About This Work - Lineage & Practice
Introduction
For more than four decades, Ronda LaRue’s work has centered on understanding how human systems function — within corporations, communities, boards, and private lives. Trained in applied social research and evaluation methodology, her career has moved through strategic planning, retreat leadership, integrative mentoring, advisory work, and creative expression — each phase deepening the same underlying inquiry.
Phase I - Strategic Planning & Research (1985-2004)
Founder of InfoVision Systems, an international strategic planning and market research firm, Ronda led projects for corporations, cities, hospitality brands, and nonprofit organizations. Her work included board planning retreats, tourism and economic development analysis, customer and employee research programs, and strategic branding initiatives across the U.S. and internationally.
​
Her graduate training (M.S., Applied Social Research & Evaluation Methodology) grounded this work in rigorous evaluation and systemic analysis.
Current Chapter
Now based in Ashland, Oregon, Ronda continues integrative mentoring and advisory work while contributing to local community life through gatherings, creative collaborations, and selective consulting.
Phase II- Integrative Mentoring & Retreat Leadership (2003–2020)
In the early 2000s, her focus expanded into integrative spiritual mentoring and retreat leadership through the Center for SoulArts. For nearly two decades she guided private and group retreats, couples’ work, and deep personal transformation processes, serving hundreds of clients internationally.
Phase III – Advisory & Integrative Counsel (2008–Present)
Alongside mentoring, Ronda has continued advisory collaboration with high-net-worth fiduciary clients, leadership teams, and mission-driven organizations. Her advisory work integrates social-psychological insight with lived spiritual and organizational experience.
Phase IV – Creative & Cultural Expression
Art installations, published books, Essence Songs, and SoulArts Studio projects represent the creative expression of this same inquiry — reflecting human and cultural thresholds through language and music.
