I am Alana Ruben Free.
From my teachers, I have inherited the understanding that the feminine is not about dominance but co-creative power. I guide women in my classes and courses to claim their capacity to shape their lives from love, connection, and vision—so that leadership is not imitation of the old, but the birth of the new.
She is deeply invested in all her students. She provides the tools for you to make discoveries about yourself. I am so grateful to Alana for teaching confidence and artistic self awareness with passion.

I have known Alana Ruben for a decade and.have come to greatly respect Alana's intelligence and depth of studies in dreamwork, feminine psychology and Judaism. I have read her writings on the archetype of Queen Esther, her novella, and monologues. She is a highly creative, multigenre artist who has been involved in many powerful collaborations with other artists globally.
