Steve Haines, my training provider, teaching TRE in Kyiv. 💪🕊️💖
I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to teach in Kyiv over the past few years. Our first Art of Touch training originally began the training before the war broke out in Ukraine. This course had a long gestation!
After a covid-delayed start to the first semester back in 2021 in Kyiv, our local organiser, Maksym managed to keep the group together online despite evacuations, power cuts, occupation and the horror of the war.
It was a real privilege to teach non-doing, relational touch in such difficult times and I was deeply impressed by the strength of character and resilience of the Ukrainian students, many of whom also undertook the fast track Trauma and Tension Releasing Exercises (TRE) programme.
So, there are now 20 plus Certified TRE® Providers in Ukraine and the stories they are sharing about using TRE to support their clients and communities are really powerful. It’s just fantastic to see the power of TRE in action.
