Heart-centred, kind and respectful touch blesses both the receiver and giver. The nervous system relaxes, the breath deepens, the heart rate slows and we feel connected, calm and quiet.
Many of us can feel deprived of physical contact and touch and yet it is so vital to our wellbeing and happiness. Even if we have a lot of sex, a sensual element to it can be missing; that sweetness of just being held.
In this clothed workshop, we will work together to create a safe space that meets people’s varying need for physical contact with others. No experience necessary.
Please book your place in advance.
https://www.outsavvy.com/event/7594/the-cuddle-exchangeThe session will involve movement, mindful awareness, shared touch and
massage and partner and small group exercises. You will remain clothed and each person will get to determine their own boundaries and preferences during the workshop.Join us and inhabit your body more fully, relaxing into it with deeper compassion, appreciation and contentment.
ANDY is a Tantra Yoga teacher and somatic therapist and has been facilitating spaces for gay, bi and queer men to connect from the heart for 9 years. He holds classes and private sessions in London and Brighton and runs several wellbeing retreats for men during the year.

We will work safely and mindfully with erotic and sensual energy, playing within our own boundaries, grounded in the compassion and wisdom of the Heart.
