Greetings & Blessings Friends,
My cup is full and overflowing as I write to you. Newly inspired by the brilliant words of Barbara Marx Hubbard during Women of Wisdom last weekend. Barbara, nearing her 82nd birthday, radiates health, vitality, aliveness, heart, humor, and fully engaged, spirit filled senses. I fell in love with her immediately. Barbara is a futurist; I felt an immediate connection and recognition in her presence. Click Here to read what she's up to now, and, Check out her website, www.BarbaraMarxHubbard.com.
 I'm gathering, along with Oliver Bailey, and a group of Japanese and Indonesian students for The Art of Essential Touch, a Certification Training in Esalen® Massage & Bodywork.
While there, I'll be finalizing details for our Bali programs beginning, February 7.
It's time to begin making your plans to join me and Michael Hallock for Dancing on Land, in the Water and On The Table, immediately preceding our 10th Annual Esalen Certification Training.
Vinn Marti's programs is beginning to fill; time now to register to insure a room at Ananda.
New Years' Renewal at Esalen!! Begin 2012 with me and Tihikpas, and our faculty.
I close, taking a deep bow to each of you as your walk your path,
Go forth in Graditude,
Ellen

Word for the Day
"Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see..."
Mark Twain
"I shall pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again." Mahatma Gandhi
"I don't preach a social gospel; I preach the Gospel, period. The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is concerned for the whole person. When people were hungry, Jesus didn't say, "Now is that political or social?" He said, "I feed you." Because the good news to a hungry person is bread." Bishop Desmond Tutu
When Martin Luther was asked what he would do if the world would end tomorrow, he said "I would plant a tree today."
