Come To Your Senses with Mary Lofgren

What do crispy roast chicken, September sunshine, your sleep schedule, and not knowing your tush from a pineapple have to do with sensual living? Quite a lot, it turns out.
In this episode, Mary explores seasonal living as sensual living—and how a disconnection from time's natural rhythms can leave even the most capable among us struggling with the most ordinary aspects of being human.
From following seven minutes of sunlight through Manhattan to savoring the last summer squash of the season, this episode is an invitation to let the changing light, food, and weather bring you back into your body, and back to life.
You'll also hear a little love note to autumn, with inspiration to brew the chai, get out the craft bin, and let life love you through your senses. 
🍂 Join us at The Art of Keeping Time - Saturday, September 19th to feel less like time is flying by and more like life is sinking in through exploring the seasons and the senses. 
🌸 Download The Little Book of Tiny Delights — a whimsical collection of tiny pleasures, beautiful ideas, and everyday curiosities.

In this episode, Mary shares three ways to slow down your September through sensory experiences. You'll learn how to relate to time as a wheel rather than a straight line, savor the firsts and lasts of the changing season, and create seasonal anchors through simple pleasures.
From the last peach of summer to the first chilly evening of fall, this is an invitation to experience time through your body, not just your calendar. 
You'll also hear about Mary's new, free salon: The Art of Keeping Time — a seasonal living workshop exploring how to make life feel less like it’s flying by and more like it’s sinking in through your senses.

Have you ever gone through a life transition you thought would last forever? 
And during said transition, did you bury yourself in tubs of cool whip and binge watches? Sleep through your alarm daily? And then, did you terrorize yourself for not taking better care of yourself? 
I relate. 
As I approach two years after making a big move from east coast to west, I'm finally getting my spark back. I feel an aliveness reemerging I wasn't even aware was gone.
And today's episode, I'm spilling the California raisins on what's been helping me come back into my body, and come back to life. 
What Cool Whip, a meat stick, and self-compassion have in common 
When gentleness is medicine, and when it's not
What happened when I asked Love to look at my to-do list 
Washi tape, fig jam, tiny collages—and my growing theory about bringing meaning to life
How I've learned to take life more lightly, and delight more seriously
