The central aim of this gentle workshop is nervous system regulation and co-regulation via consensual physical contact and singing/sounding together in as safe a space as possible.The intention is for you to remain in your comfort zone, during which you'll:
- acknowledge and communicate desires for platonic touch
- learn and sing some beautiful simple songs
- have the opportunity to experience Sonic Spooning: being enveloped in voices and live cello
Everyone is in choice and there is no expectation for anyone to do anything they don't want to.
We aim for this to be a kind and welcoming space - an inclusive, neurodivergent- / queer-friendly environment, for all genders. We welcome feedback and opportunities for our ongoing development.
What to expect:
- structured activities for connection with self and others, with options for different levels of touch (including no touch) and different ways of sounding (including no sound)
- opening and closing circle
- breathwork and embodied awareness to help us attune to the moment
- tools offered for exploring and developing communication, consent, and boundary-setting
- comfortable, relaxing environment
- a range of participant experience: from seasoned cuddler / confident singer to completely new to both
- kindness; listening; person- and group-centred environment
- trained and experienced team
- clear and honoured timings: we will be punctual
- space for time out if required
- hot drinks, snacks
This is a drug- and alcohol-free event - ie: please do not drink alcohol or take non-prescribed drugs before attending.
The space is fully accessible.
Super-early and early bird tickets available.
