      <image:title>Home - Exclusive coaching from a depth psychological perspective. In these times, we need to return to our core for guidance, solace and clarity, a place where the world can finds its way back to you. As we choose to be conscious of what we want to change in the outer world, we also need to be conscious of what we want to change in our inner self, as well.  When we ignore and dismiss a personal dream, a creative desire, a family vision, a community project, a business goal, a spiritual inquiry, an environmental rescue, we choose to silence our soul. We’ve had enough of silenced souls.</image:title>

She applied her expansive knowledge of the therapeutic arts to lovingly lead me back to a sense of self-worth and trust.

      <image:title>Testimonials - She has become a valued advisor.</image:title>
      <image:caption>"Brenda and I have known each other for several years and over that time have become close friends, so my testimonial might be prejudiced, but that doesn’t make it inaccurate. When I attended the first of her seminars we’d already met, but it was really through her teaching that I came to know her. The upshot is that she has become a valued advisor, even in areas where I thought I didn’t need any advice. Her belief system might be different from mine, but she is very adept at directing me to ways I can adapt her practices to my set of beliefs. The proof of the efficacy of her teaching is in the several works I’ve done using her advice and techniques that I’m particularly proud of. Brenda is a much valued friend and teacher.” — Bruce C., Artist &amp; Author</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Brenda is a wonderfully wise, intuitive and dynamic creator, instructor and guide who exemplifies a true passion and compassion for her work and for those she works with. In weaving together her remarkable depth and breadth of knowledge and expertise with her gifts for developing and guiding creative explorations that inspire, empower and foster individual growth and connectivity, she has found her calling.  Through her restorative education programs Brenda brings together timely and timeless resources, methods and application-guidance into workshop and classroom sessions that not only educate and enlighten, but also inspire imagination and inquiry. Her grounded, engaged and thoughtful approach has a way of stretching and encouraging the natural unfolding of a process and a dialogue with the deeper dimensions of the individual and collective soul. With her natural ability to distill all that she has learned and experienced into valuable, credible and accessible tools and insights, Brenda offers her clients and students a range of approachable pathways toward broadening their knowledge, awareness and creativity, bringing themselves into greater alignment with their authentic vision and voice, and deepening their appreciation for their unique journeys.” — Shauna T., Environmentalist &amp; Social Activist.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Testimonials - A wonderful coach. Teaching me about learning to listen to myself.</image:title>
      <image:caption>"Brenda Littleton is a wonderful coach. This is my 1st experience with coaching (counseling) and I appreciate her gentle tone.  Brenda validates what I'm saying, which is really important to hear what that sounds like.  If I ask for extra material to further my understanding she promptly sends the information.  She leaves it in my court and doesn't hover over my "homework."  Brenda is teaching me about learning to listen to myself when I'm resistant to doing something and how to create boundaries for my own well-being. I wish I would have started earlier in life but I feel like I found the perfect person to help me with a list of issues from anxiety, past trauma and codependency.” — Jessica K., Artist.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"I have worked with Brenda on the final editing of my book. I wanted to bring more soulfulness to my story.    Brenda's presence and experience brought a depth of wisdom and soul to the process.  Her capacity to listen and reflect back on what I was feeling was valuable and effective in flushing out what I didn't put into words.  Her knowledge and experiences are rich and profoundly influenced her ability to serve my needs.  Brenda is someone I trust and respect.  I highly recommend Brenda as a soulful, wise, and experienced coach.” — Kerani Marie, Author &amp; Wisdom Coach</image:caption>

      <image:title>Testimonials - Took the time to help me flesh out my own vision.</image:title>
      <image:caption>"I signed up for Brenda's Harvest Project with an idea for three little online classes. It wasn't that Brenda had a different idea in mind for me, but she took the time to help me flesh out my own vision, one that I couldn't quite yet see. In our sessions, she asked questions that took me further down and further out, into the depths and out into the horizon. She invited me to expand my vision, and she companioned me with grace when I quaked a bit at what she helped me see there - so much potential, possibility, and the answer to a lifelong calling. I will forever remember the moment how, with one well-timed question, this calling that I had been circling around for so long became embodied. I stepped into a bigger life in that moment, harvesting so much more than I thought possible for myself, so much more than I would have ever been able to give myself credit for. Brenda's wisdom comes from her love and knowledge of Jungian and archetypal psychologies, her lived experiences, her ability to en-vision, and her belief in her clients and our work. I'm forever grateful." — Dr. Robin Barre, The School of the Shiftless Wanderer</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"I’ve always enjoyed my imagination and creativity not necessarily the process.  Working with Coach Brenda, I’ve been able to bring some long term projects to completion a novella, “Barking Up The Wrong Geek”.  I’ve taken various parts of my creativity and produce an integrated work to completion, Badass Angel Cards, while working, sowing planting other art pieces and writings.

