Join Rosen teachers Gloria Hessellund and Meg Butler for an exploration of the body and psyche, as you learn to make contact and connection through touch. These two skillful colleagues will guide you on a special journey of inner discovery and somatic training.  Gloria Hessellund was part of the development of the early training programs with Marion Rosen, and she has many years of experience in training Rosen students worldwide. She will be co-teaching this intensive with Meg Butler, a longtime practitioner and teacher-in-training from Santa Barbara. This seven-day course will be held in Berkeley and is open to new and continuing students. A special reminder to Rosen interns and practitioners: If you are ready to continue your study of Rosen, this course is a rich source of ways to go deeper with clients and to renew your own relationship to the work. An application process and an interview are required for first-time participants to come into the training. Registrations are due by March 12, but students can still apply with a late fee of $50 after that. There is a non-refundable deposit of $250 for cancellation less than 2months before the start of the course.  

This summer the Residential Retreat is taking place at a new venue in Sonoma County in Penngrove, California. The teachers, Sara Webb and Cassie Scott, are continuing a tradition that Marion Rosen embraced — sharing Rosen Method in a beautiful setting surrounded by flowering gardens and rolling golden hills.
