Meet Alexander and Kartika

Trish Broersma Bali 2016

Hi! I am Alexander and this is Kartika

I have grown-up knowing Peggy and her work, having met her through Jean Houston who is my godmother. If you have attended Jean and Peggy’s trips to Egypt, Greece, Italy or Indonesia in the 90s you may already know me.

It is my great honor to be setting up this tour as one of my first trips to Indonesia was with Peggy and Jean in 1996. A lot has changed since then but Bali is still very much an island of magic, and I am lucky enough to call it home since the year 2000. I have been leading tours professionally in Indonesia for the last five years now, and have been working on putting this trip together for the last two years. Along with my beloved partner Kartika, we have searched high and low around Bali to put together a great and authentic experience for you. Kartika is half Indonesian and half Canadian, grew up in the Indonesian culture as well as many other places in the world and also calls Bali home. We are really looking forward to sharing our Balinese world with you.

"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. It’s very readable and I highly recommend it."

Ellen Burstyn, Golden Globe and Oscar-winning actress

"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.

"Peggy Rubin’s brilliant elucidation of the nine powers of sacred theatre propels us away from any impoverished tunnel vision about our lives that we may have slipped into in the face of changing times. We find ourselves in a place where we recognize our lives for their full power and wonder, as a lifelong performance of sacred theatre. Peggy gives us tools from the best in theater tradition translated into effective life skills for sustaining and guiding us."

Trish Broersma, author of Riding into Your Mythic Life, Transformational Adventures with the Horse.

“It gives me perspective on what I am in this time in the world, and feeds my sense of vitality; it enables me to go through really tough stuff knowing that sooner or later the scene will change. There’s a different sense of everything when you begin to look from this point of view.”

Life Coach Elizabeth Austin, RN, CPCC, CEC

TO BE AND HOW TO BE presents an entirely fresh pathway to self-understanding. The book delights the ear, heart, mind, and soul, offering the riches of a deep love for the theatre and the harvest of a long and wide-ranging study of literature, spiritual traditions, and brain and energy research."

Lisa S. Nelson, Ph.D. Professor,Department of Political Science and Masters in Public Administration (MPA)Program

“It makes me want to walk on chairs, take delight in playing different roles, and gives me the courage just to step out there. I find it's possible to do things I would never have dreamed of doing.”
