Join us for an intimate, three-day retreat exploring the essence of Rosen Method somatic bodywork. Whether you're an intern on the certification track or a newcomer deeply affected by the Rosen Method, this retreat offers a rich opportunity for introspection and growth. 

Set in the serene, rural backdrop of Julia's private home and guest house, we will delve into the paradoxes of the practice—balancing the desire to help or heal with the directive to not fix, and embracing non-judgmental presence while navigating our own thoughts and wisdom.  Over the course of the retreat, we will practice giving and receiving Rosen touch, engage in experiential dyads, Rosen bodywork demos, inspiring discussions and group process circles. We will deepen our listening skills, learning to distinguish between stories and present experience. We will explore how to use talking to acknowledge the truth in ourselves and others and how and when to confront what is not genuine.  We will learn to lean into and expand the whisper of possibilities present as well as build our tolerance for vulnerability and uncertainty. Finally, we will examine the challenge of honoring one’s own inner responses while exploring the difference between intuition and projection. Through these practices, we will deepen our ability to be present with clients, fostering an environment where they can meet themselves, and sometimes discover new possibilities.

By embracing introspection, paradox and the flow of presence this retreat offers a unique space to refine your approach to bodywork and deepen your connection to both your practice and yourself.

This learning supports all therapeutic modalities, and is appropriate for psychotherapists, bodyworkers, and anyone interested in somatic approaches to personal growth and healing.
