May 25 ๐Ÿฅ€ Philippe Lewis - Kitty Cat Contact: Feel the Feline in You!

The non-verbal language of cats is renowned for its nuance and diversity, so much so that it can take years for humans to master this beautiful art. And indeed, it is a language familiar to humans, often much more than actual humans non-verbal language. But this cat language is similar enough to humanโ€™s that it is easy to learn for those who are still in the dark. In fact, many people interact non-verbally more often and in more complex ways with pets than they do with other human beings, so it is a good starting point for a common language of touch between lovers.

In this playful romp of a class, you will learnโ€ฆ

โ˜… Mastery of the mysterious feline gaze

โ˜… The elaborate dance of the their walk

โ˜… The beautiful and nuanced language of their touch

โ˜… The intricacy of their meows and purrs (and one special trick to turn you into a cat magnet)

โ˜… Their top-secret missions to take over the human world (and how you can join their ranks)

โ˜… A beginnerโ€™s vocabulary and codes to instantly become a catโ€™s best friend (even if youโ€™re really a dog person)

โ˜… How kittens are much more dangerous than adult cats (even as they are cuter!)

โ˜… And much, much moreโ€ฆ

And underneath the playfulness of this class, you will discover the deeper more primal world of feline animals, how they express sovereignty, how they care for each other, and how they learn to own their own safety in the context of play and engagement with each other.

Donโ€™t wait to become friends with the greatest slyest animals on the planet, join us and become their ally with your own inner feline friend!

โ€œI came to Philippeโ€™s cat workshop because a friend recommended it and because, being cat like myself, i was curious. What I experienced was a brief moment in another world, the cat world, where slightly altered rules allowed for new forms of interaction.

This playful edgy experience was not only fun, but left in me and imprint to take back to the human world. While it felt incredibly alien being in it, the reality is that cats are mammals too and not that different from us. So the amount that translated back into my human life was even more shocking than the experience itself.

To use less cryptic language I can say that I gained tools to escalate a friendly relationship into something sensual and intimate, tools to enforce boundaries that I was only meekly asserting previously, and a felt sense of freedom to play out my choices without remorse.โ€

โœจ WHAT IS THE SOMATIC PLAYGROUND? โœจ

๐ŸŒŸ Embodiment classes on Mondays from some of your favorite SoulPlay teachers and more!

๐ŸŒŸ A place for you to learn, embody, and grow somatic, primal, emotional, energetic intelligence

๐ŸŒŸ A space to co-create community with an embodied common language around relating, intimacy, sensuality, and sexuality

๐ŸŒŸ An opportunity to slow down, connect, and move at the pace of trust

๐ŸŒŸ A time to have fun, move, and dance together!

Join us for a series of collaborative exploration at The Somatic Playground! These in-person events will take place on Mondays 7-10pm

Get ready to immerse yourself in a unique experience of connecting with yourself and others in a playful, expressive, & intimate way. Through various somatic exercises and activities, you'll discover new ways to move, connect, let go, and build trust with those around you.

Whether you're a seasoned dancer or have never stepped foot on a dance floor before, this event welcomes everyone. We're cultivating a thoughtful space to explore your body's language, express yourself freely, and connect with like-minded individuals.

In the Somatic Playground, we will cultivate a community of somatic attunement and relational intelligence. Each week, a different facilitator will guide you on a journey of research, play, and practice, honing your abilities to dive into your somatic, emotional, primal, energetic, and relational bodies - learning to listen through touch and taste the pathway of motion. An open jam will follow as a way to continue exploring together sparks and curiosities from class.

So, mark your calendars and come join us at The Somatic Playground for an evening filled with exploration, movement, touch, and connection. Don't miss out on this opportunity to let loose, meet new people, and discover the joy of moving at the rhythm of connection and trust.

๐ŸŒŸ Our Community Agreements

As teachers, facilitators, and participants, while we support everyone engaging with sovereignty (making good choices for themselves and others), we also understand that trauma has huge influence on people's behavior and experience, so we are trauma informed in the ways we teach, engage, and/or participate in these classes. We also recognize and continue to learn to be aware of the power dynamics that exist or might arise as we engage, and seek to level the playing field of power whenever possible, and engage with utmost attunement and consideration for each other.

Erotic energy may emerge but is not the goal. Sensual touch is welcome - we are exploring all that is possible in terms of how we relate to each other through sensing. S3xual touch is not a part of this container. Please reach out with any questions.

๐ŸŒŸ Diversity and Inclusion

For each class series, we seek to include a diverse group of facilitators to express the full range of humanness, bodies, and experience around race, age, gender, identity, sex, sexual orientation, and more. Some series may appear at first glance to favor some subgroups, and while may be accurate that this is what was available at the time, we continue to include facilitators who fit all of these subgroups.

Similarly, and in collaboration with the Bloom/Plura App/Community, we seek to include a diverse group of humans and celebrate all experiences, bodies, and experiences, especially of those who have historically been less favored or appreciated.

Please reach out with any questions.

๐ŸŒŸ Refunds or Transfer

If it ever turns out that a class isn't for you or that you missed a class for any reason, we'll be happy to either refund you or allow you to come to a future class instead. No problem ๐Ÿซถ
