Is touch your love language?

Are you keen to spark deep connections quickly?

Are you desiring a safe space to see and be seen, to hold and be held?

Embodied Relating is an interpersonal, touch-based meditation. It is the practice of listening, speaking and touching in deeper awareness of presence and sensation, allowing us to weave richer, more truthful, more loving connections with one another.

You are invited to explore your curiosity, vulnerability and boundaries through a journey of deep and meaningful communication and contact games.

In this workshop, we will focus on the enriching practice of Circling. Circling is an organic, in-the-moment, embodied interpersonal group process that’s equal parts art form, meditation, and group conversation — all designed to allow a visceral experience of connection and understanding of another person’s world, celebrating who and where they are right now.

Participants often walk away with a profound sense of well-being, and an experiential toolkit that they can use right away to make every part of their lives even better.

Everything shared in the workshop is consensual and confidential.
