Come and be nourished by touch.
Touch is so more than just a sensation. It is a universal language of presence, an invitation to explore the very essence of connection and sensuality our animal bodies grow through. In this workshop, touch becomes transformational through deep listening, heart-opened asking and care-filled intention. It is designed for anyone curious about the deeper, more intimate art of touch, whether you are new to exploring sensuality or have experience in conscious connection. You will leave with tools to enrich your personal relationships and cultivate more presence and intention in every touch you share.
The Art of Touch Workshop is a transformative and sensual experience in a beautiful and intimate space designed for safety and softening, where we will explore the profound power of touch, guided by the Wheel of Consent and infused with the energy of elemental touch. Together, we will learn how to touch with intention, presence, and full awareness, while honoring the dynamics of consent, connection, and self-expression.
You can come single or you can come coupled. You can stay with the one you came with for the touch practices, or practice with others, or on yourself. You can even come and just take in the amazing vibes and create your own experience that supports the container. However you choose to interact, you will walk away clearer, braver, and more embodied in your yes, no, your want, and how to ask for and receive it.
Doors open: 6pm
Opening circle: 6:30pm
Opening and Connecting Ritual begins at 6:30pm. Everyone is asked to be present for this due to the nature of the intimate container. If you arrive later than opening circle, we will see you next time.
7pm-9pm: The Wheel of Consent & Elemental and Devotional Touch.
9pm-10pm: Practice Ground: Here you will have a chance to explore all you’ve learned and experienced and ask for the kind of sensual, non-sexual touch experience you would like to have. Each experience is between 1-3 min in length and is paired with a song chosen for your experience. You may ask another person for the experience or you may invite those willing within the group, to provide you this experience. You can ask to be craddled, you can ask to hold someone, you can ask for an 8 hands massage. This is your opportunity to practice advocating for your desires and receiving.
In this intimate workshop, we will explore:
- Deep Listening & Presence: Learn to tune into the subtle cues of your own body and others, cultivating a deep awareness of what is wanted, needed, and desired. This skill of listening—without words, but with the full presence of your being—will transform the way you connect through touch.
- The Wheel of Consent: Understand the four quadrants of consent—giving, receiving, taking, and allowing—and how to embody them with integrity and awareness. You’ll learn to engage in touch that is mutually fulfilling, honoring both your desires and the desires of others.
- Elemental Touch Practices: Infuse your touch with the energies of the natural world. We will explore how to bring the qualities of earth (grounded, nurturing), water (fluid, soothing), fire (passionate, transformative), and air (light, expansive) into your touch. Each element will inspire different forms of connection, helping you become more attuned to the dynamic flow of energy between yourself and others.
- Mindful and Sensual Touch: Discover how to touch with intention and contact points, whether you are offering a soft caress, a passionate embrace, or a grounding presence. By practicing with mindfulness, we will learn how to cultivate touch that is not only sensual, but deeply connecting and full of presence.
All bodies, identities, and levels of experience are welcome. This is a safe, nurturing space to explore at your own pace.
What to wear: All of you is welcome here, wear anything that creates comfort and supports you in your journey. You are welcome to undress down to your bottoms in this container and you are welcome to keep all of your clothes on.
Important Note on Boundaries: While we explore the art of touch in a sensual and connected way, genital stimulation or sexual activities are not a part of this experience.
The intention is to create a safe, respectful environment where all participants can explore touch in ways that honor personal boundaries and foster connection without any form of sexual interaction. We ask that everyone respects these boundaries to ensure a nurturing and comfortable space for all. You may undress down to your bottoms or keep all of your clothing on.
