Marrow Sanctuary

The Marrow app

MARROW is the mobile app for Marrow Sanctuary, a community led by Charon Normand-Widmer, LMSW, in Livonia, Michigan. The app is the door members use to reach the community and what is held inside it.


What the app does

It signs members in and keeps the community within reach on a phone. From there they can:

  • Read the rooms, post, and reply to other members.
  • Listen to the recorded practices and guided meditations.
  • Watch replays of past gatherings.
  • See what is coming up, and receive a notification when something begins.
  • Keep a short profile so other members know who they are talking to.

Who it is for

Marrow Sanctuary is a community for adults who want to spend time in their bodies rather than only in their heads. Members arrive from Charon's writing, her recordings, and her public teaching. Access to the community is arranged on the website, and the app opens what a member already has.

What the app is not

Charon is a licensed therapist, and inside Marrow she hosts a community rather than treating anyone. Using the app does not make you her client. Nothing in it is assessment, diagnosis, treatment, or clinical advice, and no one in the community is acting as your clinician.

The app is not watched around the clock and it is not a way to reach anyone quickly. It is not a crisis service.

If you are in danger, thinking about harming yourself, or worried that you cannot stay safe, call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, call 911, or go to the nearest emergency room.
