As a former organizational consultant to non-profits organizations, high-tech firms and multinationals, Ruth King understands the stress and emotional distress of a typical workplace in our fast, competitive world. Her effective tools, knowledge and skills are derived from over 20 years of learning from the fields of psychology, leadership, systems theory and indigenous wisdom. Both dynamic and compassionate, Ms. King speaks with authenticity into the heart of her audiences.
King works with individuals and organizations in transition and supports leaders and the communities they serve. This includes managers, counselors, consultants, psychotherapists, educators, trauma workers, practitioners of the healing and expressive arts, spiritual counselors, artists, activists, and other women and men interested in:
- Recognizing and utilizing your inner genuise
- Expanding perceptions of right and wrong
- Understanding yourself in groups
- Becoming more connected to life and purpose
- Learning how to forgive and let go
- Living a balanced and creative life
- Discovering how to rest in body and mind
- Creating healthy legacies
While her content addresses the commonality at the heart of these groups, King is also meticulous about customizing to respond to the specific needs of her client groups.
“Just wanted to let you know Ruth know how much the mini-workshop at The Bag Lady Bookstore helped me. I came home and started reading your book, and had some monumental breakthroughs about the females in my family line. I was able to release intense emotions and look at them more compassionately. Thanks and much love! Jennifer F., Charlotte, NC
“The 5th Annual Domestic Violence Conference, “Sisters Break the Silence” was a huge success…The workshop you led received the highest evaluation marks and was reported to be a very powerful and healing experience by those who participated. Thank you for your contributions.” Rachel Bryant, Health Ministry Coordinator, Alta Bates Summit
“I genuinely benefited not only from the conference but also from your ability to help people be better human beings.” — Dommie T. Oswald, Vocational Rehab Supervisor, Seattle, WA
“For the last two years, Ruth King has graced the Insight Meditation Community of Washington with workshops on transforming rage, which has drawn the most diverse audiences we have ever seen. In her presence, people from all walks of life can feel the depth of her own personal journey and spiritual practice. It’s through this profound transmission of wisdom that opens hearts and minds to forgiveness, compassion, and kindness. We had sell-out events each year and we’re committed to bringing Ruth back annually. Everyone who has attended Ruth’s events have come away feeling inspired, empowered, and whole.” — La Sarmiento, IMCW Events Manager
