Embodied Connection: Exploring Authentic Relating through Touch w/ Zach Kalatsky
Embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and connection at "Embodied Connection: Exploring Authentic Relating through Touch." Join us for a 2.5-hour somatically attuned evening filled with an understanding of boundaries touch.
During this immersive experience, you'll have the opportunity to listen deeply to your body, discern the nuances of a true "yes," and honor even the subtlest twinge of a "no." We'll explore what it means to connect with our senses without any agenda beyond the present moment, diving into the depths of discomfort and joy alongside others.
"Embodied Connection" invites you to engage with your inner desires and boundaries, practicing deep listening and navigating the delicate art of rejection and acceptance. What arises within you when faced with the prospect of rejection? Do you shy away from reaching out for fear of hearing "no"? Do you freeze instead of saying “no”?
Through interactive exercises, we'll delve into authentic somatic communication, cultivating self-awareness, empathy, and emotional intelligence. Discover the profound joy of being truly seen and understood by yourself and others as we foster meaningful connections through the practice of Authentic Relating.
These exercises simplify the connection process with structured, guided experiences that will lead you on a journey of inquiry and body awareness unlike any other form of group connecting I’ve experienced. Join us for an evening of exploration, vulnerability, and authentic connection.

FAQS
Sliding Scale Pool: While there is technically no sliding scale at The Forest Haven, there is a sliding scale pool.
Here's how it works: Some community members pay more than the ticket price, and this surplus is deposited into an escrow-like account. This money is reserved and utilized when someone lacks the financial means to attend. This system operates seamlessly, enabling people to attend for any amount within their means. It also ensures facilitators are fully compensated without revealing who availed of this service.
If your financial means would not allow you to come to this gathering, please message me directly and we will talk about dipping into the Sliding Scale Pool.
Refunds: The Forest Haven does not offer refunds. If someone pays and can't attend, they are encouraged to transfer their entry to a friend and notify me of the transfer. In the event of a sold-out gathering, any extra funds from those unable to attend will contribute to the sliding scale pool for the community's benefit.
