Re-membering feminine instinct
Exalting masculine power
Reclaiming the soul of village-culture
We live in a fast-paced modern world that has conditioned women out of their bodies, hearts, instincts, and inner knowing, and conditioned men to not trust their power. I help you return to what you left behind.

"Each of us has a well of images within, which are the saving reality and from which may be born the individual myth carrying the meaning of a life…. It must be borne out of the crucible of our own struggles and suffering as we affirm our new freedom without rejecting the perennial truth of the feminine way".
— Helen Luke
Brielle Elise Martinez, MA, PTC
Brielle is a women's facilitator, scholar of myth (MA), storyteller, and certified Professional Transformational Coach in private practice for nine years.
Weaving storytelling with high-quality transformational coaching, Brielle midwives women in the archetypal "Heroine's Journey" — their return to wholeness by healing the separation from the feminine (as body, feeling, instinct, earth, and soul) caused by a sun-blind, masculine-dominant culture. Using the power of story to tap into the wisdom of the unconscious, she curates experiential, mythopoetic journeys, helping women to recover their female instincts, heal with the masculine, and re-member the creational power and medicinal bliss of their true nature. Brielle draws from thousands of hours of 1:1 sessions and group coaching, post-graduate study in the Poetics of Imagination under the supervision of mythologist Dr. Martin Shaw, and the salt and grit of her own Heroine’s Quest into the paradoxical mysteries of the deep feminine.
Supporting Women on the Journey to Wholeness
3 foundational threads of this work:

Postfeminism
Teachings for advancing women's collective consciousness from the 2nd stage of independence (feminism) and its trauma-response-shadow of striving and hyper-independence, to the third stage of sacred inter-dependence with partner and Spirit, reclaiming Eros — vital life-force energy — in body, imagination & heart.
Emergent Feminine Creativity
Feminine creativity as receptivity, as porosity to the wellspring. Returning women to the creational power of the feminine — the ability to receive & respond — so they can be agents of the Aquarian Age, the age of the water-bearer, carrying water into this world from the other world.

“Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature — a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing.”
