The central aim of this gentle workshop is nervous system regulation and co-regulation via consensual physical contact. We offer you as safe a space as possible to connect with others. The intention is for you to remain in your comfort zone, during which you’ll acknowledge and communicate desires for platonic touch. Everyone is in choice and there is no expectation for anyone to do anything they don’t want to.
We aim for this to be a kind and welcoming space – an inclusive, neurodivergent- / queer-friendly environment, for all genders. We welcome feedback and opportunities for our ongoing development.

- structured activities (with options for different levels of touch, including no touch) for connection with self and others
