TRE, often referred to as a shaking therapy or a shaking meditation is a very simple, yet very powerful process. It helps to release stress, deep patterns of tension and trauma stored in the body.

It is a somatic (body based) approach aiming to expand whatever is held and contracted and to regulate the nervous system so that “survival mode” can be switch off and the relaxation and restoration can occur.

TRE is a gentle practice that not only helps us release but also promotes embodiment, enhances body awareness and increases the sense of presence and aliveness.

The benefits of TRE are many (listed below) - some are noticeable straight away but many others come as a result of regular practice. This workshop is an introductory to TRE, and we run 4 week courses. The aim of 4 week course is for you to befriend the tremors so that after we complete you will be able to confidently take TRE on as a self directed practice (please check our timetable for upcoming dates).

Benefits of regular TRE practice:

• less worry and anxiety
• less pain and tension
• improved sleep, mood and digestion
• more mental clarity
• ability to deeply relax
• improved relationships

WHAT TO WEAR - something loose and comfortable that won't restrict your movement. We will be doing some light exercises and stretches. There are changing facilities at the venue.

TRE group class might not be the most suitable setting for people with severe trauma, PTSD, CPTSD, burnout and serious health conditions or those who find it very challenging to self-regulate (unable to calm down when emotionally distressed).*
