An innovative voice for spiritual evolution who teaches the essential and transformative nature of “core-splitting honesty,” John de Ruiter is a Canadian philosopher, author and speaker. 

John awakened to foundational levels of existence as a teenager. Since then, histeaching has been informed by that direct knowing, a source of inspiration that he brings to his dialogues. 

Meetings with John are defined by silence, connection through eye-contact and dialogue. They are an opportunity to come to rest while actively realizing deeper levels of being human, knowing what we really are, and allowing that greater reality to change our lives.

John has been sharing his wisdom from his home base in Edmonton, Alberta for nearly three decades. He established the College of Integrated Philosophy there in 2006. During the Covid pandemic, John hosts weekly Interactive Live Streams and multi-day online “Intensives.” 

These weekly live streams present the chance to ask John any questions you might have. While the heart of John’s teaching is about consciousness and profound awakening, meetings with him also provide the opportunity to talk about practical topics like mental health, parenting and relationships. 

“My sole purpose is to be, in life, what we are after we’ve died. Through openness and softness of heart and core-splitting honesty at any personal cost, I live as that while actualizing the same in others I meet. I am available as a resource for anyone who recognizes and values this way of being.” -John de Ruiter
