IT'S TIME TO GATHER AS the WOMEN WE TRULY ARE
Dear Woman,
we need each other.
The world is aching, and so many of us feel it. The old ways are crumbling, and something new is asking to be born. There is a call in our feminine hearts to stand up, to speak our truth, to break ancient patterns, and become who we are meant to be. Fierce, wild, devoted, and true. There is a collective call among us to come home to each other and to remember who we truly are.
We heal when we gather together as women. We heal when we find each other amidst the noise and chaos. We heal when we connect, share, reflect, and deepen... together.
If you dream of a community of women, a sisterhood that speaks your language, a place to call home, to release the weight you carry, and a space to rise and practice who you really are, then...
Welcome home, Sister. You are not alone.
I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A COMMUNITY LIKE this, ALTHOUGH I HAVE ALWAYS longed FOR IT.
— LAURA, MOTHER AND GRANDMA
THIS COMMUNITY SAFE SPACE AND CONTAINER THAT REMINDS ME I AM
is a
okay.

the CONCEPT
Her Sanctuary is a modern temple for women in in Portland, Oregon. We offer a Sacred Social Club designed for feminine beings to gather in deeper ways, through ceremony, circles, socials, meet-ups, and tea time. We also offer a mystery school, for women wanting a deeper path of transformation and sacred feminine study.
Not only is Her Sanctuary is a soulful space for connection, remembrance, and return. It is also a stunning gathering place for Sacred Feminine Leaders to use and to share their gifts with the Portland community.
We are a collective of mothers, daughters, grandmothers, CEOS, leaders, mystics, healers, community makers, and magic weavers. We are here for all expressions of woman. We gather because we know: we are not meant to walk this moment alone.
We gather because we know community, connection, and sacred practice is the medicine we need right now.

hi! I'm Michelle Young, ma.,
founder and visionary
I've been dreaming
about this sanctuary for a long time.
For 20 years I have been holding sacred space and building communities for women. I have a vision of women from Portland and beyond gathering together in ceremony and sisterhood. I know that when women gather with intention, when we heal our wounds, and find the courage to be our true selves, we heal the world. Her Sanctuary is a feminine spiritual community, a home for our healing hearts..
the
practice
At the heart of the Her Sanctuary Mystery School is The Practice, a sacred feminine journey and path of remembrance, and becoming. Rooted in ceremony, sisacred feminine teachings, and deep transformational work, The Practice is an immersive seasonal 9-week experience inviting women to release old identities, reconnect with their truth, and step more fully into who they are becoming.
“Michelle leads with fierce tenderness, compassion, and deep heart-knowing.”
She brings the spectrum of what it means to be a fully embodied woman into every aspect of her life and work. Her Sanctuary is an expression of the divine feminine.”
— Elsa perez dean, priestess and spiritual mentor
"This community has been deeply ingrained as a piece of my healing”
I was unsure at first, but in need of connection and community. I wanted a place to call home. Little did I know that this community would lead me back home - the home within. The home that never leaves us,
— dina varellas, yoga teacher and writer
“Michelle holds a deeply sacred and loving container.”
She knows how to build community that creates the perfect environment for healing and transformation.
— sarah jenks, priestess and teacher of the sacred feminine
Host a Gathering
Her Sanctuary is home to a growing collective of women leaders, healers, facilitators, and creatives who share their gifts within these walls. Through our Temple Keeper program, we offer a limited number of opportunities for aligned practitioners to bring their own circles, workshops, ceremonies, and gatherings into the space.
The sanctuary is also available to rent for private events, photoshoots, workshops, celebrations, retreats, and intimate gatherings.
Whether you are simply looking for a beautiful sacred space to host your own event, or desire support co-creating and designing a more intentional ceremonial experience, we would be honored to help bring your vision to life.
