INTENSIVES
There will be 3 Intensive Classes which run parallel during most mornings of the retreat.
You pick one intensive and stay with it for the duration of the event. This allows the intensive facilitators to take their group on a journey where they can build very unique experiences. This is often one of the most memorable experiences at Toch & Play, with powerful insights, deep learning and personal transformation.
WORKSHOPS
We will journey together through a series of facilitated workshops, semi structured (evening) experiences, rituals and co-created group processes. As the days unfold, the content will slowly evolve to explore the deeper and edgier spaces of embodied relationality.
COMMUNITY OFFERINGS (Offered by participants)
Everyone is invited to offer their superpowers to the group. Maybe you want to hold space for a focus group discussion during a meal, offer a performance or facilitate a workshop. Proposals will be selected based on the groups interests and motivations.
RITUALS & EVENING
OFFERINGS
Evenings will be semi-structured explorations, with space for dance, play, magic and sacredness.
In our revelry we remember to honor the seen and unseen energies that are dancing with us on this journey. We cultivate intentional spaces to be in reverence and relationship with the sacred spark of aliveness in everything. With love we offer and with love we receive.
We embrace our desires, creating awareness into our shadows and our interdependecy, and we will invite sensuality and sexuality into our dances when it feels right.
Evening with Eros and Kink
To be determined
By delving into the dark world of Rope, Role, Power and Sensation Play we choose a path of liberation. Confronting and embracing our shadows we hope to dispel shame , build confidence and find integrity in our boundaries and desires. This evening fusion explores the tools, terminology, and nuances of setting up scenes and/or experiences through the nuanced approaches & lenses of BDSM, Kink & Eros. Beginning with a short performance and demo, followed by Q&A with experienced players, and then flowing into self guided exploration.
Somatic Grief & Prayer Ritual
To be determined
Collectively embracing our pain and sorrows allows us to digest and transform them. Being seen and held in our grief supports genuine connection.
This ritual is centered around a simple, embodied practice inspired by the teachings of Sobonfu Somé. It invites grief, love, prayer, and presence to flow through the body, releasing what no longer serves us and cultivating more spaciousness in and around the heart.
Liquid Love
To be determined
An Immersive Sensual Experience of Communion. The Liquid Love Ritual is a collective journey of the senses. It is an exploration of sensuality in its purest form and can invoke a strong feeling of love for oneself, one’s community and for life itself.
Exploratorium
To be determined
A space to explore the different possibilities of sensuality, play and touch. Areas to explore with a Guardian or a pair of guardians that can be replaced thru the evening. The areas would vary depending on the emergent offerings.
MUSIC AND DANCE
OFFERINGS & ARTIST IN RESIDENCY
Our time together
rituals · workshops · experiences
In a span of six days we’ll be offering a container to play and discover within the foundations of the Touch&Play Project.
We will be collectively cultivating the space to dance, discover and connect within the framework of this off the beat micro culture.
There will be a variety of facilitated classes around (the edges of) Contact Improvisation, Movement, Consent & Communication, Self-Exploration, Sensuality & Sexuality, BDSM, Nature&Wilderness, Community and Spirituality.
Also we’ll make sure there are free slots which allow time to breath, integrate, connect further or which might be space for some voluntary community offerings.
We like to keep a certain flexibility in structure for needs that arise out of the group process, such as discussions, rituals, singing circles, jams and additional creative content.
Our time together begins with an opening circle ritual and cultivating a community of care through our consent framework.
After starting together in a daily morning ritual, each morning we will have the opportunity to take one intensive and going deep with the same facilitator and group.
The afternoons will hold single classes, community offerings, ritual, and spaciousness to rest, play and integrate.
Evenings are full of dance, play and exploration.
Touch&Play is alive. The organisers reserve the right to change or make adjustments to the schedule or teaching team at any given time and with short notice.
Thank you for your understanding.
The Touch&Play Movement
15 years of experience
Founded in 2010 the Touch&Play Project has a rich background in facilitating and creating different fusions/compositions of learning spaces around the exploration of the “Relational Body“. Through it’s community care structures (e.g. soothe&care, peace council) it offers a safer container to invite our emotions, sexualities, body politics and power dynamics into dance and relating. Core values are inclusivity, authenticity, physicality, embodied consent, post-positive sexuality, bdsm-friendliness and community building.
