In a world that often moves too fast, it’s easy to feel disconnected—from ourselves and from each other. True connection doesn’t just happen; it’s built through presence, trust, and clear communication. But how do we navigate touch, closeness, and boundaries in a way that feels safe and fulfilling? How do we connect more deeply with ourselves and others?
Let’s explore together.
This class is all about consent and platonic intimacy—how we give and receive connection with clarity and care. Through a mix of journaling, self-reflection, movement, touch, and group discussion, we’ll practice attuning to our own needs while respecting the boundaries of others. You’ll leave with practical skills to communicate with confidence, build deeper relationships, and create meaningful connections in a way that feels good for everyone involved.
What to bring:
A journal and pen
Comfortable clothing
We’ll provide:
Tea, water, and cacao
A note on touch:
We’ll be practicing consensual, platonic touch as part of our exploration. While this can be a powerful way to build connection, it may also bring up emotions. If you have past trauma related to touch, please ensure you have support in place (such as a therapist or counselor) to help you process anything that arises.
Join us in creating a space where connection feels safe, intentional, and deeply nourishing.
Sauna and optional cold plunge are included in the experience prior to the event start. Please arrive 30-60 minutes early to enjoy these amenities.
