The River Within
The River Within is a 12-week virtual program + a 2-day in-person workshop for the woman who wants to do less and become more of herself.
You know there’s more. You’re just done struggling for it.
What if your life doesn’t need fixing?
What if you are not broken?
You long for more pleasure, more joy, more creativity and even more abundance in your life.
You wish the “problems” you face could be “fixed” so you could finally be happy.
Your finances. Your relationship. Your health. Your job. Your chronic pain.
If only you could get things under control, you could feel powerful and alive again.
But what if your hand is on the wrong lever?
What if the “problems” themselves are invitations to your power and joy?
There is a specific expression trying to come through you in the form of your life, and you might be unknowingly blocking it. About the River
More of YOU is absolutely possible, and the world desperately needs you to step into your full, authentic, whole self.
The Way to The River
Attend 12 virtual workshops over Zoom with Ruthie and Ally.
This is not your average Mastermind. We’re not strategizing. We are alchemizing. We’re not upleveling. We’re downshifting.
Come to Nashville for an unforgettable 2-day workshop
Two days of rest, reconnection and embodiment. We’ll use somatic practices like yoga, writing, intuitive dance, and breathwork. A space of safety and belonging so you can remember YOU.
Connect & grow alongside other incredible women
Alchemize your pain & unlearn the stories that are keeping you small, while being tenderly supported. You’ll join a small accountability group and a group chat via Voxer.
“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium, and it will be lost. The world will not have it.”-Martha GrahamWHAT YOU GET

Ruthie is a bestselling author, speaker, and somatic coach who has guided hundreds of women to liberate themselves from the patterns and pain that keep them stuck.

As a somatic, trauma-informed practitioner, she works with the body, the shadow, and the unconscious to help women name what’s blocking them, feel it fully, and fall in love with themselves and their lives.

She has written 13 books and counting and has helped thousands use writing as a tool for their personal growth.

A certified yoga instructor, she integrates embodied movement and breath to help others locate blocks, name them, and move through them with power and ease.
"I was feeling so deeply stuck. Nothing I did seemed to shake the feeling that I was unhappy and unworthy. By the end, my energy had shifted completely. I felt lighter, more hopeful, and happier. I came in exhausted, depleted, and unsure. I came out renewed, more aligned, and awake. It was like a giant deep breath for my nervous system."
— Kristine
"Ally guides you through the pain, the confusion, the wonder of what's hiding deep inside. This workshop had such an impact on my life; I still refer back to the notes I took during that time, and I use them to further my writing today."
—Kathy Stevens
"Ally has shown me how writing is a haven for me to process not only past trauma and losses, but also the unceasing challenges of everyday life. Ally’s gentle coaching is a touchstone for me through my highs and my lows. "
—Amy Ivey
"I'm free from emotional baggage that felt like invisible weights that I carried all the time. Since working with Ruthie, I am sleeping better, laughing more, and I have dramatically more hope.
-Lindsay Beasley
We’re not here with all the answers or to tell you what to do next.
We are here to introduce you to a powerful flow of energy that knows the way better than any of us do.
We call that flow: The River.
You may not know what comes next. The River does.
You may not know what to do. The River does.
You may not be able to solve this problem. The River can.
You may feel afraid or small. Not The River.
What if you could let The River of YOU flow without questioning or second-guessing yourself?

Express Freely
There’s an energy, a current, a specific melody of expression that is trying to come through you, your life, your business, your relationships, your physical voice, and even that creative project that won’t stop calling.
What if you could get out of the way and allow yourself to express freely and fully?
Trust Your Life
You are capable and confident. You can achieve most any outcome and clean up virtually any mess. But when push comes to shove you might ask the question: what happens if I let go? Does life truly have my back?
What if you could trust that life was leading you somewhere sweet?
Move Through Pain
The heartbreak, the loss, the grief, the debt, the friendship falling apart, the dream that never came true. The diagnosis, the death, the chronic symptoms that refuse to go away. You have tried everything to end the pain.
What if you could end the war with your pain and receive the invitation it has for you?
What if the very thing you were resisting was actually the portal?

Frequently Asked Questions
-
We’ll spend two days together unlocking the fullness of your expression through meditation, journaling, yoga, shadow work, breathwork and non-linear movement. This process is designed to get you out of your head and into your body so you can hear the wisdom of your life come through in its own unique expression. Many of us are avoiding or resisting our lives without knowing it. As we soften together, you will see your own beautiful light shine through and be nurtured by the lights of the other women around you. Coffee, tea, and light snacks will be provided. Please note that attendees will need to cover their own lodging and meals during our gathering.
-
A dear friend of ours has opened her home to us so we can host this amazing experience for you. That means we’ll be meeting south of Nashville for each day of the workshop, November 13-14 from 9am-4pm (we’ll share the exact address after registration). For accommodations, you’ll want to find a hotel or Airbnb in Brentwood, Cool Springs or Franklin, TN to keep your commute under 30 minutes. If you stay in Nashville proper, plan on a 30-40 min drive each morning.
-
Life happens and it’s likely you’ll miss a session or two. That's ok. We’ll record each one so you can watch back later and catch up.
-
We understand that life doesn't always go according to plan, and we're sorry in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. Because this experience is intentionally designed around the people in the room, we begin planning for each participant well before the program starts. Your enrollment helps us prepare the group experience, reserve resources, and create the best possible environment for everyone involved. For that reason, all sales are final and we're unable to offer refunds, regardless of circumstance. We ask that you register only when you're ready to make this commitment with the full intention of following through.
-
This is not your typical mastermind or workshop experience. We’re not teaching you a strategy or formula to improve your life. We’re operating with an underlying assumption that your life is a completely unique expression and that that expression is trying to happen through you. All we have to do is to get out of the way of its unfolding. We’ll use modalities like yoga, meditation, breathwork, dreamwork and non-linear movement to help you drop out of the mind and into the body, where your deep wisdom lives. When you can open to that wisdom, and allow it to come through in its fullness, your life will become a miraculous mess and so precious to you that you will hardly be able to handle it.
-
We were drawn to working together on this project because although we teach different modalities, we have similar approaches. Our greatest goal is to overwhelm you with value and love. We do this work not because we believe our process is so special but because we believe YOU are so special and that what is needed for your unfolding is safety and love. We hold this space as sacred and hold your participation as significant. We don’t take your trust lightly.
-
19-99. Every woman in any season of life is welcome here.

Sometimes we hesitate to sign up for “group” things, and other times we sign up for them and sit like a wallflower in the background ha, worrying that we won’t “click” with the others in the group. Believe us when we say that participating with others in the group will be part of your healing in this setting. You may not align perfectly with every woman in the group but you will learn infinitely from each one. We set boundaries to establish safety and will be thoughtful in how we divide the small groups. See if you can accept this invitation to being seen and to seeing these women fully. Watch how we become stronger together.
