Cuddle workshop/Knuffelworkshop (Eindhoven) 27 sep 2020 - with Emile Wijnen

~ This workshop will take place as contact sports, massage and dance are allowed according to RIVM. We follow the guidelines of the RIVM to create the safest possible environment.
The COVID-19 protocol can be requested from the organizer and will be communicated by e-mail to those who have already purchased a ticket ~

When you receive and give physical touch in a loving, attuned way, it has many positive effects on our body.
Your body will relax more and more; lower your heart rate, blood pressure and breathing. Emotionally, touch reduces fears, soothes.
It makes us feel welcome and supported. Touch increases your sense of confidence and security. That you belong, feel connected to others. The 'cuddle hormone' oxytocin is produced so that we experience more empathy and affection. It makes us kinder, more social and more loving.
Maybe physical touch is (very) exciting for you, or you would like to discover something in it. Do you feel a need for it that cannot (or too little) be answered? Or you just can't get enough! Anyway, everyone is welcome here.

In this workshop you will engage in (slow) dance & massage exercises, making contact with each other in different ways. By first becoming aware of your own body you can make contact with others from there.
You are invited to guard your limits and express your desires. And perhaps step out of your comfort zone a bit.

Feel welcome to experience this relaxation in connection yourself!

Additional information:
This workshop is for both experienced and novice cuddlers. Especially if you feel anxious or insecure about interacting with other people - this is for you. Even if you want to recharge and enjoy a workshop full of contact and connection, you are very welcome!
The workshop gradually builds up from connecting with yourself to connecting with others, with plenty of room to find and express your limits. The exercises can be playful at times and can also affect you emotionally.

** Good to know **

• We provide a warm, safe atmosphere where everyone can feel
  comfortable with.
• Cuddling is nice, but sometimes exciting. You don't have to do
  anything that you do not want. If you do not want to participate in
  an exercise, or not with a certain person, that's fine.
  You always decide your own limits. This will be further explained at
  the beginning of the workshop.
• Know that clothing stays on, this is not sexual workshop.
• Everyone is welcome. This means that there may be an inequality
  is in gender in the group. You work with whom you want to work;
  we do not encourage gender phobia (which means that we do not
  actively encourage you linking with people of your desired gender).
• If you are not respectful, cross boundaries or other exhibits
  behavior that affects the safety of the group we ask you to leave
  the workshop.
• You are responsible for your own well-being. This means you
  you can set limits at all times. We will encourage you to do so.
