Full Moon Greetings to My Friends on the Path,
Blessed I am to write you from Bali, living close to the earth, dining nightly, as the sun sinks into the Bali Sea, the moon and stars rise high into the night sky. Equatorial locations have little seasonal shifts in time of sunrise/set, and the warm tropical breezes kiss bronzed skin throughout the year. Have I enticed you yet to join me here in Feburary, March or April for our outstanding Movement and Somatic Arts Programming? Vinn Marti, Mark Whitwell, Daphne Tse, Mark Whitwell, Maria Alfaro, Daphna Dor, Vicki Topp, along with members of MV's Indonesian faculty, Momo Blackpearl, Yasmin Muridan, Rony Andres. Early bird registration still possible throughout November.
 Other news...Come to Esalen, begin your new year with me and Tichkpas for our New Years' Renewal Retreat. We enter 2012 through the honoring of Native American spirituality. Called animists (All of life is animate with Spirit or all of nature and creatures in it are made alive with the spirit of our Creator), we join native people from around the globe in ancient wisdom practices. Tihikpas, love in motion, softens my sharper edges, brings great humor, wisdom and a life well led to our circle; register now to insure a bed at Esalen for beginning 2012 with us. Click here to register.
As the approaching Winter Solstice brings darkness, allow yourself to journey inward, inquiring what's waiting to be birthed in 2012. Allow visions and dreams to appear, for manifestation in the coming year. There's a paradigm shift afoot in the universe, especially on our planet Earth, and you are an integral part of it. The world is waiting for leaders to appear who articulate a vision for humanity to which the only answer is "YES' . Occupy and Embody a new "YES" for humanity. You are the one we are waiting for.
Sat, Chit, Anand,
Ellen |

Education, One of the Greatest Gifts We Can
Offer to Another Person!
Particularly to our Indonesian friends. In Indonesia, education is provided by the government through the fifth grade. Further education is expensive and located in the cities. Most people cannot afford to send their children to school after the fifth grade.
Please consider donating to MovingVentures during the coming months. Your donations to MV, a 501c3, charitable educational organization are fully tax deductible. We have graduated to date, over 80 Indonesians from our Esalen® Massage & Essential Touch trainings.
