From The Fortress

Like all things of the Great Mystery, the fortress is paradoxical- with light and shadow sides. Since long ago, the fortress stood as a symbol of psychic wholeness, safety, and belonging. And yet, this same image evokes the Tower of tarot- the crumbling illusion of security, the protection that quietly becomes a prison.

The Hero’s Journey always returns to where it began, which, in myth, is often from a fortress of some kind. But first, there is a need to step beyond the walls of the ordinary, to take a quest into the unknown from the fortress, and return with the medicine only you can bring.

Psilocybin taught me my medicine is helping people through "the scary bits" and a dream once told me to "become your namesake." My last name means From the Fortress, which seems fitting for this soulful venture.
I hope you enjoy your explorations here—and that our paths cross soon.

More About Me
Greetings!

I'm Brenda 

This is my passion project, which is still evolving with me. I offer the insights and resources that have guided me on my healing journey and in my inner work, as well as those that have benefited the teens and women I have worked with for two decades.  I believe we are living in a crucial time in human history, and for life on this planet. By following my bliss, I aim to make a positive contribution toward personal and collective growth in consciousness, and a return to the wholeness we all had before crossing the river of forgetfulness.
