? Touch is not just sensation. It is communication. It is memory. It is medicine. ?

???? ???? ??? ???????.
Your body holds everything you’ve ever been through—the love, the loss, the longing.
It remembers the touch that felt like home.
It remembers the touch that made you shrink.

Maybe you’ve learned to disconnect—to armour yourself, to numb, to go through the motions without truly feeling.
Maybe you crave contact that feels safe, nourishing, deeply seen—without expectation, without performance, without taking more than is given.
Maybe you long to be touched the way your soul aches to be held.

? Touch is not just about others. It is about you. ?

?? ????? ?? ????????, ??? ????:
? Rediscover the language of your body through conscious, consensual touch.
? Learn how to give and receive in a way that feels safe, sovereign, and deeply connected.
? Release the fear, tension, and old imprints stored in your skin.
? Experience touch as an act of love, healing, and reverence—not just something you do, but something you become.

Touch is primal. Touch is sacred. Touch is yours to reclaim.

❝ An intimate space to explore boundaries, and make sense of our own needs in an environment that welcomes connection with ourselves and others. It held space to reflect on how we interpret touch, feelings that arise with it and how we can advocate for ourselves and each other with consent and communication.

I was smiling for days, and left proud of myself that I was apart of something that pushed me slightly out of my comfort zone, but felt much better for it, whilst being alongside others who are also on their own journeys. ❞

 - Chloe (Participant April 2025)

 
❝ Joy and Shiva created an extremely wholesome evening of group plutonic caring, explorative touch. They held the space very well, making me feel very safe and comfortable to explore my edges. The music and guidance from Joy was complimented by Shiva's physical guidance and it transcended into a melting puddle of plutonic sensual touch where I felt extreme gratitude and care. It was an amazing evening for me! Thank you Joy &amp; Shiva! ❞

Join us for an evening of sensual, non-verbal connection through conscious, loving touch. In this immersive, guided experience, you’ll explore the healing power of oxytocin—the hormone of trust and bonding—while nourishing your body, mind, and nervous system.

Touch is always optional, and this journey is just as much about learning what it means to touch and be touched with presence, consciousness, and consent as it is about the experience itself. You’ll be invited to reflect on how most of us have experienced touch in the past—often without true presence or mutual agreement—and how transformative it can be to experience touch that is fully consensual and mindful.

Whether you wish to engage in touch or simply explore the energy and space around you, this is an opportunity to heal, relax, and reconnect.

 

? ??? ????? ???????

In our fast-paced world, many of us are touch-deprived. Yet, touch is fundamental to our sense of well-being. Conscious, consensual touch has the power to:

Calm the nervous system
Release tension and stress
Promote emotional balance
Deepen connection with others
However, most of us have experienced touch without true consent, without presence, or without full awareness—often leaving us feeling disconnected or unsafe. In this meditation, we explore what it means to bring intention and awareness to every interaction, helping you discover how powerful touch can be when approached with clarity, trust, and respect.

Oxytocin, the hormone released during touch, enhances feelings of trust, safety, and comfort—making this meditation a beautiful way to reconnect with yourself and others.

 

? ???? ?? ??????

This 3-hour journey will take you on a sensory exploration, beginning with:

Awakening the senses solo meditation to cultivate personal body awareness
Simple, guided interactions with others while respecting boundaries
Clear guidance on what it means to engage in conscious, present, and consensual touch
The opportunity to practice saying 'yes' and 'no'—exploring your boundaries and desires with confidence
Free movement, allowing you to explore touch at your own pace, or choose to stay in your personal space
Support to navigate any emotions that arise with compassion and presence
You are always in control of your experience—touch is optional, and you are welcome to engage as little or as much as you like.

 

? ??? ???? ???????? ?? ???:

This workshop is ideal if you:

Crave nourishing, non-sexual touch in a safe space
Want to deepen your connection to your body and its wisdom
Feel touch-deprived and seek healing through conscious contact
Are curious about conscious movement and embodied presence

Are interested in sacred sexuality or the Temple Arts and want to develop skills in consensual, conscious touch
No prior experience with meditation or dance is necessary. All genders, orientations, and relationship styles are welcome.

 

? ???????? ?? ?????????

By the end of this experience, you may notice:

A deeper connection with your body and others
Greater ease in non-verbal communication of your boundaries
A sense of calm, as your nervous system is soothed by oxytocin
Emotional release and a newfound openness to safe, consensual touch
Greater emotional resilience and presence in your day-to-day life
