Touch is a fundamental human need- regulating, soothing, and deeply connective. Yet in modern culture, touch is often sexualised, misunderstood, or constrained, leaving many of us uncertain how to offer or receive it with ease.
Attuned Touch invites you into a carefully held space where touch is approached as nourishment rather than performance. We move slowly and consciously, listening to the rhythms of the nervous system. With clear boundaries, conscious consent, and attentive facilitation, tenderness and authentic connection are allowed to emerge in their own time.
Through guided practices, both solo and in pairs, we explore:
Giving and receiving touch with clarity, care, and consent
Listening to the body’s signals and honoring personal boundaries
Discovering what kinds of touch feel supportive, pleasurable, or simply enough
Meeting touch beyond gender roles and expectation
Embodied movement exploration inspired by contact improvisation, where touch becomes fluid, playful, and alive through shared movement, weight, and responsiveness
This is a structured and respectful container for touch that is intimate without being performative, playful without pressure. As safety grows, the nervous system can soften, and trust can gently unfold.
Expect warmth, spaciousness, and moments of stillness. Every exercise is an invitation, and never an expectation.
Open to adults. You are welcome to come alone or with a partner.
Facilitated by Marie "Murry" Echo
Marie Echo aka Murry (pronouns: fae/they/she) is organizer and facilitator of Touch & Play events globally. At one point in her life, she would have identified as "not a touchy person" due to fear in the body from a dogmatic religious upbringing and sexual assault. After their first experience at a Touch & Play gathering and growing interest in Contact Improvisation dance, they began to reclaim the power and beauty of consensual touch, learning to identify, trust and advocate for their needs and attune to the nervous systems of their connections with both verbal and energetic curiosity.
