The Touch Collective- Awakening The Body: A Weekend of Sensual Connection & Exploration
December 5th–7th, 2025 @ The Forest Haven in Saugerties, NY
Welcome to The Touch Collective. A weekend gathering of community members coming together to explore connection, sensuality, and the art of embodied relating.
Nestled deep within 53 private acres of forest, The Forest Haven is a sanctuary for rest and reconnection. We’ll gather inside the hand-built round house, warmed by radiant floors and a wood stove. Sleeping will be cozy and communal- bring the bedding of your choice arranged in the loft, held by the gentle hum of the forest.
This is an invitation to slow down, listen to your body, and rediscover the joy of shared presence. Over the course of the weekend, we’ll weave experiences that invite curiosity, tenderness, play, and respect. Together we’ll co-create a living field of care, through shared meals, co-led offerings, soft edges, and authentic connection.
There will be about 15 of us, and each person is invited to offer something they’d love to lead- a ritual, a meditation, a dance, a game, or a practice that nourishes touch, presence, or joy. The structure will form around what emerges, leaving plenty of time to wander the land, soak in the hot tub, rest by the wood stove, savor food, and connect in whatever ways feel alive.
This space is for those who feel comfortable exploring their needs while staying attuned to others, able to ask for help, voice boundaries and desires, and honor the autonomy and bodies of others with reverence.
Weekend Flow
• Friday evening: Arrival & soft connection- a sensual, “keep undies on” night to meet one another gently.
• Saturday: Clothing-optional day with shared agreements around consent, cleanliness, and care.
• Saturday night: Optional medicine exploration for those who wish to journey in this way.
• Thursday & Monday: Optional integration days for slower arrivals or spacious goodbyes.
Exchange: $150–$250 sliding scale to cover the space, food, and shared costs. If there’s overflow, organizers will receive a small stipend.
The Touch Collective is a seed, a beginning of something that can grow. A space where we remember how good it feels to be in our bodies, to connect with honesty, and to trust the rhythm of what unfolds.
With love,
Zach, Ari & Luna
