Who May Benefit

We extend our warm invitation to anyone interested in conscious touch to experience private sessions and participate in Circles, Workshops and Intensives.

Bodyworkers, massage therapists, physical therapists, psychotherapists, social workers, hospital and home care nurses, hospice workers, doctors, clergy, and all health care providers also experience personal and professional benefits from this work.

We recommend that you enter the work for your own development first. Should you discover through this process that Rosen Method is your calling, all your attendance at Workshops and Intensives will be credited towards your Certification.

"...In the end you will always have to return to the body, where the essential work of transformation takes place. Transformation is through the body, not away from it.
...Do not turn away from the body, for within that symbol of impermanence, limitation, and death ...is concealed the splendor of your essential and immortal reality. Do not turn your attention elsewhere in your search for the Truth, for it is nowhere else to be found."

- Eckhart Tolle
