Press Room

Ronda LaRue has an unusually diverse and rich background blending science, the arts, social psychology, and the sacred into a deeply transformational playground of inquiry, healing, self realization, and living artistry.

An avid student of transpersonal psychology, sociology, east/west spirituality, modern physics, shamanism, bio-energetic healing and mind/body/spirit integration, Ronda specializes in radical self discovery, healing insight and the artistry of creative living. Ronda's work is nondenominational and alive to the spontaneous and vital intelligence that resides within each individual. She specializes in teaching how to use one's fears, blocks, questions and confusions as signposts for discovering one's own utterly unique creative genius and the reclaimed wholeness of being completely you.

Her work is: visionary and pioneering in its creative wholesomeness; timeless in its reflection of perennial wisdom traditions; and turbo-charged by Ronda's own unique flair for impish playfulness, down-to-earth practicality, sharp clarity of discernment, and "behind the scenes" artistry.

Ronda's work as an emerging transpersonal author/expert and life guide is itself a reflection of what it means to find and fully embody one's true self along landscapes of living.

2003    Published First Book: Remembering Who You Really Are: The Journey of Awakening to Soul

In 2001 and during a very intense 3-year vision quest, Ronda experienced a radical shift of awareness, called by some as an "awakening". Ronda prefers to call this reclaiming experience "remembering who you really are ", as she believes that this is the primary quest we are each striving to discover in our lives: How to find, reclaim, and follow our own unique identity, purpose, and artful living (The Artistry of Being YOU!) Ronda's first book received both Editor's & Reader's Choice Awards and is considered a contemporary classic in portraying the mythic journey to personal discovery and reclaimed wholeness of self.
