About this Event
Exploring Connection & Senses
Join us for a meditative, somatic exploration into the senses—an invitation to slow down, come home to your body, and deepen your capacity for connection with your Self and others.
Through embodied movement, stillness, sound and presence-based practices, we will gently isolate and explore each of the bodily senses. By refining our awareness of sensation, we strengthen our ability to listen inwardly. And when we are truly connected to ourselves—body, mind, and breath—we can meet others with greater authenticity, clarity, and care.
This workshop takes place just before Valentine’s Day, a time traditionally focused on love—offering a reframe toward self-connection, conscious relating and soulful presence.
What to Expect
- Guided somatic and meditative practices
- Sensory awareness guidance
- Consent-focused partner and group exercises
- Unique movement and dance
- Opportunities to meet like-minded, conscious individuals
- A non-judgmental, safe and supportive space
- Integration through stillness and sound healing
All partner work is optional, consent-based, and clearly guided. This is a non-sexual workshop, focused on awareness, presence and authentic human connection.
Intention
The objective of this experience is to deepen connection with your body and inner world, so that connection with others can arise naturally—without force, performance, or expectation.
Come as you are. Bring your authentic self, your curiosity and your willingness to explore.

- Curious & conscious singles
- Those interested in somatic awareness and mindful connection
- Anyone longing for deeper presence—with themselves and others
