I am particularly blessed this year to be sharing my love of Esalen, The 5RhythmsTM, and the ways of the Native American Tribe, The Esselen. Along with my daughter-sister-peer-teacher Lucia, I'll be joined by my great good friend, TiHik Pas to offer a Sweat Lodge, Salt Scrub, Herbal Bath, and Healing Circle on the ceremonial grounds of the Esselen Tribe. And, we will share a meal together, in Huxley, the studio in which The 5Rhythms were developed. Are we not blessed?
Sincerely,
Ellen Watson
 
Treat everyone you meet as if he or she were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness, and understanding you can muster, and do so with no thought of reward. Your life will never be the same. Og Mandino |
COME, Eat, Pray, Love, Sing, Dance, SERVE, GIVE, SERVE, Touch, Play, Teach, Learn, Hike, Bike, Swim, Snorkel...in Bali with me and the MovingVentures Team.
Rose, Carl, and Holly have all been helping me with getting the info on MV's site up to date, clear, accurate, and user friendly. Another team has collaborated in creating a new home page design, with logo. I have enjoyed creating visual images with Heather and Alex through designing logos and print media. I look forward to sharing the magic of Bali with Alex and Heather who are joining our programs in Bali between March and June. This year, I'm particularly pleased with our Feb-March programs at Mimpi. The four week series is designed for bodyworkers, yoga teachers, and other somatic artists, who want to enhance their skills while on retreat at a stunning eco, world class snorkel and scuba center, complete with hot mineral springs baths, and a stunning natural Spa. Ketut Astawa, GM of Mimpi has graciously worked with me in creating programs that allow those on a budget to become 'workscholars'. If you are interested in becoming a workscholar, please write to:
SERVICE IN BALI: MovingVentures works in close affiliation with several service organizations: If you are interested in offering your skills, time, energy and talent to those in need, please write to Holly@MovingVentures.org. Holly will direct you to the organizations we support. Please be aware that Indonesia is a developing country; outside the areas developed by tourism, people live very simply, and have great needs in the area of education, vocation, self care, child care, nutrition, how to live with plastic, etc. A number of our participants, who've been touched by our service visits to these NGO's, return to spend extended periods of time volunteering. Vacations as service.

Join me in Charleston, SC from January 6-26.
I am eager to welcome you to Seeking Indigo and The Sophia Institute.
I will be offering seasonal observances, meditations, and celebrations of auspicious days in both the Celtic and Anglican calendars. Charleston is a delightful, charming old city, deeply steeped in history, filled with delightful cuisine and is, under the visionary guidance of Carolyn Rivers and Kathryn Peters, becoming a destination for inspiring programs and retreats.

To be alive in this beautiful, self-organizing universe -- to participate in the dance of life with senses to perceive it, lungs that breathe it, organs that draw nourishment from it; is a wonder beyond words. Joanna Macy
Kundalini Yoga, Water Dance, The 5Rhythms, Dancing With Rumi, Soul Song, Breath & Soundwork, NIA for early Morning Risers, Pranayama and Nada Yoga
What do these practices have in common? Each and all are highly effective catalyzers of energy, of opening and spinning chakras, of supporting your return to childlike spontanenity and bliss, of developing personal power, clarity of vision, and focus. I'm tickled pink to collaborate with Davida, Daphna and Daphne for three programs that feature Conscious Dance. Please join me and the three Divine Divas for this series. We will do all possible to fit this into your budget.
These programs accrue hours toward the 2012 Facilitators' Training. More on that program to follow.
A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words. Donna Roberts | |
