Welcome to my Heart Space
Fáilte ~ Welcome. My name is Brenda. I am a Priestess of the Spiral Path, dedicated to living from the heart and with the cycles of nature. Anchored in my own indigenous Irish spiritual tradition, I walk an earth-honouring path of the embodied divine feminine, living in rhythm with the magic of my menstrual cycle and the cycle of the seasons. Passionate about sharing this medicine path with others and being of service to the community, I present workshops on indigenous Irish spirituality, facilitate women’s circles, lead women’s rites of passage, and empower women to reconnect with their wombs through menstrual activism and co-hosting The Red Temple Podcast.
I have a special connection also to the Eastern spiritual traditions – traditions that set me on this path of consciousness and opened up my heart to all the gifts of life. One of my true labours of love is my spiritual travel memoir which I’m currently completing, based on my 2009 truth-seeking travels to Nepal and India. As an offering of this precious Dharma, I guide monthly meditations out under the stars in the beautiful Texas Hill Country.
I’m so happy you found your way here, and am honoured to be on this wild and wonderful journey with you! Together, by following our heart, embodying our cyclic wisdom, and restoring our connection to nature, we birth the New Earth. Is éa ~ It is so.
Le Grá ~ With Love, Brenda
And if we rise up rooted, like trees … well then, women might indeed save not only ourselves, but the world.

Consciousness
Have you ever wondered about who you truly are and why you’re really here? Questioned whether there’s more to life than what society tells you? In 2009 I gave up my life as I knew it in Ireland and ventured East to seek truth and find answers to these questions. Visit my Truth Book page to learn about the spiritual travel memoir I’m currently writing, and take a transformative soul journey through Kathmandu, the Himalayas and Calcutta! Would you like to connect with your true nature of infinite peace and unconditional love? Visit my Meditation page for my monthly meditation sessions under the stars in the Texas Hill Country, and for guidance on experiencing your own precious inner wellspring of peace and clarity. And join peacemakers around the globe to help raise the collective vibration to one of peace, love, and unity, in my World Peace Meditations page.

I feel so free and happy today. I have such deep gratitude for the courage that came out of our circle and for Brenda for bringing us together and giving me the opportunity to release my fear. You have literally changed my life. With deep gratitude.
