Touch & Flow
Would you like an evening of connection, play and joy? To explore your desire (or lack of desire) for touch? Or just being with yourself in a respectful space, together with others?
”Touch and Flow” is an evening with the possibility for curiosity, about yourself and others – physical play – loving, creative touch – relaxation – awareness – dance and movement…. You decide.
New to Touch & Flow?
As an introduction to new participants, I present the framework for the evening, so that everyone can feel safe. I will emphasize the need for clear boundaries and invite you to drop your self-imposed expectations. My intention is to create a respectful and loving space.
During the introduction, I will talk about consent, responsibility and the challenge of communication while touching. I will also invite you to participate with simple exercises to demonstrate the expression of YES and NO while touching another person.
Flow of the evening
After the introduction to new participants, there will be an opportunity to briefly share how you feel. Then there will be the possibility for free choice about being alone or together – about movement and touching. A large area of the room will be covered with mattresses and there will be music. I will assign different zones of the room to make it easier for you to show your needs without talking, e.g. one zone will be for participants who wants to be with themselves, without touching others.
The majority of the evening will give you the opportunity to first tune into your bodily wants and needs and secondly to experiment with ways of expressing your bodily wants and needs without words. In the process you will have the opportunity to develop sensitivity to other peoples’ expression of YES and NO.
As a closure, there will be time to share how you feel and maybe what you experienced or moments of doubt or wonderment when touching each other or being by yourself.
Prerequisites & what to expect
There are no special prerequisites for participation.
Everyone is welcome: Tired, exhausted, lonely, sad, happy, exuberant, ecstatic, or….?
Apart from respecting the framework for the evening, there are no expectations of you – There are endless possibilities for conscious, consensual touch and you can, for example:
- Explore your desire to give or receive touch.
- Say no to everything, all evening, and just observe and be inspired by others…
- Give conscious touch, hugs, massage, lie in a spoon, hold hands, take a nap for yourself…
- Practice setting clear and respectful boundaries.
- Go for what you want – and discover how others respond?
- Curiously explore your inner body sensations and feelings and following your needs have physical contact with others.
You can expect a good opportunity to calm your nervous system, let go of stress, worries and “throngs of thoughts” and instead make more room for energy, connection with others, play and joy. You can get better at saying no, when you mean no.
This evening gives you a rare and unusual opportunity. The opportunity to disconnect from your pattern of thinking what other people want from you and to begin a new pattern of expressing your wants and needs while respecting other participants YES and NO signals.
“Touch & Flow” can lead to new awareness and insights, a boost of the “love hormone” oxytocin, warm encounters with other people and a sense of belonging, laughter or tears?
An everyday-adventure with both excitement and relaxation.
