Ruth Zanoni
Ruth had an epiphany at a very young age, that her true calling in life was to plant and nourish seeds of peace and understanding. This led to her mindfulness practice which has been a steady companion for almost fifty years. She began practicing Insight Meditation in the late 2000s, and began teaching meditation and mindfulness practices in 2011. Ruth is an Affiliate Teacher with Insight Meditation Community of Washington.
Her formal studies in mindfulness include completion of Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield’s Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program (2021), Judith Blackstone’s Realization Process Embodiment Program (Certificate, 2021), and David Treleaven’s Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness Training (2019). Ruth is currently pursuing a certificate in healing trauma from Jeffrey Rutstein, Ph.D.
Her work is informed by extensive training in nonviolent communication, restorative practices, and mediation. Ruth also has a JD from Hastings College of Law.
