The Art Of Conscious Touch

Back

from £15

The Mindful Space

Between stimulus and response there is a space and in the space we can make a conscious choice. Touch is a powerful tool in intimacy and connection and one we often take for granted. Do you know where your or your partner like to be touched? Do you still ask?

Not all touch is experienced equally, the difference that makes the difference is Intention, Attention and Connection. In this playful workshop we will explore the deep intimacy of conscious touch.

Weaving tools from Tantra and Contemporary Psychotherapy we will reignite the playful, curious and intimate energy of loving touch, of touch for touch’s sake. Whether with our hands, bodies, toys or objects touch can be a process of deep intimate connection.

Attend this partnered workshop with a partner or solo, and leave with new tools to help you communicate intimacy and come together in relationship.

Hugo Metcalfe, a psychologist, psychotherapist, Tantra facilitator, and merger of science and soul. Founder of Coming Together, he’s been leading transformative workshops blending psychology, Tantra, and play for over a decade.
