Welcome Home.
Hi! I'm Lis.
I'm so glad you've found your way here.
I’m Lis Rinella—mother, creator, architect of sacred space, and lifelong student of what it means to truly come home.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been chasing one thing: the frequency of home. Not just a physical place, but a felt sense of belonging—to myself, to my family, to the divine rhythm that lives inside every ordinary moment. I believe our souls came here to remember that feeling, and to rebuild a world that reflects it.
“Our Lady of Love asks you to build a HOME—a sanctuary from the ills of the world, where all can feel welcomed and loved.”
—The Divine Mother
This is the directive that guides every branch of my work. It’s the prayer at the center of my home, the whisper that reminds me daily why I create.
The House That Mama Runs
The House That Mama Runs is more than a home—it’s a living vision.
It’s the meeting place between heaven and the handmade; a sanctuary where food, family, and faith in something greater weave back together. What began as a single kitchen table and a dream has become a growing ecosystem of branches: Mama’s Market, Aligned Designs, the Virtual Sanctuary & Soul School, and the restoration of our 1875 home into a modern-day hearth for the new earth.
Each branch carries the same seed: to bring people back to themselves through the ordinary holiness of daily life.
The Mother Archetype
At the heart of everything I do is the Mother—the archetype of nurture, creation, and fierce love.
I’ve spent this lifetime devoted to embodying her essence: to feed, restore, and remind others (and myself) that love is not an abstract concept. It’s soup simmering on the stove, hands in the soil, light in the window, stories shared over bread and tea.
Through her, I’ve come to understand that building a home is sacred work—and that every meal, every design, every word can become an act of prayer.
Communal & Multigenerational Living
I believe the future of humanity looks a lot like the past—people living together again in love-centered communities, growing food, raising children, caring for elders, and remembering that we belong to one another.
Our home is the experiment, the living laboratory for this remembering. Through it, I hope to model what’s possible when families, friends, and neighbors begin building sanctuary over structure—a way of life rooted in care, creativity, and communion.
The Frequency of Home
I’ve learned that joy is sacred instruction.
To betray what lights me up would be to betray Source itself. My work—whether baking, designing, writing, or mothering—isn’t a job or even a mission; it’s an act of devotion.
The House That Mama Runs is how I pray: through beauty, through nourishment, through story.
The Bigger Vision
We are the architects of our realities. Each of us holds the blueprint of a new world inside our bones and breath.
My hope is that this space reminds you of that truth—that your joy matters, your home matters, your becoming matters.
Because when we live in alignment with love, we don’t just change our lives.
We remember who we are.
Welcome home.
