Saturday
11:00-12:30
Studio 1
This workshop invites participants to experience grounding and consensual touch through geophysics-inspired interactions. We navigate our epidermic landscapes, shaped by pressure, time and contact in a clothing optional space. Through slow movement and relational practices, we can explore the act of giving and receiving touch in a geo-friendly way. What arises when we attune to our deep cores and moving boundaries? How can we sense nature and masculinity as a spectrum of embodied presence and vulnerability?
