The Human Forest is a consensual, devotional touch experience that invites you to embody your boundaries, be present, stay rooted in your heart and embrace the essence of oneness through touch. This is a space where time slows, hearts soften, boundaries are honoured, and through the art of deep embodied listening within community, something ancient awakens. 

Together we will explore the alchemy of touch as a pathway to presence, where every gesture becomes an offering, and every body is honoured. This is a container of sacred play and restorative contact, without ongoing expectation, a space to undertake boundary work, to lean into the art of receiving and being witnessed. 

WHO'S THIS FOR

The Human Forest is for everyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. Whether you're an individual seeking deeper connection, a couple looking to explore the art of non-sexual touch, or a community member curious about the healing power of shared experiences, this space welcomes all who are open to embracing their boundaries and cultivating a sense of oneness. Whether you're young or young at heart, whether you identify as male, female, non-binary, or anywhere along the gender spectrum, you'll find a nurturing environment where your presence is honored, and your heart can feel safe to open. Join us in this sacred journey of connection and self-discovery, where each person is celebrated and valued for their unique contribution to the collective experience.

WHAT TO EXPECT 

We begin with a grounding circle, connection exercises and an explanation of the framework of the Human Forest to create shared language and agreements.

In the Human Forest, we become the ecology, connected through consensual, symbiotic, loving touch. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be guided gently into a world where consent is sacred, and boundaries are celebrated.

Half of the room will begin as trees, blindfolded, whose role is to receive loving, devotional touch from the other half of the room (the critters). Everyone will have the opportunity to experience being both a tree and a critter, twice! Communication within the Forest container will be expressed non verbally. 

These events can be powerful healing opportunities. When the heart opens, whether through touch, connection, beauty, or presence, the emotional landscape can be vast and deeply personal. Participants may experience love, joy, tenderness, grief, trust, sadness, playfulness and empowerment. Our priority is supporting participants to leave our feeling open, cared for and loved in their belonging. 

Are you open to trusting yourself?  To being part of a community that is awakening to the heart opening, honest, restorative power of non-expectational touch? Let yourself be held. Let yourself give. Let yourself soften into something beautifully human.
