Who We Are
The Rosen Method Open Center is a team of teachers and practitioners who
share the same intention to serve our current communities and offer training in new communities.
We live in different parts of the country and come together to teach
Workshops and Intensives in different states. We started teaching in North
Carolina in 1998. Since then we have expanded our programs to Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts, and New York state. We are open to teaching where we are
called.

Certified Minister of Body Mind Therapy
Certified Yoga Teacher
I was born and raised in France where I completed my MA in Clinical Psychology.
In 1971, I went to India and had a Kundalini awakening, through direct
touch that changed my life and the focus of my quest. I landed in my body
and realized its sacredness as the locus of the divine within. I would
spend the next 12 years deepening this initial experience steeped in the
practices of meditation, yoga, chanting, and Indian and Sufi dance. Eventually
I needed to integrate the teachings of western psychology with the body's
revelations. That is when I moved to Berkeley, California where I encountered
what I was looking for: Rosen Method bodywork and movement. Since 1989,
I have been in private practice in Berkeley, CA, and since 1996 I have
been teaching Rosen Method programs in the US and Europe. Along with Rosen
Method, I continue to practice meditation, yoga, Continuum movement and
dance to stay connected to the inner Self.

In the mid-seventies I began exploring the body-emotion-mind connection
through Release Technique, Vipassana meditation and Contact Improvisation.
I also discovered Rosen Method and moved to Berkeley to complete the Rosen
Training. For the last 17 years I have had a full-time Rosen
Method practice in New York City. I teach monthly practicums, supervise
interns and am apprenticing with Odile Atthalin to become a senior teacher.
I am also a Rosen Method Movement teacher and a mother. My work is
nourished by my love of the dharma and my experience of the possibility for
people to transform through receiving kind touch and close attention.

Certified Rosen Method Bodywork Practitioner
When I began as a Rosen practitioner in Northampton MA ten years ago, my
previous career had been as a visual artist and art instructor. Over time, I
have come to appreciate how Rosen Method and art are two similar ways of
knowing. Like any creative discipline, Rosen Work develops focus for staying
with each moment of feeling. Being a co-teacher gives me an occasion to
deepen my faith in the value of the practice of awareness. It is gratifying
to be able to be with people as they experience the field of spaciousness
that we all share. I feel fortunate to contribute to the Open Center's
efforts in advancing this transformative work.

Certified Rosen Method Bodywork Practitioner
I am a filmmaker as well as a Rosen Practitioner, and my background includes
a B.A. in the Humanities from Yale University and an M.F.A in Filmmaking
from NYU. I take great delight in the ability of the Rosen Method to dissolve
the ways in which many of us are denied our creativity and fullness of
heart by old patterns of fear and hurt. I am also deeply interested in
exploring issues of otherness, including the effects of racial, cultural
and class differences, and the impact of mental illness. It is a joy to
touch and be touched in this profound and nourishing way.
