Dr. King lives in Pasadena, California, where she has established The Institute of Philosophy & the Arts, an interdisciplinary forum created to inspire uplifted thought through a deepened awareness of universal interconnectedness. Under the auspices of the Institute, a salon on "The Spiritually Creative Life" is held the second Sunday of each month at her home. Also under the auspices of the Institute, The Painting Society of Arroyo del Rey has been established to enable artists to set up their easels at her home's natural arroyo setting on the third Thursday and Saturday of each month.
