BECOME A BETTER FRIEND/ PARENT/ LOVER/ HUMANExplore touch through the five elements in this transformative experience.
At this retreat, you will learn about your own touch needs and desires, how to get them met, and how to better communicate them to others.
Perfect for:
Touch-seekers
Those with touch-related fears
Self-discovery enthusiasts
Partnerships seeking intimacy & communication help
BY PRACTICING TOUCH, WE HEAL, WE MEET A LONGING IN OUR BODY, AND WE RESTORE A MORE NATURAL WAY OF BEING. WE RE-HUMANIZE.
What to expect:
During this 3-day retreat, you can expect to intentionally and gently explore touch with yourself and others. Each activity will be clearly explained before you choose in to your level of participation. A lot of space is given for choice in each moment. You will never be pressured to do anything past your comfort level. This is not a place to stretch or challenge yourself. It is a place to discover yourself.
All activities have a solo option so you can practice being with yourself. You could potentially only practice these touch exercises with yourself all weekend if you wanted so, don’t be afraid that you would have to engage with others in any way that you don’t want to.
You can expect all participants to have a clear understanding of the boundaries of the space, including yourself.
You can trust that Melissa has interviewed all participants to help ensure everyone’s safety and comfortability.
You can also expect about one hour of pre-retreat homework. This is required.
