for you?

Thank you, thank you, thank you.  

With 45 candles of joy, 

Mary

Have you ever noticed how, when you’re bone tired or overstimulated, your mind craves something extravagant, like a two-hour massage, a pint of ice cream, or a week in Italy? And yet, what the body often longs for is something more simple. Something nourishing that doesn’t intensify, but simply satisfies. 

Welcome to the art of being satisfied.  In this episode I’ll show you how to recognize when your nervous system has slipped beyond its natural boundaries, and how to return to the fertile ground of enoughness. We’ll explore mind, body, sensory, and spirit based practices that invite you into a deeper intimacy with your personal sweet spot of satisfaction.

Pull up a pouf and join me for this exploration of what it means to live in the radiance of enough.

"The world is full of magic, silently waiting for our senses to grow sharper." W.B. Yeats.  There is certain sweetness in surrendering to a sofa, drizzled in a patch of afternoon light. Lounging is the art of striking up a romance with time itself. In this episode, we’ll wander through the pleasures of the lounge, how to not get bored and revert to scrolling when you lounge, cultivate a dreamy state of embodied relaxation, and let the art of lounging wrap around you like silk. Hit play and let's lounge!
