This event welcomes all genders, singles and couples, and all s3xual orientations. You will be participating in guided solo, paired, and group practices. If you are attending with a partner you have the option of participating only with each other in the paired exercises should you prefer to do so.
This event does not follow the usual format of relationship events. You will be doing solo explorations, talk processes and somatic movement in addition to partnered work. This is not a gender balanced event. If you are attending by yourself, you will be relating with many individuals for the sake of practice. If you are attending with a partner you have the choice of remaining paired for the duration of the event.
This course is not a substitute for therapy or medical treatment. If you have a history of trauma, mental health issues or medical conditions, please consult your physician or mental health care practitioner to determine if somatic movement modalities are appropriate for you.
