Praise for Ruthann's Work
"Creating the Movie You Want" lecture helped me let out a beautiful scream of ‘Cut!’ to let go of all of the restrictions I ever felt, all the fear that I went through.
You have meant so much in my life. Thank you.

The world is going through a major crisis as a disintegration of traditional values. We need hope, love and a practical way to make our world more beautiful, harmonious and peaceful. Wherever Ruthann Pippenger appears she causes this affect that spreads like ripples on the water when a stone is thrown into it.
--Paul Solomon, Founder, Fellowship of the Inner Light
Ruthann has given effective methods I use to work on myself. She makes it clear that working through emotional pain frees potential. Ruthann helped me to recognize my life-purpose and to take responsibility for it. Many of the Peace through Understanding methods I use now in my work with groups and individuals.

I have listened to some of the tapes a dozen times. I never get tired of them. Driving to work is the perfect time to get good advice before the day’s challenges. It has been proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that we learn better from repetition. I find something new whenever I listen to one of the lectures.

When I listened to the 4 Elements in Communication lecture I was completely captured. This simple and practical model of explaining communications patterns between people is very useful. It helps us know when we are heard or not heard by others. It also explains how we can be open, balanced, flexible and charismatic in our own communications. Ruthann Pippenger is a clear and inspiring lecturer with a good sense of humor. I warmly recommend this lecture.
--Anne Helene, Life Coach, Oslo, Norway.
I have listened to six of the lectures so far and I have to admit that I felt the Aha feeling several times!
--Lena, Montessori Teacher and life-long spiritual student, Oslo, Norway
Living in the north of Norway with so much heat needed to warm us, I often think what would I take with me if the house caught on fire. I’d take the pictures of my children and the lectures by Ruthann Pippenger. To me the lectures are more valuable than GOLD, Ruthann. You have given me peace, joy, vision and excitement, truth, harmony and beauty. I send my love and thanks.
--Ragnhild, Teacher, Alta, Norway
Our radio program featuring your lectures is scheduled for Sunday evenings. Our listeners will certainly be encouraged to find a deeper self-understanding and to face personal and global challenges with a dash of humor.
