The conscious skin

11:00-12:30
Studio 2
Our skin is where we meet the world — and where the world meets us.
In this somatic workshop, we slow down and tune into the sensations, boundaries, and subtle shifts of our bodies. Through meditation and gentle movement, we explore the skin not simply as a boundary, but as a living threshold: something that separates us, protects us, and connects us.
We begin with attentive self-touch, following sensation without needing to achieve anything. From there, we can explore touch with others in a playful, grounded and consensual way — discovering what it means to approach, receive, pause, move closer, or stay with ourselves.
This is an invitation to become more curious about your own body and more present with the bodies around you. A space for queer connection, embodied awareness, intimacy and pleasure — without pressure to perform or be touched.

Florian, a certified master therapist and educator, has studied Anthropology & Communication Science and worked on various projects in Berlin since 2007. His professional journey has led him to explore the nuanced connections between technology and somatics.
Throughout his experience, Florian observed that bodies were often viewed merely as tools to be used or fixed when malfunctioning. This realization sparked his interest in somatics, which he began studying at the Somatische Akademie Berlin. Now, as a certified practitioner, he offers classes and experiences that elevate the body as a true resource of wisdom, joy, and depth in our lives.
