Rosen
Method:
Accessing the Unconscious through Touch
Jane Malek at Esalen
What happens when you free the body and the mind? Humankind has pursued that unique possibility for thousands of years in numerous different ways. Here we offer you a path to that possibility by presenting hands that listen to and focus the body-mind connection at the internationally recognized Esalen retreat for personal growth.
Marion Rosen’s vision of Rosen Method Bodywork and Movement has brought her recognition as an international leader and originator in the field of body oriented therapies. At the heart of her wisdom is her keen sense of seeing the true essence of people that has often been hidden underneath chronic holding patterns. She has spent her life exploring these unconscious places through delicate touch. Now in her nineties, she continues to inspire and energize through her work. During her career as a physical therapist and health educator, she developed her unique approach to bodywork, movement, and self-transformation by observing the process of her patients.
In this workshop, we use the unique touch that Marion pioneered to access the emotional material held in the unconscious parts of our bodies. You will learn to deepen your awareness, observe the wisdom of the natural breath and experience living more from your personal truth.
The group process that this workshop provides, supports the opening to feelings that have long been put away as muscular tension. Rosen Method Movement helps you integrate feelings and physical changes that come up. The movements help you to remain vital and joyful while moving to music. We will explore how both modalities complement each other and emerge from the same theory.
The basic fundamentals of Rosen Method can be incorporated into your own self-development and can be applied to many professions.
Participants will learn to:
- Use hands that listen rather than manipulate
- Notice how chronic muscle tension is held in the body
- Use subtle changes in the breath to follow the relaxation process
- Allow unconscious feelings, attitudes and memories to emerge
- Open to new possibilities in life
