I have always been able to employ in real life what I've learned in my theatrical training. Peggy Rubin has now made that process available to anybody who reads this book.

, author of Your Soul's Compass and A Woman's Journey to God Peggy Rubin has written a wonderful book full of theater history and mystery.

Bravo! -- Michael Meade , author of The World Behind the World and The Water of Life If you are needing to clarify and manifest your life's purpose "To Be and How to Be" is a great guide. This profound book, filled with wisdom and compassionate understanding, offers you empowerment and the inspiration to live your true purpose in this incarnation. Learn through inquiry and practical exercies to be a fully awake sacred actor in the sacred theatre called life. -- Judith Cornell , Ph.D. [Rajita Sivananda], award-winning author of Mandala: Luminous Symbols for Healing, Amma Healing the Heart of the World and Drawing the Light from Within There are times when something you read has the power to stop your life in its unconscious rush forward: this book does that, and then again and again, it coaxes something more genuine to take shape.

To take seriously these often deceptively gentle instructions, to give them the real chance to do their great work, just may be to find oneself suddenly, and quite radiantly, at home in the moment. Read, in other words, only if prepared to loosen yourself from the tight grip of your old stories and know your birth-right: the vast stage is always arriving right under your feet. -- Sensei Bonnie Myotai Treace , Gristmill Hermitage, founder of Hermitage Heart & Bodies of Water Zen From Sacred Theatre to sacralizing your life's story, Peggy Rubin takes you through an engaging and wonderful process that will expand your perspective in a myriad of ways and enrich your journey forever. We love this book. -- Donna Eden and David Feinstein , authors of Energy Medicine Each of the arts offers models for the composing of lives, but, as Peggy Rubin demonstrates, theater perhaps most of all. This effervescent description of sacred theater should inspire us all as composers of our lives and caring actors in the world. -- Mary Catherine Bateson , author of Composing a Further Life: The Age of Active Wisdom This is a groundbreaking book in human and spiritual development. With her knowledge and love of theater as well as human life, Peggy Rubin has created a new guide to enable you to move through the dramas of your life, searching the ground of your being, exploding energy, aware, imagining and ever moving forward.

This book is wisdom, don't miss it. -- Elaine de Beauport , Ed.D., author of The Three Faces of Mind, Director of the Mead Institute for Human Development.
