WHEN WILL YOU BEGIN THAT LONG JOURNEY INTO YOURSELF? ~ Rumi
Ruth Brennan is a weaver of wisdom, creativity, and transformation—a devoted guide and teacher of Human Design who brings depth, compassion, and artistry to everything she touches.
Certified as a Human Design Analyst and teacher of Rave ABCs, Rave Cartography, and advanced Professional Training Levels III and IV, Ruth blends technical mastery with a soulful approach. She is also a Certified BG5 Business Consultant, helping clients navigate their professional lives with alignment and purpose.
As the Creative & Marketing Director for the International Human Design School (IHDSchool.com), Ruth collaborates with visionaries like Lynda Bunnell and Lynette Crisfield. Her work breathes life into the school’s mission, combining stunning visual designs with eloquently written content for IHDS, the BG5 Institute, and Solar Transit Reports. She also co-authored A New Kind of Awakening: A Newcomer’s Guide to the Human Design System alongside Lynda Bunnell.
Ruth’s relationship with Human Design began as a solitary exploration, studying its intricate layers for a year before realizing she needed a human connection to fully grasp its depth. Guided by Bethi Black and Cathy Kinnaird, she embarked on a journey of passionate learning and growth—a journey that continues to this day.
Clients and students often describe Ruth as a source of steady patience, radiant authenticity, and profound care. In her presence, they feel seen—not for who the world thinks they should be, but for who they truly are. Her gentle confidence invites trust, even as she holds a clear and unwavering commitment to the truth of their Design.
Ruth’s gifts are deeply rooted in her lived experience. Having endured the frustration, anger, and bitterness of an unaligned life, she knows firsthand the liberation that comes with rediscovering one’s true self. Her journey, marked by challenges and triumphs, allows her to meet others where they are—with empathy, understanding, and a profound respect for their path.
In 2012, Ruth faced what she calls her “dark night of the soul.” A 20+ year marriage had unraveled into toxicity, and a devastating Stage 4 cancer diagnosis shook her to the core. Yet, in the darkness, she found a light—a moment of correction, as the Kabbalists might say, that returned her to herself. While not cured, Ruth now walks a profound healing journey, finding peace amidst the ebbs and flows of living with cancer. She often reflects that the diagnosis, though terrifying, was a gift—a wake-up call that helped her realign her life with truth and purpose.
Beyond her work in Human Design, Ruth has spent her life immersed in ancient wisdom and the arts. A singer-songwriter, she recorded two children’s albums and wrote five murder mystery plays, all produced in New York during the 1980s and ’90s. Her creative spirit flows into her work, adding layers of richness and depth to her offerings.
Today, Ruth resides in the lush Pacific Northwest, drawing inspiration from the beauty around her. She shares her home with her beloved puppy, Alvin, and continues to teach, guide, and create, embodying the profound alignment and authenticity she helps others discover in their own lives.
By honoring who you are, life celebrates your arrival.
Love Yourself,
Ruth Brennan
