After Work - connect & cuddle

After Work - Cuddle and Connect Melt into the weekend Join Karis Mae and Nadine Edstrand for an evening workshop blending the powerful practices of authentic relating with nurturing physical connection. Leave the stresses of the week behind and allow your nervous system to relax and unwind. Through a series of guided exercises in pairs, small groups and the larger group, you'll have the opportunity to: Find a deeper sense of self-awareness and presence Meet new people in a real and authentic way Practise giving and receiving non-sexual touch Get a boost of the ‘love hormone’ oxytocin Practise communicating your ‘yes’ and your ‘no’ Experience the healing power of co-regulation through close physical contact This carefully designed experience will gently guide you into the present moment, into connection with yourself and others, and into finding a sense of ease and safety within yourself. This is a non-sexual, touch-positive and consent-based space where the emphasis is on honouring your own boundaries and the boundaries of others at all times. Every exercise is optional and you choose to participate to the level that feels comfortable for you. You don’t need to be in a romantic relationship to enjoy quality non-sexual touch and cuddles! So come and meet new people, have fun, and be nourished by open-hearted human connection. We look forward to welcoming you!
