Rosen Method pragmatic details

mattlistener-First Rosen workshop I can make is 9/30, a residential in Rosendale(!) New York. I'm planning to attend.
-As an established bodyworker, I can skip doing an intro workshop and go straight to the one above if I get three Rosen sessions. Newton may be the closest I can find a practitioner. I'll do it if I have to, but that's a bad sign for me, because...
-After the first year students have to do monthly supervision and receive Rosen sessions twice monthly. That's enough trips to Newton that it might put me in car-buying territory.
-The whole process will probably take 4 years since I'll be working at least part-time. (3 years is the minimum.) Costs not counting travel add up to $20K. Starting in the 3rd year I could start charging a fee for Rosen sessions I offer (advertising myself as an intern).
-That's assuming they relax the required psychotherapy sessions. They require *weekly* body-oriented psychotherapy sessions for a one-year stretch, and biweekly outside that while in training. The director of Rosen Center East has said those requirements are "probably negotiable" in cases of already-trained professionals -- they're designed to account for people who are completely green and have never worked with clients or received therapy sessions before. If I want to continue after the first workshop I'll see if I can get some negotiated requirements spelled out in writing.
