Massage Party plus Latihan Practice w/JJ Brawley & Bellonda Bixby!

**We all need touch.

**We all need affection.

**We all need nurturing.

**We all need community.

**It’s part of being human!

**It’s no longer a question.

Nurturing, welcome consensual touch is good for you!

  • Good for your body, heart and spirit!
  • Good for your blood pressure.
  • Good for your nervous system.
  • Good for your emotional health.
  • Good for your mental health.
  • Good for your ability to connect with and trust people.
  • Good for your ability to respect and care for yourself.
  • Good for your creativity.
  • Good for your sense of safety, comfort and belonging.

Infants who are deprived of touch fail to thrive; and we never outgrow that need!

We humans all need platonic touch, that is safe, consensual and healing.

Now, if you are a human being reading this, chances are you have a desire to have your touch needs met. In fact, 27% of those surveyed regarding their ‘love language’ report physical touch as being their primary love language; while 24% report it as being a secondary love language; and 25% report physical touch as being their tertiary love language. That’s 76% of the population surveyed saying that physical touch is somewhere in the upper spectrum of their human needs!

Touch can come in many forms. From simply holding hands, to being held, to giving a hug, to receiving a hug, to receiving a massage, to giving a massage. Touch in it’s many forms has been proven scientifically to provide many benefits, including the need for connection, and non-sexual intimacy.

TOUCH IS A BASIC HUMAN NEED!

We are excited to offer you a chance to come to an event that is all about having your needs for connection, community and physical touch met.

We will start the evening out with some ‘authentic relating’ games to garner connection and community, then move into some physical connection games such as the practice of Latihan, some dance and movement meditation to get us into our bodies and comfortable with others in the space. Then we will offer a number of physical connection games to be played in diads, triads, and moresomes! You'll have fun, meet new people, get connected and have your touch needs met in ways you’ve never imagined possible.

The feeling we aim to create for this event is one of relaxation and fun!

So come, relax, enjoy yourself, take a load off and be in the energy of people just like you, people who desire connection and community and would like to be nurtured, held, and touched, by people just like you!

We will honor each other's boundaries and practice verbal consent before we touch anyone, and everyone will have the opportunity to bow out of any exercise or activity that doesn’t feel right for them. We will lovinging and compassionately respect each other's YES or NO. We will not make each other wrong for having desires or asking for what we want. We will respect each other for their willingness to try new things and won’t pass judgment on those who chose themselves or on those who change their mind.

If you are a compassionate and empathetic being who has good communication and boundary skills, who plays well with others, and desires community, connection and touch as much as the rest of us, then we would like to invite you to come play with us!

~ Bellonda Bixby is a “Wholeistic Coach” and serial entrepreneur. Her deep desire to understand the human heart and psyche includes a multiplicity of modalities. She synthesizes and is deeply versed in: Advanced Human Assessment Technology, Compassionate Communication, Self-Inquiry, and Fashion Alchemy. As a Tantra enthusiast, she practices a holistic approach towards living life and alchemizes communication, creativity, emotions, spirituality, psychology, sexuality, and relationships.

Join Bellonda as she shares her delight and passion about Latihan. Literally meaning “spiritual exercise” or “training of the spirit” Latihan is unique for each person and more about letting go than creating. This fully clothed, blindfolded moving meditation is a practice of awakening through the senses, getting out of our heads and into our bodies and spirit. Connection with others in a group may happen… though contact is not the point. You will be coached on how to get the full benefit from your experience including boundaries.
