Writing Retreat 2016

2016 is the Year for Writing in Retreat

This is the cottage for my “Writing Retreat at the Oregon Coast” which your kindness and generosity have given me to produce a Book of Joy [READ MORE]. As well as other writings that form part of the ongoing, many-years mystery calling itself A Book of The Lady. Thanks to you I will be able to spend three months here, reviewing, winnowing, smiling, howling, despairing, laughing, working, and sending blessings. Plus actually putting words to paper that celebrate my love for The Lady and Her stories.

Your name I will sing out in gratitude to the ocean waves and tides, trusting that their sumptuous energies will bathe you in joy for the goodness you have shown me through many of my unbelievable 80 years.

May you be imbued with happiness and the causes of happiness.
With love and vast appreciation,
Peggy Rubin

"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."

“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.”
