If you’re looking to have a day trip out of the city (or town) to treat yourself some relaxation, learning and awe - consider this one.
On Saturdays in August, we welcome small groups (up to 4) for an in-person introductory workshop to TRE® (Tension and Trauma Release Exercises) - a somatic exercise which helps you release deeply held patterns of tension and stress and regulate your nervous system. We are located in the City of Kawartha Lakes in a historic single room school house in the country under the cover of century old maple trees - the drive out here will be the start to your day, arrive anytime after 9:30am.
At 10am, we’ll start with a tea ceremony and education about the window of tolerance and the autonomic nervous system and the tremoring mechanism and you’ll be gently guided into the practice of neurogenic tremoring.
We’ll wrap up with plenty of time for questions and journaling, self reflection, and grounding by noon.
Then we’ll head over to an incredible 1350 acre Buddhist temple which just opened about 10 min away from Nusqool - the Wu Tai Shan Buddhist Garden - it’s the largest single Buddhist complex outside of China and recently opened in May 2024 and we can visit one of the 5 Manjusri Buddha platforms, Wisdom Lake, and the Main Buddha Hall.
The tour will end at about 1pm and you can choose your own adventure after that. There is a vegetarian restaurant should you choose to have lunch there.
This half day retreat will cost $55/person (open to sliding scale and energy exchanges). If you have any questions and/or if you want to do it at a different date/time, please reach out.
About Thu & TRE®
You can read more about TRE® on the official website or listen to my teacher’s podcast.
I am a certified TRE® provider and somatic coach. I found this modality in 2018 while working through pelvic floor issues, uterine cancer, and adverse childhood experiences and it was life changing and continues to support me in my healing journey as well as my clients. It’s not just about tension and stress release, but it has been foundational in my journey through C-PTSD and has supported a level of safety and nervous system regulation necessary for my transformational journeys through psychedelics, breathwork, and spirituality.
I’m so passionate about sharing not just the knowledge but the practice - if this sounds like something you’re curious about, please do consider coming! If it’s not accessible to make it to Nusqool, I also offer 2 hour virtual intros. Please get in touch.
