Rosen Method UK
Introductory Workshops and Intensive Courses
“Every time I attend a Rosen intensive or workshop I grow and become more of the man I was born to be. Some of us, like myself, missed landmarks in our childhood development and this seems to be an opportunity to plug myself back into an empowering source and be open to change.”

Topics that are explored on introductory weekends or intensives:
- Touch and safe connection as an antidote to a stressful life,
- The relevance of the hormone oxytocin, the ‘feel-good’ hormone;
- The importance of self-care, being able to listen in to one’s own feelings and needs;
- Boundaries – what are our physical and personal boundaries? How do they manifest themselves in the physical body? And how can they do so with more ease and less tension?
- What is chronic muscle tension, and what is its connection to fatigue, tiredness and disassociation with feelings, emotions and past experiences?
- The purpose of muscle tension, the opportunity for greater range and relaxation.
- Understanding the natural breath and its relationship to the non-conscious.
- Experiential anatomy – how do we use our bodies and why? Expression and Suppression.
- How states of embodied being can lead to further integration of the body and mind;
- The importance of working with kindness, nonjudgement, self-acceptance and truthfulness;
- What is personal safety? How do you identify what it is to you and how it feels in the body?
- Creativity – accessing more of our genius ‘ah ha’ insights and vision.
Skills and knowledge that can be learned on a Rosen weekend or intensive include:
- A different approach to help people beyond patterns of ‘stuckness’, limitation and frozen movement or energy
- How our stories and unprocessed trauma live on in the body
- How tension and restricted breath impact our emotional life
- How the unconscious can be accessed through Rosen touch, offering the possibility of deep and lasting transformation
- The subtle use of language and dialogue to encourage authentic self-connection and expression
- Developing ‘presence’ as a practitioner and how this deeply impacts what happens in a session with clients/patients
- The refinement of observational and listening skills
