We’re going to revisit and establish a deeper connection with the sequence but also learn a few more techniques to enrich the experience.This workshop is an invitation in exploring deeper, more sensual qualities of touch. This naturist event will start with setting intent with meditation and breathwork, moving into working in pairs using simple but effective massage techniques to discover the full potential of our touch and the dynamics of connection. This workshop involves consensual genital touch, through instruction and demonstration and it's not a sex party.
