Enjoy the latest blog post from Director Mark Ruhala!
Owner and Artistic Director Mark Ruhala writes about many subjects from theatre to child development, to quantum physic and science to wasteful and inept government policies, and much more. Always presenting thought-provoking pieces that ask us to question. First and foremost, Mr. Ruhala believes everything must be questioned, even his teachings, as he suggests to his students. Mr. Ruhala earned his Master of Arts degree by synthesizing theatre with epigenetics, neurology, positive psychology based on Abraham Maslow's work, and quantum physics. Holism is his passion. Making connections to everything is his desire - to glimpse how interrelated all is in our reality. More than any philosophy to follow, Ruhala feels the most pragmatic and realistic base of living emerges from mystery. All is a mystery. The fundamental questions of life are a mystery. By staying in the mystery, remaining inclusive of all, asking questions, challenging current paradigms, and feeling the interconnectedness of Life brings compassion and intelligence.
