About The Women's Sanctuary

Arlia Hoffman

Joy, peace, love...these are our birthrights. But it can be hard to find them, and sometimes they seem to be missing entirely. 

Looking for them doesn't really work..."working" for them rarely does. Sometimes it seems to happen by accident.  Working on joy? Looking for love? All the wrong places, baby. So then what works?


They come to us when we stop "trying".  It takes a different kind of looking. The work is inside. Then...joy, peace and even love can fill the moments. 

And many of us need help with figuring this out because we haven't been taught how. We all are ready for new roadmaps to figure out life and feel better.

 


 

As if you were standing in the presence of ancient Redwoods or in awe of the ocean waves, The Women's Sanctuary is a sacred oasis, a place to nurture the holy inner life as well as sacred connections with others.

Whether in Women's Temple practice, in private sessions, or in group events, The Women's Sanctuary provides support, wisdom, and solace for the body and spirit.

Podcast appearances by Arlia

The WitchHunt Podcast with Alexandra Hughes

Welcome to episode 24 of the WitchHunt podcast, featuring an incredibly courageous and beautiful soul, Arlia Hoffman. In this episode, Arlia shares with us the tender and inspiring story of how she stepped out of the perfect mom life, into a life of counter-cultural sovereignty. She tells us about her divorce, and most incredible rebirth. Rebirth into a truth that meant leaving her family and living a revolutionary life where she honored her true poly-amorous, bisexual self, role modeling self-defined sovereignty to her daughters. She tells us how she knows when she’s doing “the right thing”, the magic of body and intuitive-led micro-choices and what being monogamous to her own soul means to her. Arlia's story of bold courage is going to blow you away. And I know you’re going to love her gentle yet strong and inspiring energy. Enjoy this episode with this beautiful Priestess of Aphrodite.

The Intimate Feminine with Jacqueline Robinson

When a mid-life woman has *everything - what compels her to step outside her ‘perfect life’ to experience a deeper expression of Herself? Jacqueline felt an immediate and full-bodied soul-recognition from the moment she connected with Arlia Hoffman.

They discovered a shared embodiment of the Venus/Alphrodite archetype, and time would reveal that Jaqueline was on the cusp of the same taboo portal of feminine awakening that Arlia had experienced years prior.

 

Together these two women would continue sharing the journey of awakening as soul sisters, each activating energetics of Priestess/Lover deeply embedded in the biological and soul DNA of every woman encoded with a Scarlet Lineage.
