I invite you into a space to discover the power of your hands and to open your intuition through touch. You are invited to participate alone, with a loved one or as a couple to learn about the qualities of touch, to integrate more physical intimacy into your daily life and to allow yourself the healing power of touch. The theme of this workshop is how to consciously create more intimacy in relationships through physical connection. We will share practices that are easy to practice at home and some important principles to know and follow when touching the body. Later we will also create a space to practice.
Touch is a body level communication. Through touch, we learn about how the toucher, as well as the touched, is in contact with their own body. By being touched we can experience where our boundaries are and what intimacy brings up in us.
The workshop will TOUCH the following topics:
- Making contact with the body
- Connecting with the body Body
- Where we are in the place where we are touching, and seeing the other through it.
- Where touch begins and the different distances of touch
- How to support the nervous system through physical touch.
- Qualities of touch and some technical techniques
- Relaxing into touch and receiving it
- Simple home techniques to support the body
- The practice of touch and intimacy: looking at the toucher within ourselves and lovingly opening to them, so that it is safer to open to the world through touch. Nothing can go wrong with loving touch.
You are warmly welcome with a companion or loved one. Family members can also be paired together. If you come with your partner, you can stay as a couple. The space is geared towards loving caring connection rather than intimacy. Friends of each other and just family members are very welcome to come, to learn to hold space better for each other through physical touch.
