A Bit About Ruth
Spiritual Guide
A retired social worker/minister, Ruth Zwald makes her home on a farm in Michigan, starting every dawn with good coffee and the crow of the rooster. Loving the cycles of the seasons, Ruth watches the moon and never misses a solstice or equinox turning.
Ruth is a Mesa Carrier on the Peruvian Medicine Path, and has completed her work to become a "Pampamesayog." The training involves personal healing, transformational healing for others, and creating ceremony and ritual for ourselves and for the earth. Ruth has also studied other indigenous belief systems. In 2018, she had the opportunity to travel to Ecuador for a Shaman Summit with the Yachaks of the Andes. There she experienced a powerful LaLimpia healing, and has since completed training to be able to offer that sacred method of healing.
​
Here is Ruth's statement on faith: "I have always strived to live as a person with faith. After serving for several years as a Christian pastor, I took my leave of traditional patriarchal systems of belief. My faith found its way to indigenous belief systems, and an honoring of the earth as sacred. This interconnectedness is what nourishes my spirit."

What does "sliding scale" mean?"In the spirit of reciprocity, and in making these services available to anyone, Ruth has set up a sliding scale fee schedule for all her services. For an hour of service, the range of monetary exchange is $5-$50. Ruth is also open to barter. Clients have brought dinner or dessert - or they have helped in the gardens in the summer - or they share some art they have created. All of it is negotiated with Ruth to make a reasonable exchange. Please don't allow money to be the barrier to your wellness.
-
Where do workshops take place?Ruth is available to come to your home or church or gathering place to present a workshop. You gather the people, and Ruth brings all the supplies needed. The groups can be a women's group, or an artist's group, or a circle of friends, or a network through your church. Use the contact page to discuss the possibilities with Ruth.
