Speaking Engagements

Patrice is a beloved speaker for both adult audiences and schoolchildren.

ADULT AUDIENCES

With the re-release of God Made Easy, Patrice Karst invites adult audiences into a grounded, hopeful conversation about faith, love, and the quiet ways we stay connected, even when life feels uncertain. Her talks blend story, insight, and real lived experience, with the same warm-hearted voice that has made her work so widely cherished.

Patrice also speaks on a wide range of topics drawn from her broader body of work, including love and connection across distance, navigating change and separation, grief and healing, and how simple stories can help us steady ourselves and one another.

Her message has resonated in settings as varied as schools, counseling and grief-support communities, hospitals, and family programs worldwide.

"Patrice Karst is a gifted speaker with a captivating story.  We recently hosted her at the Ventura Center for Spiritual Living, where she spoke about her journey as the bestselling author of The Invisible String, and her newest release of God Made Easy.  Patrice offered an inspiring and relatable spiritual message, laced with humility and humor.  She “read the room” and engaged beautifully with the audience.  Our community loved Patrice –and we sold out of her books within minutes after the service.  We are looking forward to hosting her again! " 
-Rev. Bonnie Rose, Ventura Center for Spiritual Living
“I enjoyed the interview with Patrice as she told her story authentically and also showed her vulnerability. She was engaging and the audience loved her. I feel her story helps individuals deepen their relationship with God. Patrice is open hearted which allows others to open to their inner feelings to continue to awaken on their own spiritual path . I look forward to having Patrice come back to our community and speak again.”

If you are interested in hosting Patrice Karst at your school, or if you are interested in hosting Patrice Karst and Dana Wyss, PhD at your school/organization/event for art therapy workshops, please contact Patrice.

We were honored to welcome Patrice Karst to our K–2 school today! She shared her journey as a beloved children’s author and introduced students to her heartwarming book, The Invisible String. Our students were completely captivated as they learned how the idea for the story came to life and listened to her read it aloud. It was such a special experience, and one our students will carry with them always—forever holding onto their own invisible string.  Thank you, Patrice!

"Patrice Karst has visited our elementary school ( and all the grades!) several times during our annual author programs. Each time was even more special than the one before. The children were mesmerized to hear Patrice share her story of why and how she came to write and publisher all of her books, inspiring them to continue to read and write and share their own creative ideas. Not only was her time with us an inspiration for the children, but for the educators that were also present. Patrice has a way of engaging us all with her huge open heart and the love in the room was palpable.Over the years many authors have come to visit us, but Patrice was the most captivating speaker and the children could not stop talking about their experience long after the event was over."
