Although theater exercises have been used in psychology for over a century, these practices have not “returned to their source”–spirituality–for the benefit of spiritual evolutionaries. Modern acting techniques, tracing their roots to Constantin Stanislavski, and improv techniques, such as those developed by Viola Spolin, are well …
