TRE in Men’s Life
Reclaim Your Authentic, Courageous & Connected Self
with Lynea Gillen, Jozef Mihališin & Ryan Bemis
Saturday, August 9. 2025
8:00 am – 11:00 am (PDT-Los Angeles time)
Live, Online Training for Certified TRE Providers & Trainees
Recover Our Humanity as Men
These are hard times for all of us to trust. When working with men and TRE, we have an opportunity to confront our deepest shadows and reclaim our humanity as men. When we step into a space of vulnerability with men, an opportunity arises to step out of the shame cycle and back into connection. We may be tempted to run away from this challenging and courageous road, but as TRE providers, we all know the benefits of doing our personal work.
In this workshop, we would like to invite men and women into an honest conversation about working with men. We will explore how our TRE practices open us up to a deep truth-telling with ourselves and with each other.
To change the world, we need to look inside and be courageous enough to look into our mirror and shake off the defenses that keep us from living. Doing this challenging work calls upon our deepest longing, and our goal is to co-create a space for us to have clarity around how we can deepen our work with men.
In this session, Jozef, Lynea and Ryan will share what they have learned in their work with men and TRE. Then there will be a group discussion and a TRE session. If it is a large group, we will tremor and have discussions in small breakout groups.
