Ruth also offers “Deep Play” in both her 8-week InterPlay Alchemy classes and Art and Soul Creativity Coaching. As a visual artist for almost three decades, she enjoys facilitating meaningful play related to the arts and embodying the creative magic of the soul. In her Interplay classes and coaching, she guides clients to integrate body, intellect, emotions, and spirit, enabling the finding, experiencing, and expressing their creative voices.
