About Carol


Writer and editor Carol Rose was born in New York City, New York. She currently lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Carol has traveled to Israel, Denmark and to various communities in the United States to teach and facilitate workshops. She has an MA in Theology, from the University of Winnipeg, and a BA in Religious Studies as well as a Teaching Certificate from the University of Manitoba. She has also done additional graduate work in Cross-Cultural and International Education at the U of M.
 
Carol is a teacher of Colette Aboulker Muscat's method (perhaps the only one in Canada) and she has taught her work at the University of Winnipeg in a course entitled Harnessing The Imagination, as well as for Community Centers, Synagogues and at Interfaith Retreats, as well as and in private settings .

As co-editor of the anthology Spider Women; A Tapestry of Creativity & Healing, (J.Gordon Shillingford, Winnipeg, MB., l999), Carol wrote an article called Harnessing the Imagination, describing what imagery is, based on Colette’s work (and reviewed by Colette prior to publication). She is also the author of Behind The Blue Gate (Beach Holme Publishing, Vancouver, BC, l997), a poetry collection named in honor of that special place in Jerusalem where so many studied and were inspired by Colette. Some of those poems were written in Colette's home, in fact, behind (her well known) blue gate.

For the past several years Carol has taught imagery courses known as Rapture of the Deep or Encountering The One. In Fall 2007, Carol has taught courses offered through the the Jewish Community Center and at local Synagogues, as well as for CAJE in St. Louis, MO. Carol also uses imagery work, exclusively, in a private counseling practice she shares with her husband, Dr. Neal Rose.

In addition to her imagery work, Carol Rose is a writer, educator and counselor. She holds an MA in Theology, and degrees in Religious Studies & Education. Carol's poetry appears in several journals including: Prairie Fire, Dandelion, Other Voices, CVII, Parchment, Vox Feminarum, Vintage'96, Women's Education Des Femmes, Canadian Women's Studies, & Zygote.

Her essays appear in Canadian and American anthologies, including: Compassion & Forgiveness, Consciousness Rising, Women's Stories of Connection & Transformation, The Therapist's Notebook, Healing Voices, Living The Changes, World's of Jewish Prayer.

Carol is the mother of five children.
