Sound Healing Cuddle Puddle!

*must register in advance on eventbrite! Our events sell out! Bit.ly/aartseventbrite **

Come make new connections and experience the therapeutic effects of platonic intimacy and sound healing in fun and consent-based space.

Have you ever wanted to cuddle with friends but didn't know how to ask?

Do you desire to engage in platonic intimacy but also want to learn how to comfortably ask for what you want?Perhaps you crave interaction in a space with no agenda, and you desire to feel the comfort and regulation capacity of consensual touch.

Well this is the event for you!

In this experience we’ll be practicing our communication skills, honoring boundaries, and exploring friendly touch in a facilitated non-segs ual container. This will be a safe space to fully express yourself, experience community with supportive people and discover tools/techniques that can benefit you and all of your relationships.

So what is platonic touch? And what makes it so powerful?

In this container we will use mindful touch to explore the many depths and dimensions of connection without provoking, pursuing or cultivating segg sual arousal. The intention will purely be to practice touch that has no other outcome than to connect with others. Platonic intimacy is so powerful as it can help breakdown hetero-normative stereotypes that often prevent us from being able to touch or cuddle with friends of the same sex, or even with friends of the opposite sex, someone new, or someone we know well, etc.

There is so much potential for healing and breakthroughs from this type of work. With greater transparency and no hidden agendas we are able to more easily go with the flow and experience the magick of staying present.

Safety, consent and transparency are the top priorities in this container. To invoke the best of these ideals we will be doing an opening circle to drop-in and connect, exercises to inspire authentic relating, and agreements to ensure we are all on the same page regarding how to communicate for the most positive experience. We'll practice the “Three Minute Game” from the “Wheel of Consent” so we can work on better understanding what it is to give and receive while honoring our own boundaries and bodies. There will also be an amazing sound bath to help us dive deep into relaxation and experience incredible healing through music, vibration, and singing. We will wrap up and close out the event with an integration circle to express our thoughts and any breakthroughs we experienced.

Because this will be a consent-based space. You're under no obligation to do anything you don't desire to do. In face, we'll be celebrating No's here! Voyeurism (witnessing) is always considered participation. Come and watch the whole time if you desire!
