# Event Details - **Event Name**: The Touch Lab - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 18 Jul, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Sat, 18 Jul, 2026 at 06:00 pm - **Event Description**: Most people were never taught how to ask for the touch they want, how to give touch with precision, or how to truly witness what happens in the body. The Touch Lab is a guided, structured 2-hour experience in active receiving, clear communication, and conscious, consensual touch. Participants work in groups of three: one receiver one giver one witness Everyone gives, everyone receives, everyone witnesses. The receiver directs the experience, the giver follows exactly, and the witness observes without interfering. This is a fully clothed, non-intimate, consent-led learning space. What to expect clear structure and guidance a 5-minute negotiation before each round 20 minutes of active receiving touch per set three role-based experiences full group debrief at the end This space is structured respectful fully guided suitable for people who want to learn, not perform Important boundaries fully clothed at all times non-intimate touch only consent can be changed or withdrawn at any time participants are expected to follow instructions and respect boundaries You don’t need to be good at this. You just need to be curious Who this is for People who want to improve how they communicate through touch, understand what their body responds to, and learn to give touch that is actually received. If you attend with a female friend or partner, both receive a reduced rate. ? Limited places to maintain a safe and high-quality experience The Touch Lab Intro Video Touch Lab — Frequently Asked Questions A lot of people are curious about this space… and also have questions. So let’s address the most common ones. Is this just for men? No. However, research shows that men are more likely to be touch deprived and experience higher levels of loneliness, often receiving significantly less non-sexual, nurturing touch than women. So it makes sense that more men may be drawn to this. That said… Nervous systems are not gendered. Every human body needs safe, regulated, consensual touch. But women get touched all the time… Yes — and often not in ways that feel safe or consensual. This space is different. Here, you receive exactly what you ask for: No more No less That level of clarity is rare — and incredibly powerful. What actually happens in the session? This is a structured, guided experience. You’ll learn: How to ask clearly How to give precisely How to negotiate boundaries How to stay present in your body This is somatic work. We are working with the nervous system — not performance. What if I don’t want to do something? You don’t have to. That’s consent. You are always in control of your experience. At the same time, we support safe exploration. For example: You may not want someone touching your face — that’s completely valid. But instead of shutting down interaction entirely, we may explore alternatives such as: Sitting back-to-back Leaning into each other Finding a version that feels safe and acceptable This is how trust is built. Is this a dating event? No. This is NOT a dating event. Is this a service? No. This is NOT a service. There is no exchange or expectation of touch. This is a guided, shared learning environment. Is it sexual? No. Fully clothed Non-intimate touch only Clear boundaries at all times How do I know it’s safe? This space is structured and facilitated. I personally ensure that: Only people with genuine, respectful intentions attend Any inappropriate behaviour is addressed immediately There is zero tolerance for boundary violations. What’s the point of all this? Many people are living without something fundamental: Safe, regulated, human touch. This space supports: Communication Boundary setting Negotiation Consent Connection And over time: Trust Truth Real intimacy Still unsure? You don’t need to be ready. You just need to be willing to explore. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/perth/the-touch-lab/200030420347508 - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Perth - **state**: WA - **country**: Australia - **location**: 455 Beaufort Street, HIghgate , Perth, WA, Australia, Western Australia 6003 - **lat**: -31.93962 - **long**: 115.86856 - **full address**: 455 Beaufort Street, HIghgate , Perth, WA, Australia, Western Australia 6003 ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Touch Lab - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/dda4bda34341463ed84fe6109139b464f7890ec24536a5e890b67f9f98abac1d-rimg-w1200-h1697-dce9e9f8-gmir?v=1784354407 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Touch Lab being held? - **A:** The Touch Lab takes place on Sat, 18 Jul, 2026 at 02:00 pm to Sat, 18 Jul, 2026 at 06:00 pm at 455 Beaufort Street, HIghgate , Perth, WA, Australia, Western Australia 6003. - **Q**: Who is organizing The Touch Lab? - **A:** The Touch Lab is organized by Tracy Louise - CSSE CSB. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
