WHAT IS SHAKING MEDICINE®? 5:50PM-7PM

Shaking Medicine® is seen as one of the "rituals of resilience". It is way to develop resilience and release and let go of built-up stress, tension and trauma. It is is a body based (somatic) approach to stress, tension and trauma release. It helps us to activate shaking, which despite common misconceptions is a very good thing. Tremoring is our body’s natural stress recovery response.

Practicing Shaking Medicine® not only helps to bring balance into our bodies (and life!) but releases deep-seated muscular tension, stress, and mild trauma. These monthly classes will enable you to understand your nervous system, and you will have a chance to learn and practice Shaking Medicine® method.

Come, shake it off and shake your way to good health!

Shaking Medicine® is sometimes referred to as Bioenergetics or Trauma Release. It is one of the world's oldest self-help medicines.

Shaking, rocking, vibration and oscillation are natural human reactions to: Stress, Trauma & Ecstatic states. Shaking Medicine® is, in short, the healing power of ecstatic movement. Inspired by and brought to us by nature. The practice of Shaking is known by many: Quakers, Gnostics, Taoists, Yoginis, First Nations peoples, Sufis, Druids, Zen Buddhists and more.

We are inspired by teachers such as Peter Levine, Bradford Keeney, Osho, Wilhelm Reich, Alexander Lowen, John Peirakkos, David Bercelli.



“Trauma recovery work has got to develop a new paradigm, because the paradigm that we have now is based on post-traumatic stress disorder and you go to a one to one therapist. You cannot do that with large groups of people. So there has got to be a new paradigm shift in the realization of “how do we do recovery from PTSD on a large scale population?” How do we get whole groups of people, like villages for example, or an entire school system healed? So that’s the first paradigm shift, we have to change our concept of PTSD recovery so that we can work on a large scale.”
– Dr. David Bercelli

SAFE SPACE: A Shaking Medicine® is an inclusive space focused on supporting each and every one of its participants. Please be respectful of others' space, property, needs, and process. Any display of antisocial or abusive behaviour will result in removal from the class without a refund.

PERSONAL SAFETY: A Shaking Medicine® class might not be the most suitable setting for people with severe trauma, PTSD, CPTSD, burnout, and serious health conditions or those who find it very challenging to self-regulate (unable to calm down when emotionally distressed). It would be more supportive to initially work in individual sessions.

PREGNANCY: Shaking Medicine is not recommended.

RECENT INJURIES & SURGERIES: It is best to give your body at least 3 months to heal after a surgery or serious injury before doing Shaking Medicine®. Please contact us via email if you would like to discuss your circumstances but we would advise that consult your doctor.
