Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE) are a series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension, and trauma. Dr. David Berceli developed TRE in the late 1980s while researching how trauma occurs in the human organism. Regardless of how trauma is experiences, trauma expresses itself in the body. Those experiences are stored in the body until they find a way to be released. Most exercises are designed to release surface level tension. TRE, although simple and painless, are specifically designed to release the deep chronic muscular contractions created by trauma. TRE employs the natural mechanisms of the body to dissolve chronic tension.

ACUPUNCTURE | Practiced in China and other Asian countries for thousands of years, acupuncture is a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Acupuncture involves stimulating specific points along meridians to help provide relief from ailments that affect the body and mind. This medical practice brings balance to the autonomic nervous system and restores balance and regulation to the sense of inner disorganization created by chronic or acute mental and / or physical stress. Acupuncture has the ability to promote and restore the balance of energy which flows throughout the body. This flow of energy creates states of deep relaxation and aids the body in rejuvenation.

YOGA NIDRA | or yogic sleep, is an ancient practice that allows for deep relaxation between waking consciousness and dreaming consciousness. It is accomplished through specific techniques that allow the mind and body to reach a state of bliss. The practice moves through the layers of the subtle body (or the koshas) to achieve its goal of deep rest. The superconscious state of yoga nidra helps us to heal and reintegrate these layers as they become displaced by the traumas we experience in our lives.

The tradition of dinacharya (daily routine) is one of the single most powerful Ayurvedic tools for improving overall health and well-being. Dinacharya helps to create balance during the changes in doshas (humors), which occur naturally throughout the cycles of the day and with each season. The concept of having a daily routine is at the heart of an Ayurvedic lifestyle. A daily routine invites health, vitality, and a sense of clarity into our lives. Adopting an appropriate daily routine is undoubtedly one of the most grounding and nurturing things you could do for yourself. The activities included in dinacharya include cleansing, massage, exercise, study, meditation and yoga. The morning Ayurvedic practices of dinacharya are intended to both calm and energize the body, preparing the practitioner for the day ahead. The evening ones are to help the practitioner relax before sleep. Although the dinacharya practices are thousands of years old, advocates of Ayurveda say they are as beneficial in the modern lifestyle as ever before.

In this workshop, we'll explore Ayurveda's general recommendations for nutrition during the winter season. Each season ushers in a unique set of qualities that can either pacify or aggravate the inner workings of your being. By adapting your diet and lifestyle to better accommodate the changing seasons, you can drastically reduce the likelihood of any seasonally induced imbalances and the same strategies will gently coax your body back toward its natural state of equilibrium.

Together we will...
- Learn Ayurveda's core concepts about winter and nutrition.
- Discover how your unique constitution interacts with the season.
- Create herbal infusions to use at home in your own kitchen.
- Gather the tools and information to create a support system for empowerment of your own healthy practice.

“Our digestion fluctuates with changes in weather, season, and other needs. Energy is never static—it flows, ripples, and swirls in rhythms and cycles that we may perceive as harmonic or chaotic—but the constant movement of energy gravitates toward one universal state: balance. . . . Balance runs on two tracks—avoiding irritants and favoring the things that support your balance.”
