Trauma Release and Laughter - Summertime 2025

Liberate somatic stress and experience the magic of releasing tension and trauma in a fun and lighthearted way! 

Laugher and TRE® are activities that slow down mental activity, increase playful positivity and engages the body’s natural wisdom for self-healing and rebalancing. Bonding with others in an uplifting manner activates positive neuroplasticity in our brain, and it builds new neural pathways for feeling good.

This group experience promises to be transformative and playful; you’ll leave feeling uplifted, lighter, and more connected and resourced in your body….i.e. - LOVING YOURSELF MORE FULLY!

Some benefits of these combined practices:

• Release stress and tension from the body

• Free up stored energy and reclaim aliveness
• Decrease anxiety, aches and pain
• Improve sleep, mood & digestion
• Discharge emotional and physical trauma

TRE® is practiced by millions of people in over 90 countries. It is a series of simple exercises which assist the body in releasing deep patterns of stress, tension and trauma by inducing a gentle shaking response called neurogenic tremors. It is pleasant, effective and fun. Participants report immediate physical and emotional benefit, even from a single workshop.

LAUGHTER YOGA is a powerful practice of intentional laughter exercises, coupled with breathing and playful movements to invite joyful connection with self and others. Through eye-contact and childlike playfulness, simulated laughter in a group, becomes real and contagious. Joyful embodiment anchors the energy of Laughter Yoga, offering positive rewiring to the brain and body, shifting mental and emotional states to more joy.
