Explore the nuanced experience of consensual, stimulating, sensual (not overtly sexual) touch in the ""Dimensions of Touch Workshop."" This class offers a safe(r) and supportive space for participants to become attuned to their own bodily sensations and those of their partners, enhancing their understanding of consent and boundaries. Through eye contact, non-verbal communication, and a variety of touch techniques, attendees will foster deeper connections and learn to express their desires and boundaries confidently. Join us to experience the playful and sensual aspects of connection in a respectful and inclusive environment, emphasizing the values of community and self-awareness.
