Codes of Connection
Event description
Our need to connect is wired within our DNA, yet our modern world seems to encourage the opposite.
The art of safe, respectful, loving touch has been somewhat lost, whilst unconsciously or consciously, we wear social masks and adopt habits and protective mechanisms that sabotage our true desire for authentic connection.
In this introductory workshop, we explore the fundamental pillars that allow us to flourish in relating to others.
Through experiential practices exploring attunement, consent, and polarity, we delve into codes of connection with full presence and honouring of Self and Other. We'll learn to sense and feel our boundaries through deep listening and experience holding space for another and being held with an opportunity to give and receive bodywork.
