Deanne spent time in Brazil in 2012, working with Mavesper Cy Ceridwen and the Dianic Tradition of Brazil at the Templo da Deusa 
outside of Brasilia, Brazil. After returning, she continues online and in Austin, Texas.
She was invited back by Claudiney Prieto twice, but sadly her health prevented those trips. Claudiney is a high priest one of her traditions, The Apple Branch – A Dianic Tradition, and through the years they have become very close friends.
Note from Bendis: Really, I am a crazy old woman with pink hair and a vibrant love for life. Living my life with Goddess has helped me recapture the joy, imagination and play of my girlhood. If I can say one thing to you it would be,
“Be all that you can be. Open yourself to the divine soul that you are and walk hand in hand with Her. Dance with Her. Make love with Her. Write poetry and sing Her Many Names.”
