LIVING UBUNTU SUMMER BODY GROUP

“I can’t keep pushing it away anymore”

Using TRE to heal the trauma of everyday living

When cognitive just isn’t enough
When intellectualizing has let me down
When optimism and positivity keep me trapped
When compartmentalizing no longer works

Hi everyone,

In 2004, when I was ruminating about global trauma and how our paradigm for healing could be different, I had the synchronous good fortune to meet Dr. David Berceli, someone already operating from that different paradigm I had been pondering.  He had created a method now referred to as Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE) and was using it to help people recover from cumulative and traumatic stress in many of the world’s worst conflict zones.

My own experience of learning and consistently practicing TRE had a profoundly healing impact on me.  As a long-term sufferer of PTSD, my symptoms were greatly reduced, I felt calmer than I knew was possible, and my capacity for tolerating stressful situations greatly increased.  Since then I have taught TRE to over 1000 individuals, and heard many stories of relief on account of it.

We focus on many things in Living Ubuntu, yet continue to emphasize recovering from trauma as part of our core mission.  Having said that, I am excited to let you know that this summer’s 6-session workshop series will focus on stress and trauma.

“I can’t keep pushing it away anymore”
Living Ubuntu Summer Body Group (July – Sept 2012)

We will be utilizing grounding exercises, talking about personal experiences and how and why the body often gets stuck in these experiences.  Additionally, the primary focus of the group will be the use of TRE for our own personal recovery.

All details are below and on our website.  To create a safe, secure space, we are limiting attendance to 10 people.  If there is any financial hardship, please get in touch with us.  We will gladly make arrangements to suit your situation.

Warmly,

Barbara English, Executive Director
