# Event Details - **Event Name**: Embodied Connection: An exploration of consent-based platonic touch - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 13 Oct, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Tue, 13 Oct, 2026 at 09:00 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: In this guided platonic group experience, we'll explore how to offer, request, and receive touch with clear consent.About this EventAs humans, we share a deep need for connection. However, most of us were not taught how to say "NO" or ask for consent. Platonic touch is a beautiful way to experience relaxation and coregulation within a safe container where we simply experience a state of being together.We'll begin with authentic relating and mindful listening exercises to build trust and get to know one another. We'll then practice "Yes/No/Maybe" exercises, exploring how to offer, request, and receive touch with clear consent.Participants often leave with more confidence asking for what they want, greater ease saying no without over-explaining or feeling bad about it, and a sense of relaxed warmth and affection that comes from being welcomed just as they are - no performing, no impressing.If you've ever wished you could simply be hugged, held, or caressed gently with a sense of safety and no romantic pressure or expectation, this workshop is for you.*Touch in this event is non-sexual and substance-free.Bella Brooks is a certified Sexologist, Intimacy Coach & Sexuality Educator, as well as a certified Cuddlist. Through her practice, Bella Brooks Love Coach helps people reconnect with intimacy, pleasure, and authentic communication—on their own terms. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/portland/embodied-connection-an-exploration-of-consent-based-platonic-touch/100001998907926417 - **Event Categories**: performances, workshops, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 39.19, max: 55.2, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Portland - **state**: ME - **country**: United States - **location**: Good Medicine Collective - **lat**: 43.6480468 - **long**: -70.2613088 - **full address**: Good Medicine Collective, 231 York Street, Portland, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Embodied Connection: An exploration of consent-based platonic touch - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/0d93d660bab6c2e66e1f2dac23ca0854d3f5fb10b98ee53819902207417397a4-rimg-w512-h512-dcb89888-gmir.jpg?v=1788354970 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Embodied Connection: An exploration of consent-based platonic touch being held? - **A:** Embodied Connection: An exploration of consent-based platonic touch takes place on Tue, 13 Oct, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Tue, 13 Oct, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Good Medicine Collective, 231 York Street, Portland, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Embodied Connection: An exploration of consent-based platonic touch? - **A:** Embodied Connection: An exploration of consent-based platonic touch is organized by Elizabeth Ross, Bella Brooks. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
