Kim Rosen

Kim Rosen, MFA, has touched listeners around the world with poetry's power to awaken, inspire and heal. She is the author of "Saved By A Poem: The Transformative Power Of Words" (Hay House, 2009) and the co-creator of four CDs of spoken poetry and music, including "Only Breath", an interweaving of spoken poems of ancient and modern poets with the music of cellist/composer Jami Sieber. Combining her devotion to poetry with her background as a spiritual teacher and therapist, she gives "Poetry Concerts", inspirational lectures, and workshops throughout the U.S. and abroad.

Kim has a B.A. from Yale University and an M.F.A. in poetry from Sarah Lawrence College. For over twenty-five years, she has led trainings, workshops and retreats in the U.S., Canada, South America and the United Kingdom and has taught on the faculty of the Omega Institute, Wisdom University and the International Pathwork Foundation. She has given inspirational events in a variety of settings including concert halls, conferences, universities, corporations, retreats, hospices and juvenile lock-down facilities, often in collaboration with such musicians as Jami Sieber, Peter Kater, Ulali, Steve Gorn, Paul McCandless, David Darling, Chloe Goodchild and Gary Malkin.

As a facilitator of inner work for groups and individuals, Kim is a Pathwork Helper and a certified practitioner of the Breathwork and the Work of Byron Katie. In addition, her work is inspired by her training in Core Energetic Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Drama Therapy, and Hands-on Healing as well as her personal immersion in the teachings of Gangaji and other non-dual teachers.

Kim's CDs, "Only Breath", "The Fire And The Rose", "Vesica" (all with Jami Sieber), and "Naked Waters" (with Cathie Malach and Peter Kater), are innovative interweavings of spoken poetry and music. She was a consultant to Roger Housden in the writing of his popular books, "Ten Poems To Open Your Heart" (Harmony Books, 2002) and "Ten Poems To Set You Free" (Harmony Books, 2003). A recipient of the Robinson Jeffers Tor House Prize for Poetry, her work has been published in O Magazine, The Sun Magazine, Central Park, The Dickens, Eclipse and The Texas Review among others.
