COACHING, COURSES & COMMUNITY FOR SANCTUARY SEEKERS
Where Midlife Mingles with Nature's Magic
Seasonal guidance for women ready to slow down, embrace the Soft Arts of Sanctuary, and live with more soul and spaciousness.
Replenishing rhythms + sacred design + sisterhood—rooted in nature’s wisdom.
Where Midlife Mingles with Nature's Magic
in Spatial Design, Empowerment, and Spiritual Growth - All in One, All for One.
Expanding joy and space to replenish.
REPLENISH.
Rekindling the bond between your True Self and the most abundant, liberating catalyst for growth, renewal, and creativity:
the natural world and the beauty you shape within it.
NATURE.
Nurturing your nervous system and spirit through the Soft Arts of Sanctuary:
reading as ritual, flower as muse, beauty as balm, design as devotion, and nature as guide.
NURTURE.
Nourishing your days with grounding practices that invite ease, calm, and joy—
while stirring your imagination to create sacred space for your work, your wonderings, your Sanctuary Within.
NOURISH.
This is your invitation for the
Sanctuary Social Club 2025 season.
A circle where space-making becomes soul-tending—
and the soft, slow art of living brings you home to yourself.
REPLENISH
and cherish a connection between their True Self and the most abundant, liberating catalyst for growth, renewal and creativity...
NATURE.
To fill up and nurture feelings of
ease, calm, and JOY while being wildly inspired
to cultivate sacred space for their work, wonderings, and Sanctuary Within.
This is your Welcome In, Welcome Out for our 2025 season.
In a world that asks so much, and rarely pauses to replenish…
Where distractions ping, and the to-do list steals focus meant for self-care...
What if your home could be a sanctuary?
What if nature could help you reconnect with your true self?
What if each season offered not just another task
—but a serene rhythm of returning—
reuniting with what feels good, fuels good and works for the good?
Welcome in and out to the Sanctuary Social Club — a sacred space where midlife women come together to rediscover themselves, reconnect with Nature's healing and reclaim their practice and surroundings of Sanctuary.
Each month, we're replenishing with specially-curated empowering "positive distractions and soft facinations"¹ - weaving the "soft arts" of reading, tending, grounding and reflecting as soulful Sanctuary practices that may not be loud or linear, yet deeply powerful, restorative, relational, and creative — to nourish our inner worlds and deepen presence in the outer one.
¹ Kaplan, S. (1995). “The restorative benefits of nature: Toward an integrative framework.” Journal of Environmental Psychology. Researchers Stephen and Rachel Kaplan describe the power of “soft fascination”—how natural beauty gently captures our attention, calms our nervous system, and creates the conditions for clarity, memory, and healing.
AS THOUGH A DIVINE PRESCRIPTION FROM NATURE HERSELF
Intentionally tracking with each season's Sanctuary theme, we're soaking in nature's wisdom for the precious sense of Sanctuary within us.
Not just decorating our lives - we're deepening into them.
Slowing down to notice what nourishes. Softening to hear what wants to return.
We honor the rhythm of beauty as medicine for the nervous system and balm for the spirit.
We're creating a sacred, "sisters of sanctuary" study group of thoughtful women building our rhythm with self, space, and the sacred - evolving, crafting community and engaging Healing Nature for replenishing space, spirit, and self.
Because creating Sanctuary isn't a luxury; it's a necessity.
We don't heal in isolation; but in community - and with nature.
Part book club, part design study, part garden circle—always an empowerment space where we reclaim peace, beauty, and rhythm through the Soft Arts of Sanctuary.
Seasonally we’re crafting more than just prettier spaces, we're replenishing ecosystems of peace, vitality, and belonging—within and around us.
A NOTE FROM ANNIE
If you’re in midlife and feeling like the world is drowning out your inner voice…
If your space doesn’t quite hold you the way you hold everyone else…
If you’re craving connection, creativity, and calm—then welcome to the Sanctuary Social Club.
This isn’t a course.
It’s not another project for your list.
It’s a sanctuary practice, a celebration of homecoming, where we explore the Soft Arts of Sanctuary. Together, we’ll create and curate spaces that support and nurture who we are waking up and welcoming back - our True Selves.
Each month, we keep it simple, yet profound. We gather around one powerful book our treatise for the month—not just to read it, but to reflect on it. To ask what it’s here to show us about our own growth, healing, and brilliance. We'll seek this out - outside in restorative recesses syncing with the whispers of sanctuary in nature, allowing its healing to guide us.
Then—we take that insight and bring it into our spaces. Through gentle soulful design teachings I’ll show you how to translate the energy of the book and your specific take-aways into your environment… so that what you’re learning doesn’t just stay in your head—it lives in your sacred space for you.
And of course, always a flower, right? A botanical ally whose energy reflects the month’s message and Sanctuary theme reminding you to root, reflect, and reconnect with Sanctuary.
As a community of like-minded women, we’ll share, support, and make space for one another. There’s no rush, no pressure—just space to listen, to create, to heal, and to nurture your Sanctuary Within™. Because midlife is a reawakening… and a reclamation - but mostly a return.
And doing it with women who get it makes all the difference.
If this speaks to you, if your heart says “yes,” I’d love for you to join us in this very special place.
Annie has such a unique way of weaving together the elements especially flowers to help you create your magic and sense of sanctuary inside and out. I was blown away by my intuitive reading and immediately got to work on creating my space, hooked up with Flower Magic, to be a sacred space. If you want a secret weapon to reconnection, rediscovery and manifestation ... working with Annie is a must. - Sara, Business Hypnotherapist @SaraDrury

