I’m happy to report that our Rosen Method community is growing. We have a new Introductory Workshop Teacher, Ann Harnish, who, along with our Intern Priscilla Varland, has recruited enough students to start a new monthly support group. I’ve learned a lot in the process. We asked the last group of workshop students how Rosen […]
Hi everybody. Today, I am home by my wood stove as our winter storm continues. We already have 22 inches, and I’m not going anywhere. I have not added a word to my blog in about a year, with the excuse of busy-ness. Today, no excuses. I’ve been asking myself, why the silence all this […]
Last week, my colleague Ivy Green and I taught a Rosen Method Bodywork intensive together. Those who attended are calling it “amazing,” “transformational,” and “so safe!” I’ve been contemplating what “safe” means, and how to create a safe environment for learning and personal growth. “Growth” is a weak word for what we do.

By now, I am getting mighty tired of hearing people attribute their symptoms to “stress,” as if that […]
Get your mind, body back together from the Democrat and Chronicle, May 12, 1998 When I was very little, I drew the human figure as a large circle enclosing other circles, dots and lines representing eyes, nose and mouth. Perpendicular lines stuck out of the bottom of the large circle; these were legs. At […]
“Just Touch Them” by Anais Salibian In June of 1995, I had an experience that radically changed my life. I was attending a week-long workshop on Rosen Method Bodywork and, after three years of training, I finally experienced this mysterious thing my teachers had been talking about: landing in my body. I remember getting […]
Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand, that this, too, was a gift. –Mary Oliver For me, this season is about the light–the movement of light, how it goes and comes, reliably. For millennia, we humans have known this […]
In the last post, I gave two reasons to slow down: 1.) to actually get to feel and enjoy your aliveness and 2.) to have a choice about how to respond in the present moment. The third reason is that you can actually change how your brain is wired if you slow down and take […]
