She inspires ambitious & spiritual women to live a life of JOYFUL PURPOSE in connection with creativity – with their Muse.
Her message is that:
You ARE creative – you may need to find your spark & get into the habit of creativity. Your creativity is the source of life & the seed you need to move towards your Big Dreams.
You ARE worthy/allowed/free to want MORE than where you are at — that dissatisfaction you feel is your calling nudging you forward to your next chapter. DARE to take that Big Dream seriously and take the next step TODAY.

Official Bio:
Brenda creates art that’s about connection to ourselves, and each other.
For her, Art is like faith and love, chaos and structure. There is beauty in the mess!
And if we let it, art can be an anchor of self-expression in our spaces and in our lives.
Brenda is known for her multi-layered colourful abstract paintings, and intricate typographic drawings of inspired words of life, love and faith.
With her intuitive style, love of colour and intricate details, means you’ll get artwork that continues to speak to you as you live with it.
Because art should be more than just something pretty to look at! Art can inspire you to express yourself and honour your own unfolding story.

![Co-created Ceremony
One of the joys of on-line circles for me is exploring the ways we can co-create ceremony.
In today’s Sharing Circle, those of us who could, spontaneously gathered a stone, a feather, a bowl of water and a candle. We each created a simple altar aligning earth, air, fire and water with the four directions and we then shared a simple ceremony.
To our circle altar I added a sculpted fly agaric mushroom to represent the online eco-system of our own mycelial networks of interconnection and inspiration, a ceramic butterfly to represent the transformation that takes place in circle, a silver horse to represent the Celtic Goddesses and a small copper bowl representing the strength of our relationships.
Our closing invitation was to find a guiding myth for this season. After Circle I pulled a card from my Tarot of the Divine deck (@yoshiyoshitani) which is inspired by deities, folklore and fairytales from around the world. My card was the story of Donkeyskin, a French fairytale representing being caught up in your own insecurities 😳The message was a wonderful reflection of what came up for me in Circle and an invitation to step out of those insecurities.
The Grove really is a wonderful collective of wellbeing practitioners, creatives and community organisers who are seeking authentic community and are willing to collaborate and conspire with imagination and integrity.
We are open for new co-conspirators to join us until Thursday and currently have 5-spaces available to reach our current capacity.
Leave a 🌳 in the comments or message me if you’d like full details.
With you in Circle in these (r)evolutionary times
