“I LOVE offering residential retreats and trainings at Mimpi, Menjangan. The hot springs, the light of a soft morning sunrise, bird song, stunning salmon sunsets, the ocean & lagoon, the pools, the 24/7 hot springs…Mimpi is our sanctuary. 

Our Somatic Arts practices are best offered in remote locations,
​wrapped in the arms of Mother Nature’s embrace."

Ellen shares her love and appreciation of Nada Yoga or The Yoga of Sound. Ellen recognized the power of sound during her 30 years of practicing massage & movement arts at Esalen, to the rhythms of the mighty Pacific, or to the rush of Hot Springs Creek….or in the silence of the back country. During Fluidity & Focus Ellen will share sounds for the 8 chakras, important mantras, healing songs & chants from various traditions.
