TRE is based on the growing scientific understanding that all trauma is a byproduct of fear that is triggered by self-perceived threats or danger.
Using a series of exercises that target specific muscles throughout your body, TRE brings deeply held trauma to the surface where it can be released through your natural reflexes...
... while also assisting in rebooting the brain patterns that trigger fear and pain responses, providing a sense of mental and emotional safety as you move through the world.
Steve will gently teach you how to fully experience the sensations in your body and not be consumed by your thoughts about those feelings.
Once you learn TRE, he affirms, it’s as comforting as rocking gently in a rocking chair or swinging peacefully in a hammock on a lazy afternoon.
He’ll also share the modern science and ancient roots of TRE — from its role in the animal kingdom and natural world to the dance practices of the mystics.
With a background in yoga, Shiatsu, and biodynamic craniosacral therapy, Steve’s integrative approach to TRE has helped thousands around the world shake out of overactive fight-or-flight patterns and into their natural, joyous state.
During the event, you’ll also learn more about Steve’s upcoming 7-week course on how to optimize and sustain your health on all levels of your being with integrated TRE — for a life of freedom, ease, and joy.
