Ellen Bintz Meuch has been a Veriditas trained facilitator since 2001 and initially focused her labyrinth energy on work with inmates. Her passion is helping those who are incarcerated to find healing and to move forward with their lives. That work has led her to collaborate with her dear friend, Mary Long, who lost her son to gun violence on the South side of Chicago in 2012. Together they have created a nonprofit organization called Sacred Ground.

She was a founding member of the Veriditas Council serving from 2004-2018. In 2005 she created the Global Healing Response, a project of unified healing in the face of emergencies, disasters and community crisis using the labyrinth’s circle of facilitators and enthusiasts. She is fascinated with the study of intention energy and collective consciousness as it pertains to global healing potential.

Ellen resides in Wheaton, Illinois, is the mother of four grown children and works in her family business during the day. She fills her spare time training for triathlons, open water swimming and needlework.
