Do you long for connection, both with yourself and others?
Do you want to connect intimately, without being sexual?
Do you want to practice expressing your boundaries as well as your desires?
Do you want to indulge in a bath of unconditional love and warmth?

In this cuddle workshop, you will discover the pleasure of conscious touch and cuddling. We have all built walls around our hearts to protect ourselves. What will we discover when we carefully lower our guard a little? Will there be relaxation and love?

More and more research underlines the health benefits of cuddling. Cuddles lower stress levels in our body, release oxytocin (the ‘cuddle hormone’ that makes us feel good), lowers blood pressure and heart rate and makes us feel seen and loved.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
This workshop is a taster and warming up for the full weekend Exploring Deeper: Sexy Stuff, https://www.facebook.com/events/473530583021731, but also a workshop on its own.

This Cuddle Workshop is for both experienced and starting cuddlers. Especially when you feel anxious or insecure about connecting with other people – this is for you. But also if you want to recharge and indulge in a night of abundant cuddles you are very welcome!

The workshop gradually builds from connecting with yourself towards connecting with others, with a lot of space to find and express your boundaries. The exercises are playful but deep.

We focus on loving, conscious touch. There is no sexual touch in this workshop.
