Shake and Share Circle - Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®)

Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®) is a simple yet profound practice that enables us to access a natural reflex in the body that's felt as tremoring, shaking or vibration. This reflex releases stress, tension and trauma through embodiment, connection and movement.

This Shake and Share Circle includes an introduction to TRE and space to explore your own practice, alongside a held sharing space where we can slow down and witness each other in our humanness. Nothing to fix, only an invitation to listen with gentle awareness.

All levels of TRE® experience are welcome, including both those completely new to the practice or seasoned shakers.

Sunday 6 September 4 - 6pm
Abuelita's, Hackney Downs Studios, E8 2BT

Why try TRE®?
TRE is fun, restorative and nourishing for our nervous systems. Whilst shaking is generally misunderstood or pathologised, they're actually a 'missing link' for recovery from stress or trauma. They give us a doorway to meeting and engaging with deeper parts of our physiology and find resolution by following our body's innate intelligence.

TRE can:

• Allow the body to release old stuck defense strategies and turn down ‘over-protective’ reflexes

• Activate the vagus nerve and regulates the nervous system

• Reduce tension from within the muscles and fascia

• Promote feelings of safety, connection and groundedness

• Improve mood, sleep, digestion, pain, and emotional regulation and relationships

Once learnt, you have this amazing practice you can continue to engage with and support you for life!

Advisory Info (please read before booking!)

All participants must be over 18 years old.

All levels are welcome, from regular shakers to those completely new to TRE. We will be learning a set of 7 simple exercises that are designed to gently fatigue and stretch big muscle groups so we can reconnect to the tremor reflex.

A group class is not recommended for anyone 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). It is recommended to initially work in private sessions.

This group is not suitable if you are currently pregnant. If you have had a recent operation, surgery or experienced a serious injury, it is best to allow yourself a minimum of 3 or more months to recover before doing TRE.
