TRE® is an innovative series of exercises that assist in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma held in the body.
It is a somatic process that invites a kind of therapeutic shaking or tremoring that activates the same release process we see in animals in the wild who "shake it off" after experiencing a threatening event.
TRE - tension & release exercise is a safe way to release stress held in your nervous system.
Join us for 4 classes on ZOOM

Local Austin folks - Please join us as we gather for the first in-person Authentic Movement group series that we've had in a Long while!
Join us in this generative somatic space of discovery that goes well beyond words, and trains new relational self-experiences into body and psyche! The simple but profound Authentic Movement practice locates the body and somatic awareness in a relational field. It helps practitioners identify and move beyond old patterns to actively practice novel ways of being and relating. This can bring about a freer range of movement through life—physically, emotionally and relationally.

A new Fall Group 2021:
The Awakening Body: An Authentic Movement Practice & Reading Group - begins in October, Register Soon to Save Your Place! Wednesdays 2:30-4:30 pm CST/ 3:30-5:30 pm EST / 12:30-2:30 pm PST /
For healers, therapists, dancers, artists and creatives who wish to tap into the vast richness and nourishment of Authentic Movement practice.
Our group will read Janet Adler’s seminal book on Authentic Movement, Offering from the Conscious Body, and explore verbal and non-verbal themes related to our work as movers, healers and creators. We will talk about the book and what we discover there, but we will also move and witness a lot, entering into the generative somatic space of discovery that goes well beyond words, and trains new relational self-experiences into body and psyche.
The simple but profound Authentic Movement, also called Contemplative Dance, practice locates the body and somatic awareness in a relational field. It helps practitioners identify and move beyond old patterns to actively practice novel ways of being and relating. This can bring about a freer range of movement through life—physically, emotionally and relationally.
Given our times, this group will take place by Zoom. We’ve had good experiences running movement oriented groups and sessions via Zoom and we’re eager to share this work, especially now. We’re all hungrier than ever for embodied connection. So let’s do it!
With Lauren Tietz & Rebecca Pollard-Pierik
Contemplative Dance Autumn Practice Group 2021
Join us in this generative somatic space of discovery that goes well beyond words, and trains new relational self-experiences into body and psyche. The simple but profound Contemplative Dance/ Authentic Movement practice locates the body and somatic awareness in a relational field. It helps practitioners identify and move beyond old patterns to actively practice novel ways of being and relating. This can bring about a freer range of movement through life—physically, emotionally and relationally.
An 8 week series for movers and meditators, healers, dancers, teachers, parents, poets, yogis and anyone interested in the place where the contemplative meets the expressive. Exact dates & times TBD asap! / Tuesdays 6:30-8pm CST / 7:30pm EST / 4:30pm PST
Though it is different online, we are also finding that the practice can still offer so much even within this new field of online exchange. social
We will begin classes w/ a simple somatic warm up, a self-tuning time (so you don't need to be looking at the screen at all for that) then we will shift into the practice of moving (sounding) with closed eyes with myself as the witness for the group. As we move forward in the work together, we will also include the practice of witnessing (with kindness) in groups and an experience of working in dyads towards the end of the series. Often we will have time for “creative forming” (time to metabolize our movement experience w/ writing or drawing/resting/sounding/or continued moving) before we come together to share our experiences with one another for the last part of each session. All are welcome.
Please join us for this new Month to Month series - Beginning FEB 1st 2021
