STANLEY ROSENBERG
THOR PHILIPSEN
with host DR. CONNIE CORLEY
Stanley Rosenberg has been a pioneer in the field of body-mind therapies. He was one of the first cranio-sacral therapists, the first therapist trained as a Rolfer in Denmark, and he has trained with some of the greatest osteopaths and energy practitioners of the last fifty years. He has also developed his own unique methods of face-lifting massage, breath training, and acting. He developed applications of the Polyvagal Theory, and has taught with Stephen Porges in Denmark and the USA. He will be taking precious time away from his professional work at the Stanley Rosenberg Institute in Denmark to be with us. His book is entitled, Accesing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve: Self-Help Exercises for Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and Autism.
Thor Philipsen has a BA in psychomotricity therapy, which is a practical method of applying psychological theories and the understanding of the physiology of the nervous system into therapeutic group exercises/movements/games and hands-on therapy. He wrote his thesis on the Polyvagal Theory in relation to an approach in the treatment of autism. He has practiced and taught martial arts for 30+ years. Twenty years ago he began learning massage and traditional herbal medicine. His journey took him to the Stanley Rosenberg Institute, where he studied with Stanley and his guest teachers for 17 years. He says, “I have had the pleasure of having Stanley as my mentor for almost half my life.” In the last few years, he studied at the European School of Osteopathy and has been a guest teacher several times at the SriSri University in Cuttac, India, conducting the M.Sc. education in osteopathy. He has also taught yoga for the Art of Living Foundation for more
than a decade and has been doing hands-on work with autistic kids at a municipal foster home.
Stanley Rosenberg and Thor Philipsen will be in the Los Angeles area, and in North Carolina, teaching the science and application of Polyvagal Theory. The workshop is called ACCESSING THE HEALING POWER OF THE VAGUS NERVE. They will be joined by Judith Johnson in the Los Angeles area on June 21st – 25th, and in Asheville, June 28th – July 2nd.
