Mimpi-Menjangan Resort •  Bali, Indonesia

 In the healing hot springs of Mimpi-Menjangan Resort, Ellen and Michael invite you to explore Touching Essence through the art forms of Healing Dance,  Esalen® Massage & The 5Rhythms.  Eliciting the Relaxation Response though non-verbal communication with the para-sympathetic nervous system is the common ground of both Ellen's and Michael's approach to healing.

In the sanctuary of Mimpi, the natural world supports each of us in letting go of our day to day, fast-paced lives and wrapping ourselves in the arms of our Creator, whose Presence is palpable.  Mimpi means dreams in bahasa Indonesia. You'll experience an enhanced dream life while both asleep and awake when in residence at the haven that is Mimpi.

Evolving over the last 50 years to the rhythms of the mighty Pacific,  Esalen® Massage brings the essence of fluid movement to the table.  Inspired and informed by Esalen® Massage, Ellen's form,  Touching Essence,  focuses on enhancing ones' capacity to tolerate pleasure.

Through the rhythms of flowing and stillness, Ellen invites you to melt under her loving touch, surrender to the support of the table, and experience exquisite moments of Holy Communion.   Healing Dance,  Michael's  form of Aquatic Bodywork, inspired by Watsu and Water Dance, wraps each of us,  as if in the arms of the goddess...hearts open, nervous systems relax, bodies become free of holding and tension....spontaneous healing occurs. Poetry in Motion is an appropriate description for this invitation to spend time at Mimpi, one of Bali's best kept secrets.
