This workshop is designed to provide space to explore TRE®.  This body based practice safely activates a natural reflex mechanism of shaking, or vibrating, that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system.  When this shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance.
