Essential Motion
Courses and Workshops
"We can dare to trust our intuition
and allow ourselves not to be governed
by the inner critic and doubter, but
rather to open to the surprises of
expression that dwell within us."
-- Karen Roeper

Sacred Garden Healing Center Seattle, WA
Learn the principles of Rosen Method and Essential Motion through demonstrations, lecture, personal sharing, hands-on experience, and movement.
This workshop is an opportunity for self-discovery—no prior experience is needed. The primary focus is Rosen Method, with an Essential Motion demo at the end of the weekend.
Rosen Method Bodywork
is unique in its use of gentle touch to meet chronic muscle tension and to facilitate
deep relaxation. Words are used to support and acknowledge the client’s process. By tuning into their body, the
client accesses feelings and life experiences. As habitual tension and unconscious patterns come into awareness,
the client has the possibility of experiencing more aliveness and greater ease in their body and in their way of life.
Essential Motion
uses movement—the language of the soul—to discover new ways of inhabiting one’s body. It
brings awareness to long-held patterns by learning to cultivate a deep dialogue between one’s body and
expressive movement.
This workshop is for professional training as well as personal growth;
beginners and experienced practitioners;
bodyworkers, dancers, counselors, social workers, health-care providers.

May 17-25, 2013
Rosen Method Cascadia Center, Roberts Creek BC.(near Vancouver)
ROSEN METHOD is conscious touch. A gentle, respectful, hands-on form of bodywork. Working with chronically tight muscles, Rosen Method Bodywork encourages physical and emotional awareness. In moments of deep relaxation, long held feelings and memories may surface and be spoken. Clients often become aware of choices they made early in life around which they have shaped their lives. When this awareness happens, they discover new possibilities for regaining freedom of movement and more authentic self-expression.
