For a summary of the different types of workshop, visit our workshop format page, or see below.
Both 1 day and Level 1 workshops open to all members of the public.
While 1 day workshops are primarily designed for those wanting to learn the exercises for their own personal use, all members of the public are also able to attend the Level 1 trainings in order to deepen their experience and understanding of TRE or to learn how to safely lead family and friends through the exercises.
Those seeking Level 1 certification to teach TRE to others on a professional basis are required to attend the 1 day training, followed by the 2 day Level 1 workshop. They will also have additional requirements on top of the 3 days of Level 1 training including journalling, reading, supervision and application fees. For full details of the additional requirements for Level 1 Certification, please visit ‘certification training’.
Attending local workshop as first day of level 1 training
As a 1 day event is the essentially the first day of 3 days of Level 1 training, it is possible to attend the 1 day event in your local city as the first of your 3 days of Level 1 training then only attend the 2nd and 3rd days of the Level 1 training within 6 months of your first day.
Precautions to performing TRE/attending workshops
Please contact Stephanie at info@traumarelease.co.nz if you have any concerns about your suitability to perform the TRE exercises in a workshop setting, such as severe physical injury or health conditions, mental health conditions requiring medication or if you are concerned about the way you may respond to the trauma release process.
Please note (as a precautionary measure only), pregnant women are not advised to perform the exercises but are suggested to attend in order to observe others and learn TRE so they can be used as soon as possible after birth.

Participants are required to bring a water bottle, wear loose comfortable clothing and bring a thick yoga mat and blankets to all workshops to comfortably lie on a wooden floor for up to 50 minutes. Morning and afternoon tea will be provided with BYO lunch or cafes/shops available nearby.

“Through your warmth, friendliness and openness, and the clarity and professionalism of your facilitation, you created a very safe environment in which we could allow ourselves to fully experience the exercises and tremors. Afterwards, I felt calm, relaxed, centred, grounded and my mind was still and peaceful (something that happens rarely!)”
Leigh Ford, Counsellor
