Golden Shadow Club

A monthly circle for seekers and mystics on the individuation path.

The Golden Shadow Club is part depth psychology book club, part study group, part facilitated integration circle. Each month we explore a new theme in consciousness, psyche, and soul, and we bring what we find back to the circle.

What you'll receive each month:

  • A new topic to explore
  • A suggested book to dive into
  • Reflection prompts and integration ideas to help you live what you're learning

When we meet: Every third Thursday, we gather to share our discoveries and experiences. If you'd like more regular connection, there's also a members' group thread to keep the conversation going between gatherings.

Membership: $33/month

Not sure if it's your kind of thing? Check out the topics I'm covering at Bend To Balance to see if we're into the same stuff.

Connect with Self & Others on a Deeper Level

Sadie

"From the moment I experienced Brenda as a facilitator I knew she was a fantastic leader. Her depth of knowledge, connection to other resources and talent for creating a container in which spiritual processes can unfold is unmatched. I wholeheartedly recommend working with her."

Lisa

"...Brenda has the gift of making each person feel that what they have to offer the world is important. She inspired amazing conversation and picked an incredible book! If you're thinking about it, just do it!"

Kristianne

"So grateful, inspired, affirming... Thank you from my soul & bones for creating & facilitating the group 🥰 🤗"

Stevie

"A therapist recommended this book to me years ago and I'm so glad I got to engage with it in this format with Brenda. The content of this book is transformative but I found the integration was greatly enhanced by Brenda's reading of the chapters, the reflections she poses, and the collectivistic support- I found much personal growth and empowerment through Brenda's work and facilitation..."

Maria

"...helping me to reflect on the messages, and see other viewpoints has been a fantastic experience. The weekly meetups and facilitation led by Brenda is what truly made the impact. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to connect deeper to themselves and with others..."

Vicki

"Brenda is extremely dedicated to fostering good connection and communication.. helping it become more than a book club and more of a place where we are helping one another evolve and learn."

Julie

...[Brenda's] ability to raise provocative, thought-provoking questions for contemplation sparks meaningful discussions that resonate long after our gatherings...[this] has been a transformative journey; it's a space where I feel seen, heard, and inspired to grow. I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking connection...
