Ellen NEWHOUSEis a woman who knows how to laugh at life and herself, even, no especially, in difficult times. She marries heart-centered spirituality with her fierce warrior self in facing her own everyday challenges as well asteaching her patients and students how to do the same for themselves. She has earned this privilege through growing up in a family that was more war zone than idyllic home. As she states in her best selling memoir, Nothing Ever Goes On Here, “We were always on alert for the next bomb to explode.”
For the past 30 years, Ellen has been in private practice integrating Intuitive Coaching with Acupuncture, Sound Healing and Energy Medicine. She has also taught transformational workshops throughout the US and Mexico.
For the past year, Ellen has been performing the one-woman play, Nothing Ever Goes On Here in SEattle, and LA and was invited to open in NYC on 6/16th and Covid inconveniently circumvented that opening. However, Ellen has taken this as an opportunity to work on writing the next two books, 1 a self-helpish book and the other a continuation of the first memoir as well as writing new songs for her upcoming transformational entertainment evening, “Yes, You can! Say yes to yourself, yes to work and a life you LOVE“ coming to the world wide web soon!
Part of being an elder in men’s work is to pass the story and knowledge on. Paddy Murray lives in Deloraine, Tasmania. He is a counsellor and over several decades has been involved in a variety of men’s work that has included work with homeless men, behaviour change with domestic violence perpetrators, prisoners, and veterans. Paddy has taken part in several men’s gatherings and men’s groups around Australia. He is active in a global men’s network and leads an online men’s group that he started during the COVID-19 pandemic. He also teach sourdough bread making, grows vegetables and runs a flock of chickens. Paddy’s earlier professional training was as an economist which led to jobs in business and economic research.
Six years ago, Paddy wrote a basic resource for men’s groups. Then, in 2020, he connected with a global network of men and saw the need for a more comprehensive resource to guide the growing interest in men’s groups. There are several web sites with excellent information about running men’s groups, though not as detailed as this or as focused on leadership, ethics, and values. There is enough content in Paddy’s book for men to create training courses for leaders. Training needs to be experiential, and each trainer needs to adapt the material to the needs of the men involved. There are no formal associations or Universities that have courses or that create standards in this field. The standards and content in Paddy’s book are a start towards that.
