Marion Rosen at 97: Finding a New Life Later in Life

Internationally-renowned somatics pioneer Marion Rosen founded her own work in the healing arts at age 56. Still working at 97, she is a model for aging gracefully, productively and powerfully. Her message about the healing power of touch has been carried to 15 countries as Rosen Method Bodywork and Movement. Marion is joined by Sara Webb and Mara Keller, who ask the audience: How do we revision our usefulness through the seasons of our lives? How do we become author of our life in the context of community? Benefits of touch for self-care and caring for others are addressed as participants learn simple hands-on techniques for relaxation. When tension is contacted with gentle touch, release leads to new freedom in our bodies and spirits
