Re-imagining your relationship to touch, presence and the Rosen Method
October 5th @ 9am PDT/ 18h CEST
Vehbija Peksin is a Rosen Method bodywork practitioner and a co-founder of the Balkan Rosen Method school. A practitioner for 18 years, Vehbija initiated the first Rosen Method courses in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2004.
As a person with impaired sight, Vehbija represents a minority in the Rosen Method professional community. He has a unique perspective and relationship to the Rosen Method that he will be sharing during an interview with Annika Minnbergh, senior Rosen Method teacher and longtime colleague and friend of Vehbija.
Join us on October 5th for an opportunity to re-imagine your relationship to touch, self-awareness, presence and the Rosen Method. Vehbija hopes his experience can help Rosen Method professionals to enhance and hone additional capabilities to deepen their understanding of Rosen Method practice and their awareness and presence when working with clients. As Vehbija expresses:
“I would like [people with impaired sight] to be better understood and accepted, so that more people with impaired sight would attend Rosen Method courses and be accepted as clients…Rosen Method has helped me a lot to find my inner peace, so I want to point to the importance of the Rosen Method as an independent vocation, and/or complementary form to other vocations such as: physiotherapy, medicine, rehabilitation, psychology and more. I look forward to sharing my personal experiences and practical examples to bring more awareness and knowledge to the RM community”
