Hola friends,
Last call for the 4 week Tension & Trauma Release Exercise (TRE) class series. We begin tomorrow!

TRE teaches you how to release stored nervous system and Myofascial tension in your body.

Like a shaking meditation, the practice teaches you how to safely activate an innate reflexive tremoring response, inviting the same release process that we see in animals in the wild who "shake it off," after experiencing a threatening event.

It is fascinating, relaxing and amazing self-regulation to calm, settle and come into a more relaxed state of being.

Fridays 10/11 - 11/1
12pm CT, 11am MT, 1pm ET

A bit more orientation to the practice:

TRE® is an innovative series of exercises that assist in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma held in the body, a modality that was developed by Dr. Berceli (a bodyworker, social worker and field traumatologist). More specifically, it is a physical practice that activates a natural reflex mechanism of vibration deep within the body. This sustained vibration or shaking response allows the body and the nervous system to be calmed, safely restoring a grounded sense within the body, while calming down the nervous system. TRE® is based on the fundamental idea, backed by recent research, that stress, tension and trauma is both psychological and physical. The reflexive muscle vibrations in TRE® generally feel pleasant and soothing. And after doing TRE®, many people report feelings of peace and well-being.

TRE® is a form of therapeutic shaking, a practice that teaches people how to safely activate an innate reflexive tremoring response, inviting the same release process that we see in animals in the wild who "shake it off," after experiencing a threatening event. As distinguished (though related) from dance, Tai Chi or Qi Gong exercises that invite participants to consciously shake, TRE guides participants through a series of simple movement exercises that open a gateway whereby an automatic or more reflexive shaking response can occur. This is most effectively done with the safety and support of a trained facilitator.

Friends,

03/04/2024

We begin again in May.
This is the last class series I will be offering in Austin (before i move to NM this summer!), so git it while it's hot! (but I'll def be back for visits next year & will offer classes then).

This work is so dear to my heart, it's radical and wild, gentle and nuanced and everything in between. An amazing space for dancers and performers to explore the edges & depth of practice.

And - so incredible for non trained dancers to be welcomed into the supportive and warm space of personal embodied exploration of movement with zero expectations!
With complete acceptance of what gestures, movements, shapes & feelings arise.

This form is strong. It can hold it all. Joy, sorrow, rest, rage, unfolding choreographic and psychic worlds. It is both therapeutic and deeply satisfying artistically.

Entanglements:Spring Authentic Movement (Contemplative Dance) Series / 8 WEDNESDAYS / 7-8:30PM / 5/8-7/3 / $200
*** Please Register by 4/17 for the series (price goes up a bit after that).

Hola friends,
if you are curious about Authentic Movement (aka Contemplative Dance), I'm offering a drop-in session for new folks before the longer series begins. Check it out if you have been hankering to join us but weren't able to make the Spring series!

An expressive, contemplative, embodied, liberative movement/dance exploration.

We move with eyes closed listening for inner impulse in the presence of a kind and attuned witness.

We then take time to digest what happened.

We then share/ remember/ digest the dance/movement with each other.

It's a powerful and pleasurable practice!
