About The Event
Healer-singer-songwriters both, get ready to be moved by Ruth Blake and Louisa Love's soulful voices and poignant lyrics as they perform songs that will touch your heart and inspire your spirit. This is a fundraiser event with all proceeds going to Focus Counselling and their Young People's Well-Being Cafe which is hosted each week by The Good Heart. Welcome to all, it is an opportunity to gather together and strengthen our community ties as we connect to ourselves and each other through the universal language of music.
Ruth Blake is a UK-based singer-songwriter, therapeutic mentor and integrative counsellor; all avenues through which she expresses her passion for self-knowledge and the deeper truths of her human experience. Taking inspiration from the likes of Brene Brown (Braving the Wildnerness), Gabor Mate (The Myth of Normal) and Clarissa Pinkola Estes (Women Who Run with the Wolves), Ruth hopes to inspire those she works with to bring more kindness, curiosity and creativity into their relationship with themselves and others.
As well as being featured on BBC Introducing, Ruth has played dozens of festivals across the UK, recorded at Real World Studios and collaborates with Manchester-based Caulbearers and the Music as Medicine collective. Alongside this she has over a decade's experience in the healing arts, and is currently offering unique opportunities for those wanting to engage with soul-driven transformation, authentic creative expression and the art of intuitive songwriting. She also works as a counsellor for her local charity, Focus Counselling, which provides professional and affordable counselling and various support groups for the local community.
