- When was the last time you got your touch needs met?
- Are you single or in a relationship and experiencing skin hunger?
Touch is absolutely crucial for health and wellbeing for all human beings. Touch helps us feel safe, included and regulated. Since COVID more and more people have increasingly been experiencing more Touch Hunger. Touch starvation or hunger is a what is called when you don't get as much physical touch as you're used to - or any at all.
And by touch what is referred to is not the intimate/sexual kind,although this has it's value in a loving, intimate relationship. But rather what is being referred to is holding hands, a hug, a cuddle etc...from siblings, friends, children or from a romantic partner too.
If you cannot remember the last time you got your touch needs met in whichever way was significant to you, you can always:
Seek out opportunities for physical contact with loved ones, cuddling with a pet, or engaging in regular massages or even self-soothing activities like taking a bath or wearing comfortable clothing can help alleviate feelings of touch starvation.
These are just a few options, but here is another option:
Why not join a community where you can get your touch needs met in a platonic, safe, group space where everyone is welcome?
If so... this event could be perfect for you.....
WHAT IS CONNECTING TOUCH EXCHANGE?
Connecting Touch is a bespoke,neuroscience based, healing approach that allows anyone who is lacking touch to experience safe, boundaried touch one on one with another person(s) to get their touch needs met in a platonic way (there is no sexual touch involved at all) in a supervised, group setting. Connecting Touch is suitable for both adult men and women, whether single or in relationships.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A GROUP SESSION?
•After an explanation of what is involved we start.
•We will connect through respectful, boundaried-consent driven touch and massage with others. (We will be rotating in pairs: either with someone of the same sex or of the opposite sex.)Connecting Touch is platonic touch and the process is about learning to touch in a healthy, boundaried manner via light touch that allows for the nervous system to co-regulate. At the same time speaking to the other person in a way that allows each to feel seen and heard.
This event is being run to achieve well-being through platonic touch and connection, empowering communication and practicing asking for what you want. You choose if you want to share nurturing, safe, platonic touch and comforting connection and with whom.
You are encouraged to explore empowering yourself through practicing asking for what you need and want. Get your normal, natural connection needs met in a safe and respectful manner. You are welcome regardless of age, gender identity, sexuality, politics, race, religion, creed, ability etc.... Gender balancing is not the focus: we will be rotating in pairs of the opposite sex as well as the same sex too. For anyone who feels uncomfortable with working with someone of the same sex, you are entitled to say no to this option. Connecting Touch will happen within a group setting only, and will be supervised/monitored throughout to ensure the safety of all attendees.(please read Etiquette for Attending below for further details)
BENEFITS OF ATTENDING:
As a Mastery Facilitator, I will be running this event for anyone wanting to connect with the outdoors, themselves and others. This event will be run outdoors and/or indoors for adults only. This event is great value because it offers a few activities in one event:

All this is on offer in one event in a lovely outdoors spot in the Beddington-Carshalton area, in South London. (The meet up point has been listed where we will all convene and then after 10 minutes move to the event venue which will only be disclosed on the day to attendees that turn up).
