The Shakespeare Joy Expedition

Trish Broersma Shakespeare Effect Series

The Shakespeare Effect 2018:

The Shakespeare Joy Expedition

We’re going to climb a mountain, an Everest of a mountain. It’s called Shakespeare’s Brain.

Grab your boots: you’re invited.

We will be making a perilous and thrilling journey. Into the caverns, the canyons, and the craggy heights of Shakespeare’s brain, his teeming brain.

Actually our goal is even higher than that.

We’re asking Shakespeare to allow us to use his formidable mind as a kind of ladder, a rope tether, a spelunking device to discover and claim for our own lives that sublime pristine lake that made his imagining, his invention, his creation possible. The pure mountain lake that holds the essence of true joy. The sweet icy clear water that contains the source of true joy.

As we drink the holy water of that highland lake, we will find courage and delight. Enough to come home again to this world, this time, bringing bright treasures to help restore ourselves, our communities, and our place on the Earth to joyful new life.

Big promise! Say Yes! We can.

It’s possible, especially with Shakespeare’s words and music as guides, providing patterns, ideas, methods, energies, and human creative wisdom as we travel along together.

The heights may make you giddy, not from lack of oxygen, but from joy, sheer joy.

What Others Are Saying

Peggy Rubin is a master of theater and the art of becoming. Her book – a masterpiece in every way – will hold you spellbound as you discover the drama of your soul and the purpose of your life. The unique expression of your essence – the Divine theophany that you are – emerges almost magically as you read this clear, penetrating, and insightful book and work with the exceptional exercises. Brava, Peggy!"

Joan Borysenko, Ph.D. Author of Your Soul's Compass and A Woman's Journey to God.

"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, Energy Medicine

"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.”