      <image:title>Testimonials - Challenged to look at the world through a wider lens. To go beyond dreaming. To awaken the soul.</image:title>
      <image:caption>"Working with Brenda J. Littleton is a life-changing experience. Classes on the Mandela and what it reveals about one’s life are teachings that can be reviewed and put into practice again and again. Brenda patiently walks participants through the process, and provides one the guidance to utilize the Mandela in any area of life decisions.  Brenda’s teachings with active imagination give one a sense of calm reassurance. Listening to self-conversations, and acknowledging those conversations, provides one the opportunity to see life truly is to be lived with joy.  Brenda’s coaching skills give one the opportunity to step out further and encourages one’s self-confidence. Through conversations and review of suggested materials, one is motivated to go deeper and is challenged to look at the world through a wider lens. Brenda encourages one to go beyond dreaming, and to awaken the soul.” — C., Elected Official</image:caption>

      <image:caption>If you deal with anxiety on a daily basis, then you know the three main fronts you have to constantly keep in balance: 1. Your relationship with anxiety: managing unexpected flushes of panic, fear, runaway thoughts with behavioral or medicinal support. 2. Your relationship with the difference between control and security: micro-managing life while craving safety. 3. Your relationship with your body-mind connection: over-thinking &amp; intellectualizing internal conversations instead of listening to your body. If you want help to reach this balance, then this 3-week class is for you!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"I saw that everything, all paths I had been following, all steps I had taken, were leading back to a single point — namely, to the mid-point. It became increasingly plain to me that the mandala is the centre. It is the exponent of all paths. It is the path to the centre, to individuation. I knew that in finding the mandala as an expression of the self I had attained what was for me the ultimate."  -- C. G. Jung Come explore &amp; make your own mandala where laying out aspects of your life creates a living expression of self-discovery! Discover how all the parts of your life forms a gorgeous piece of living art and a working roadmap! Living Your Mandala stimulates play, self-reflection, clarity &amp; satisfaction.

      <image:title>Writing for Self Discovery - Writing for Self-Discovery:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Using Active Imagination and Dream Work in Your Writing Three Nights: April, 2019 “First come dreams, then comes reality.” -- C. G. Jung The Goal: To develop greater personal closeness with confidence, clarity, ability, expression &amp; grace, regardless of your artistic modality. You will become a better writer, regardless of where you are now. This is a small, safe container for dissolving a few fears while gaining interior trust and fitness of soul. The Process: Introduction to interactive writing prompts, structures, organization of thoughts, understanding discernment, building competency in being heard and in listening to peers. Active Imagination and dream work are two skills of personal engagement with the individual soul. Each class will focus on developing these skills, with application toward writing and self-discovery. The Philosophy: Jungian depth psychology where listening to dreams, visions, images, patterns, recurring choices, desires and longings contribute to knowing the difference between ego and soul, while learning the boundaries of being wanted versus being worthy.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Soul Of Anxiety Class - The Soul of Anxiety. Life After Anxiety.</image:title>
      <image:caption>3-Week Intensive Reduce Anxiety Nervousness Fear $149 inclusive. Email: brenda@brendalittleton.com to REGISTER NOW! Limited Enrollment If you deal with anxiety on a daily basis, then you know the three main fronts you have to constantly keep in balance: 1. Your relationship with anxiety: managing unexpected flushes of panic, fear, runaway thoughts with behavioral or medicinal support. 2. Your relationship with the difference between control and security: micro-managing life while craving safety. 3. Your relationship with your body-mind connection: over-thinking &amp; intellectualizing internal conversations instead of listening to your body. If you want help in reaching this balance, then this 3-week class is something to consider. I'd love to teach you these proven methods to curate a life after anxiety. Let me know if you want to move forward. Introductory Talk: Please send me an email if you are interested in a free lecture introducing this class. In Service to Soul, Brenda Littleton, M.A. Jungian Coach Restorative &amp; Transformative Learning</image:caption>

      <image:title>Transformative Program - 12-Month Transformative Program.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The thought occurred to me you might be longing for a structured container, a space, to integrate all of the elements of your new Self, and to give them a way to become cohesive.  These elements would include writing, the deeper creative self, the relationships found within writing; your health, the body, the compensations that the body relies on to stay safe; elements of personal belonging and life-long purpose.  I’m not sure these elements are in the forefront of your conscious goals, but they all contribute to being in peace with longings, dreams, desires, and goals. The relationship you have with the former elements will determine your growth and accomplishments with the latter.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Transformative Program - Time to enter into a formal transformative training?</image:title>
      <image:caption>This might not be the time to enter into a formal transformative training: perhaps you’ve just relocated, or you have new systems to put into place, maybe your writing is taking hold, but if my suggestion of getting back on board a structured program lingers, let me know. While I believe many of my current and former students have reached the final step within the writing coaching program, there are still several layers of exploration waiting for you in the transformative year-long program.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Transformative Program - The Program.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I work with a small group of ten students for one year. I meet with them individually twice a month for 60 - 90 minutes each session.  Each week students receive instructions for new ways of seeing, of being, of stepping out of normal life. These instructions are small, but slightly deviant from their normal, conditioned behavior.  Each week students send me an email with a journal entry, written from a meditation toward problem solving. The journal entry is incorporated into one of the private sessions for processing. Individual sessions are confidential, as found in therapy, but integrate both therapeutic and coaching conversations for transformation, personal understanding, and experience. Often books, videos, seminars, other classes are provided to students to deepen their specific expression.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Transformative Program - Individual Learning Needs.</image:title>
      <image:caption>In the past, day trips, spirit journeys, plant medicine, and other excursions have been developed based on individual learning needs. Assessments are discussed throughout the year to establish growth, change, and/or re-orientation.  A final project is created as a practical and a ceremonial acknowledgment of a personal, professional, creative, family, community, global, galactic contribution you’ve made, from your year-long commitment, to your Self.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Transformative Program - The Results.</image:title>
      <image:caption>You will find Home, a place where personal excellence integrates previous limitations.  You will allow back in parts of yourself that have been on hiatus, and have subsequently held you back as payment for their silence.  You will learn how judgment, stress, and anxiety are your best friends, if you stop ignoring them, and instead listen to their guidance.  You will create your own system to physically feel healthier, be more creative, and trust your intuition while making decisions with finances. You will be confident in how to validate yourself and others while in potential conflict.</image:caption>
