Connect with other seekers and mystics on the individuation path. This is a study/exploration group, facilitated integration circle, and depth psychology book club. We'll meet monthly to discuss topics related to consciousness, psyche and soul. *Check out the topics I'll cover at Bend To Balance to see if we're into the same stuff.

Each month is a new topic, a suggested book to dive into, and provided reflection prompts and integration ideas. Every Third Thursday we discuss our findings and experiences. For those who want to be in touch more regularly, there is also a group connection thread.

Membership is $33/month.

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 đŸ„° đŸ€—"

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...
