What would it be like for men to learn respectful touch with each other? Going beyond fears, beyond competition, beyond violence, sexuality, or otherwise loaded comparisons?

The explosion of research in neuroscience confirms the importance of touch and contact for human development and well-being—for regulating our emotions and our physiology. The Rosen Method uses receptive touch and verbal dialogue to assist people in opening to long-forgotten experiences and emotions, and to release unconscious limiting beliefs and negative ideas about the self stored in the body. Experience the healing power of mindfulness in the body.

This workshop is for men. Rosen Method Bodywork benefits those who want greater physical health, emotional aliveness, connection to the body, and a sense of ease in being who you really are. In this introductory workshop, we discuss and practice the principles of Rosen Method, including a demonstration of this work and time for partnering to experience how we use receptive touch to support deepening our awareness of self. CEUs are available.
