Memories of Brenda

Brenda Brett was a shining example of goodness, grace and intelligence and she was a truly beautiful person. We shared the World Symposium (1979) after it happened when we first met in Washington DC a year later. I am writing this now as my dear friend and brother Ed Elkin shared with me this morning about this tribute to Brenda and I felt I had to share my thoughts also. She was a kind, loving and generous person who had grace and style and a great sense of humor. We always talked a lot and enjoyed sharing. She was in London and working hard with many of you. I was in Pasadena with the group there—a group of us worked for 6 months to bring an entourage from Northern California to LA for the event and we are still connected after all of these years. It was a pivotal turning point event for many of us – an amazing experience-the first and only of its kind. Strange the satellite went out the day before so we were all involved in each location, but not connected as we had planned. Brenda, Ron Klein, Ed Elkin (Maui) Guru Raj Singh and Datar Singh.and the folks in Toronto also shared when we all met together again about a year later.

Brenda and I stayed in touch and spent a lot of time together when she moved to the Bay Area. Then we visited her years later when she was back in London and had a lovely visit. Can you imagine how much easier it would have been if all the networking we did in those days was on Facebook and the Internet? Not sure how we did it before but we did. Its astounding how much has changed.

But my admiration, friendship and love for Brenda has continued over all of this time. I send to each of you my best wishes and blessings for a great year ahead and life full of adventures, and with the spirit and knowing that there is great connection in love and humanity that lasts over time and beyond.

Love and light

Guided today, Aug. 22, 2011 to see what had been written about Brenda and was happily surprised to find this Sojournalist listing and comments.
As some of you may remember, I was the Consulting Synergist on the World Symposium Team, basically spending 3 months based in London with Brenda, and then going on to Toronto and finally
to LA and Pasadena just before our April event.
The time is etched in my memory as one of the happiest and most satisfying eras in my life. I loved Brenda thoroughly and encouraged her to marry the younger man she loved which she did.
The energy and glow of the World Symposium lives on in the hearts and minds of many . I’ve been living on Maui now for over 22 years,. and invite contacts from any of you reading this who knew Brenda. My phone is 760-884-7036 with an
e-mail at and a website at
if you care to know more about me.

When I was living in Escondido, CA I often attended a spiritualist church which gave messages from those who had “passed over” . One such message clearly came from Brenda whose energy, intelligence, and charisma shall always be with those of us fortunate enough to have met her.

God Bless you, Dame Brenda, wherever you are. Thanks and
mahalo nui loa for your presence among us. ALOHA.

I knew Brenda around the late 90`s, she was a source of inspriration to me as i was going through a very hard time. She always had a supportive word and time to talk and listen..
I was deeply saddened to hear of her passing, from our world, but happy for those that will benefit from on her wealth of knowledge and wisdom in the next plain of existence.
It was a pleasure knowing you Brenda..
Love always

I lived and worked with Brenda on the world symposium in 1979. There was a calling that went out to all who heard (it calls us still ) and I like all the other friends came from every continent on earth,from every country to help. We came …and we knew each other,as if we had spent a thousand lifetimes together. I knew you and you knew me. Your soul was open and filled with divine lightness. You were beautiful to behold. There were saints, sinners and singers. Every person had been born to the awakening. And we came by strange and mysterious paths to this gathering on earth and leant our souls light to the whole that it could be born in universal love, light and brotherhood. We came in response to our personal meditation and paths to help initiate and be of service to the universal consciousness transforming earth.What love was planted. What humble dear people you are high or low you were there and here now!

And dear Brenda, and Malcolm, Issabel, Stephen, Quuddus, Margaret, Joyce,Barbara…May you (any missing names are etched in the true reality…unending)… all your names are here in my heart…thankyou..thankyou for then and thankyou to all the beautiful lines of love and joy threading through all of us now. To all the bountiful light filled love filled projects.you initiated..to the ineffable that is best seen when we love all ,when we see the best in all beings and so it is…to you all …bravo am raising my cup to you all …x

I worked with Brenda on the World Symposium on Humanity in 79 as an assistant busybody, going to Paris as a PR person, coordinating the sufi part of the symposium, arranging for a press conference for Ram Dass after he was blocked from enetering the UK, and generally causing more trouble than I was worth, even sleeping on her floor in her bedroom one night. We had a great team, lots of folks, and she and Malcolm’s 2-person shared management team was the inspiration for my futuristic utopian Sharing Futures, Ltd. model of a more fair and balanced world to come. I did not know of her passing. She was initiated into the sufi order by my sheikh Joyce Rabia Purcell, MBE that summer and received the sufi name Sayyida. She attended the sufi camp in the alps that summer also, where Pir Vilayat Khan did his month long retreat talks. I know her kids and miss them and hope all is well. Brenda will live on as a fairy godmother of the Sharing Futures model. I can still see her reading my intial 20 page draft at the Galstonbury fair that summer, and we lived in the same house owned by Margaret Rogers in Gidea Park, Romford, Sussex. That was where she met her future husband before moving to America. I was there then. That house is where the original white light inspirations for Sharing Futures, Ltd., began, based on Brenda example. Blessing.

I too have just read here of Brenda’s passing. I had left London returning to New Zealand in 1996 and kept in touch with her by sending birthday wishes till loosing her new address.
I too knew Brenda through the Flowing Gold Club and experienced some guided healing from her … amazing and positive effects are still with me.
I am in awe to read about her history, so much I didn’t know. We did have conversations about alchemy that helped embed it into my core beliefs.
Brenda was a woman who has made a great and lasting impact on my life and having read the above there is so much more I would have loved to connect with her about.
Brenda was always open and welcoming and generous of herself, her time and her knowledge. I love my copy of the Rose Garden Meditation and feel priviledged to have personally known her and shared a friendship.
Love, Angela

I only just heard that Brenda had passed on, I got to know her pretty well during the flowing gold club era, where she was an inspiration and a catalyst for so much good communication and activity. Petaltone Essences had their first public outings during these sessions.
I did work with her on producing a guided meditation entitled ‘World Leaders’ which was to be a tape at one stage, featuring the unique and excellent idea of visualising our leaders coming to their senses and doing it ‘right’ for a change…a powerful idea indeed.
I’ll have a look and see if i can find a copy of that tape.
meanwhile to all her friends I met and shared with I offer my joy at having had the honour of being her friend,
blessings
