MEET
JUDITH
RUBINGER

Judith believes that every person deeply desires, needs and deserves to fulfill his/her unique purpose and that it is the nature of the spirit to move towards this recognition and attain true happiness.

She believes that once a person discovers the vision of his/her perfect life, and defines that vision with clarity, amazing things begin to happen.

She believes that every human being is entitled to complete the mission of his soul – and that it is in aligning one’s physical reality with the truth of his spirit that a sense of wholeness is created.

Judith Rubinger believes that our “mistakes” or the times we have “missed the mark” are actually stepping-stones to even greater achievements. Trusting in the innate wisdom of the universe, we see that creation and all of life is good, that the physical body is good and worthy of our respect and care. Life is a gift and we can all realize the opportunity each of us has to become truly amazing.

"Judith Rubinger is extraordinarily gifted as an actress, writer and creative thinker. I've observed her closely in all of these roles, most recently as an essayist/contributor to my new book Shakespeare Plays the Classroom. As the director of The Young Company, Judith's enormous talent, energy and dedication in turning scores of troubled teens around was nothing short of miraculous. Why? Talent as a teacher. . . . a sincere and authentic interest in their well being, an ability to listen carefully and to respond honestly, and a willingness to make no assumptions about what any one individual could or could not achieve. . .
