What is the Human Forest?

The Human Forest Experience is an ecosystem connected by consensual touch.

It's an experiential exploration of discovering the touch we truly love to give and receive.

Half of the room will be trees that are blindfolded and receive a loving, devotional touch from the other half of the room (the critters). The trees then become critters and the critters become trees so that everyone has the opportunity to experience both giving and receiving.

At the beginning of the night, participants are taught the four signature hand gestures to use in the Human Forest instead of communicating verbally: 'I love this, more please', 'Not that but please keep touching me', 'I am complete with this connection' and 'I am feeling a connection to you and would love to know who you are'.

Boundaries are also established for the group regarding which body parts are allowed to be touched, as this is a non-sexual event, although all levels of dress and undress are welcome down to underwear.

Whether you consider yourself an open person or not, these events allow you to explore your openness to receive touch and connect with what sort of energy you bring when giving to another human being. These events can be powerful, healing opportunities for participants to experience intimacy and joy, which you can then take with you into other relationships throughout your lives.

Our priority is that you leave our events feeling open, cared for, and loved!
