What if we made more room for other kinds of intimacy?
We crave connection, affection and physical closeness, yet so often we reserve these experiences for romantic partnerships. What about the tenderness we can share through friendship? The comfort of being held, the pleasure of caring for one another, the intimacy of simply being present?
Women in Touch is an invitation to explore touch as a language of its own. A way to listen, communicate, offer care, receive and connect beyond the expectations of romance.
Through a sharing circle, connection exercises, grounding practices and a guided massage exchange in pairs, we'll create space to slow down, become more present in our bodies and explore different ways of giving and receiving touch.
A space for your body, your pace, your choice
No previous massage experience is needed.
Every practice is an invitation, never an obligation. Consent, communication and mutual respect are the heart of this experience.
You are always welcome to express your boundaries, adapt an exercise or choose not to participate in any activity.
