CANCELLED- Connective Contact: a Customized Cuddle Workshop - with Maxime & Joey

Due to too few registrations, we unfortunately have to cancel this one.
We think this has to do with the current measures and we respect that. We were really looking forward to it, but we will patiently wait for our next workshop to gather again!

We see proximity to others as a contribution to - no, even a necessity for - our human well-being. Our workshop will include touch (with consent of course) if possible within the Covid19 measures, and we will provide a connective ‘touching’ workshop without touch or not.
Come join our workshop and connect.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Being together with others is a way of connecting, releasing, exploring.
A “customized” cuddle workshop is corona proof: it means we have touch exercises only if possible within the Covid19 measures. We focus on connection and being intimate with yourself and others. If touch is not allowed, we’ll explore sharing, body movement and self-massage.
This is a workshop based on consent. This means that all activities are an invitation; you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to. You can join the activities, but you’re just as welcome to sit on the side with a cup of tea, “witnessing” what’s happening within you and without. We encourage everyone to honour their own process!

With vulnerabilty exercises, boundary exercises, connecting and sharing. With or without touch exercises.
Let's enjoy it as much as we can, as responsibly as we can.
Playing, exploring, being together... We're ready for it!

The workshop in super summary:

• focus: connecting to the self, and from there connecting with others
• elements: consent, touch (if possible), meditation, breathing techniques, moving.
• level: * no experience needed, clothes stay on.

  Short overview of the program:
  19:00 walk-in. Meditate, dance, drink some tea… Feel welcome to be and not having to do anything else.
  19:30 Start program (doors close!)
  21:00 Short break
  22:00 End
  The doors open at 19:00, we start at 19:30 precisely (and the doors will close). It is important for everyone to be there on time, so we can create a safe space with all of us and go through the guidelines from the start.

Please bring your own:

• Towel
• Water bottle
• Cup (we’ll provide tea, but not the cups due to Covid-19)
• Possibly some snacks: a workshop can make you hungry 😉

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

• Due to corona, we ask everyone to fill out a short questionnaire in advance for a mandatory health check. We also ask everyone upon arrival to use the hand sanitizer that will be present.
• to create a safe space we ask participants to keep to the guidelines that are discussed at the beginning of the workshop.
• Wear comfortable clothing in which you feel nice.
• Everybody is welcome. This can mean that there is a gender imbalance in the group. You work with whom you want to work with, however we don’t stimulate genderphobia (meaning we will not actively match you with someone from your preferred gender if you have one)
• When you are not respectful, cross boundaries or display other behaviour that jeopardizes the safety of the group we can ask you to leave the workshop.
• You are responsible for your own wellbeing. This means that you can always voice your boundaries. We will never force you to do anything.
• Natural, clean scents are the best! Heavy perfume can be overwhelming for others. Bringing a towel and/or an extra set of clean clothes can be nice if you strained yourself before the workshop.

If you still have questions or insecurities, let us know; we are happy to help you!