"This was about me claiming and taking up emotional and physical space for me. Giving myself permission to be present for the class work and the new community that came with this special "study".
Annie's guidance, her in depth knowledge of garden and landscape design, intuition and her magic connected all the dots for me. I’ve learned how to design for me, from within me and to continue to nurture my peace and wellbeing… and my own magic.” - Terrie, Clinical Meditation Practitioner

You are ready to have the ever-abundant feminine energy within and around you flow sweetness, clarity, calm as a restored gentle power in your life

You’ve been uncovering what’s underneath the dust and debris piled up on your intuition and gifts, being brave, claiming your worthiness, and tuning into your intuition even before it makes sense (or is popular!)
You want to fly… and bring home the respite of nature’s sanctuary magic and mystery as your fortifying muse of balance and design
Your sovereignty is no longer a novelty played with by the media or outside influences, and you are embodying the Sanctuary of Who
You are open to Nature’s nurturance and nourishment, to the threads of thought leaders, to the seeds of self discovery, uncovery, mastery all to help you evolve your health, wealth and happiness.

Thanks for asking this really good question. In short, it's up to you on how much time you invest. The schedule offers flow - like summer camp meets a spa treatment - with options and a blend of independent time with community-together time. To keep things positive and you feeling a "return" on your investment, we are intentional about how much there is "to do" and are more focused on "how does it feel". This is an experience and one that has you at the center. What's most important is for you to receive what you know you can take in that will feel joyful and inspirational.
Sanctuary Social Club members retain access to all materials released during the 6-month purchase period and terms. Replays of all live calls are available during the 6-month purchase period. Access to all materials ceases when a patron ceases payment / enrollment or at the conclusion of the 6-month period.
As long as you are an active patron of SSC you retain access to the materials. Should you decide to cancel your patronage, you will no longer have access to the library of materials or the program. See Terms and Conditions for more information.
In short, Sanctuary Social Club is non-refundable. Why? This is a private immersion into proprietary information not otherwise shared publically. Once you access the information, there's no undoing that. Being 100% sure of your enrollment is key. Send Annie any questions at Courses@RedBirdCo.io
Absolutely! SSC is a place for nature-hearted and sanctuary-curious. What you'll learn and experience in SSC is transformational and supportive to finding, creating, and cultivating a sense of sanctuary within and around you in your daily living. Not everyone needs to have a space inside or in a garden to feel this way, right? Right. Plus, this is about finding a group to experience Sanctuary with and plug into the energies and essences to grow peace, joy, and wholeness. No garden necessary (but come time, you'll want to sign up for Sanctuary Design School!).
These virtual office hours are extra - a bonus and optional - and are open to the public, recorded only for internal use (e.g., recording not available to the public), are ask-me-anything style of Q&A about design, flower magic, sanctuary, etc., and typically convene for 30 mins each month when people register in advance to hold the spot on Annie's calendar. There is an option to submit your question in advance and questions are answered on a first come/first answered basis. Come, join in, ask your questions during this optional complimentary coaching session! Registration for calls is required. Past, present, and future design and coaching clients are welcome to attend to get extra Annie support/wisdom.
SSC calls are for paid members (and honorary members) only. They are an opportunity to work through specifics/questions from our seminar series, questions about or from sanctuary design school, flower magic lounge - specific to each person’s situation (rather than generalized on AMA Open Office Hours) — submitted for coaching and guidance. These calls are also our forum for book club, community building/bonding, sharing wins, asking for support, accountability, and being in the flow(er) of maintaining the garden of you, aka "Sanctuary Within (tm)". These calls are a 1x register to get the link to all calls. Calls are recorded and a recording becomes available within 36 hours of each call. Registering for these calls is your agreement to being recorded. Please plan accordingly. These calls last approximately 60 mins and are the heart of the SSC community.
Great! Send an email to Courses@RedBirdCo.io and ask your question! Easy peasy.
