Welcome to the "Authentic Touch," a dedicated space for exploring connections through mindful touch experiences. This workshop offers an opportunity to deepen your understanding of personal boundaries, desires, and the creation of meaningful connections in a supportive and respectful environment.
Touch is my primary love language, and I can't seem to get enough of it. I love both receiving and giving touch. Sometimes, I feel touch-deprived, and many people have shared similar feelings over the past few years. Curious about this, I came across a study revealing that:
- 54% of people feel they don’t receive enough touch in their lives
- The main reasons are consent issues and a lack of social interaction.
🧡 Do you crave a safer space to learn how to nurture yourself?
🧡 To explore new ways of creating intimacy?
🧡 To exchange skills and dreams?
🧡 To feel the connection between people?
This workshop is a fluid mix of authentic relating and consent games. It is a space for people who want to learn how to give informed and embodied consent, to be authentic, curious and playful. Learn to ask and learn to listen.

✨ It can be healing to be authentic : connect through our heart and our body, especially when feeling overwhelmed, hurt or worried.
✨ It can bring clarity and agency to express our wants and needs. To use our creativity.
✨ It can be fun to create when we aren’t in a framework focused on the result. Enlivening our inner child, simply enjoying the freedom to express ourselves.

"To me, this was a wonderfull experience, it was a long time ago that I stopped thinking and I felt like a little kid who could play and enjoy. I didn't feel scared about being touched, to give and receive feedback. For my selfconvidence, this was a good step.
Thanks for creating this safe and fun bubble."

"Thanks for the wonderful event. The place definitely had a special vibe to the event. At first, it was difficult for me as in previous events that I attended was with my ex girlfriend and this is the only event with complete strangers and for me coming out of comfort zone/box was difficult, but I wanted to do it. But thanks to you and the people who attended, I felt confident after few sessions, especially during the event with pen and the later events. I felt relaxed and was in the moment completely, which is the main aim for me from the event to gain that I wanted to experience and got it. I am again much happy to say that, I got benefited from the session and the feedback and guidance that you gave spontaneously is great.
Continue doing this awesome work."
