The Fountain of Youth some say is the eternally elusive font of beauty, health and grace.

Some say the fountain is found only in myths and dreams.

Some say the waters are rare and only found in the ancient journeys of old into mountain caves, over bloody battlefield and by answering riddles of hunchbacked creatures cackling with delight at confusion and misery they create.

We say otherwise.

There is an elixir that can be found by any human with a keen eye and an an open body.

An elixir that opens doors into a world of possibility.

Welcome to the May Human Forest Experience delighting in the elixir of 'The Fountain'.

* WHAT IS A HUMAN FOREST? *

A consensual touch based experience where we give loving, caring touch to each other dust off thoughts of not being enough and taboos around touch with strangers. We believe that touch is a fundamental part of being human and the ability to give and receive loving touch without it leading to the bedroom is a whole new way of connecting with self, other and the world around. You will find out more on the night but expect to go through boundaries and then to be open to touch by people in the group as well as to give touch.

* WHAT HAVE OTHERS SAID ABOUT THE EPOCH GROVE HUMAN FOREST *

"Can we please do this every day!?"

"I have never felt so supported in my life"

"I just feel like honey melting down a warm stove"

"I can actually feel my body, myself and other people. I feel so connected."

"I can't believe people can share so much intimacy with so much reverence and respect for each other. It's MIND BLOWING!"

* WHERE ARE THE PROFITS GOING? *

This year 100% of our profits are going towards the EPOCH GROVE Reforestation Project. Yep, that's right, we don't get 'paid' for this, the land does.

We have a goal of raising $20k this year to continue building a thriving permaculture garden to feed many mouths, to regenerating the soil and plant many natives, trees, herbs, flowers and provide jobs for locals!

We will also have organic produce from the land for you to purchase if you're interested including our award-winning olive oil, table olives, honey and other treats. Find out more at:
