Human Forest Ballarat
Event description
Hi, I’m Fran. And I am Xan!
We welcome you to our Human Forest… Come join us and let the soft animal of your body, love what it loves…
Touch nourishes as few things can. The Human Forest is a consensual experience where we learn to give and receive loving touch. It is a place where you can let go of feelings of not being enough. A place where you can discard any taboos around touch with strangers...
Inside this safe and sacred space you will discover an ecosystem of Trees and Critters. The Trees are learning to open their hearts and become more and more receptive to the care and nourishment of the Critters… The Critters are in service to the Trees. With a devotional intention, they attend to the Trees with loving touch...
In the Forest you are invited to be playful and curious. Yet, the focus is always on the sensual, rather than the sexual. You will be guided through different forms of loving touch and be introduced to the language of the Forest – the important signals that you will use to communicate your boundaries and consent…
It is important to be punctual – for both new and old Trees. At 7:00pm the doors will be closed and we will begin our journey into the Human Forest. Initiating the new trees and forming a safe and open rapport amongst the group. It is our aim to create a caring and integrated unit where nobody is left alone…
Wear comfortable clothes. Bring an open mind. Bring a friend!
You do not have to be good
You do not have to walk on your knees
For a hundred miles through the desert repenting
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
Love what it loves…
Mary Oliver
See you in Ballarat
I’m receiving lots of questions about the Human Forest. If you’re keen to go but are still sitting on the fence because you’re not sure if it’s for you here are some of the questions I’ve been asked already. May help you make up your mind. If you have any more please reach out! Don’t let your not knowing stop you from experiencing something that’s been life changing for so many people!
Can I come if I’m Single?
Yes this event is for everyone who wants to learn about and experience loving touch that has no agenda and is about being in service and receiving. Single people often don’t experience touch so this is a great place to come and experience being touched and touching in a loving kind sensual way.
Is it a clothed event?
Yes although some people opt for as minimal clothing as possible so they can better feel and experience touch on their skin. Undies on at all times.
Is their se@&al touch?
That’s a good question and leads to us defining what constitutes sensual vs se@“al. This event is about receiving and giving sensual kind loving touch with no se@2al agenda. Boundaries and consent underpin this event and brave facilitation to ensure people feel safe and held.
