Coombe Wood is a small (14.25 acres) woodland and garden area in the old village of Coombe, South Croydon near the junction of Coombe Lane and Conduit Lane. The Coombe Wood Gardens are divided into a series of rooms which together give an all-year-round display of shrubs and plants set against a woodland backdrop.

WHAT IS CONNECTING TOUCH?

Connecting Touch is a Neuroscience and Energy Healing approach that allows anyone who is lacking in being touched(skin hunger) 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).

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A CONNECTING TOUCH WORKSHOP?

To start there will be an introduction explaining and then showing the process. We will then be working in rotating pairs to start the practical work of Connecting Touch. Attendees will be paired with others from the opposite sex and/or their own gender. This depends on who turns up and the numbers. So please be aware that you could be doing connecting touch with someone of the same sex or someone 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.

BENEFITS OF ATTENDING:

•Enjoy nature, while connecting to it and getting the benefits from it through the activities of Walking Meditation and Forest Bathing.

•Connect with like minded people.

•Get your touch needs met.

•Calm down.

•We will learn how to ask permission to touch another in a way that feels safe to them and honours them. We will learn the different ways that women experience touch compared to men and how the craving for touch is processed in the brain differently between the sexes and why this happens.

•We will learn how to listen to our bodies and how they react when we are touched in a manner that makes us feel fully seen and accepted.

•We will learn how to be fully present to one self and another.

Connecting Touch is suitable for both men and women, whether single or in relationships, as the touch and communication done and learnt in a Connecting Touch session will enhance and deepen connection with others.

This magical outdoor event is for anyone who wants to reconnect with nature, themselves and others and focus on healing their bodies, minds and souls!
