A Note from the Founder

Hello, I’m Liz, and I’m so grateful you’re here.

The Alma Sanctuary grew from my own sadhana—my lived practice rooted in creating beauty, presence, and meaning in everyday life. I have long felt called to bring people together in joy and gratitude, crafting experiences that nourish the body, heart, and spirit. Whether I’m preparing a meal, guiding a ritual, or curating a space, I am devoted to creating environments that feel intentional, warm, and alive. Alma became the vessel through which this work could be shared—where gathering itself becomes sacred.

Life has a way of filling every moment, leaving little room to simply be. Through seasons of deep devotion to my family and home, I’ve learned how transformative it can be to create intentional spaces—moments of presence, clarity, and quiet connection. Alma was born from this understanding, as a place to step away from constant outward demands and return to the depth, potential, and aliveness that already exist within us.

Our experiences are not merely retreats and workshops; they are vessels for transformation. Through intentional space, ritual, nourishment, and reflection, each gathering is designed to awaken your innate potential and support you in embodying your highest self. Alma is for those who seek grounding, clarity, and renewal—who are ready to move through life with greater presence, alignment, and authenticity.

Thank you for trusting Alma with your time, energy, and presence. It is an honor to walk alongside you, even for a few days, as you reconnect, realign, and step more fully into yourself.

In love and gratitude,
Liz McLaughlin
Founder, The Alma Sanctuary
