About Touch&Play

Touch&Play is an exciting and growing global network of local communities that come together around a set of shared practices and a common culture. We’ve been organizing retreats and community gatherings since 2010 and have held events in 16 different countries and 4 different continents. Our events strike a balance between the local context and culture where a retreat takes places and the global embodied, humanistic and spiritual practices and values that underpin our work. In the end we are striving to build a deeply caring and seriously playful world where we can live authentically and in peace with ourselves and our communities. My Intensive At the core of this dance intensive is our ability to be permeable — in encounters, in movement, and with touch.

Our longing for flow, connection, and intimacy is tricky: these states can’t be produced on demand. Like falling asleep, they come to us. Rather than adding to our system through trying and wanting, in this workshop we investigate how to be reached, how to be moved, what is needed so the world comes to us.

Our journey begins by inhabiting the body. We dance. We play. We meet. 

We research a state of falling and expanding through relaxation — not forcing, but letting go of control and embracing the unknown. 

Falling can become flying…

I wish to create a space where we research with soft precision — where we slow down, allow the nervous system to calm, and learn to engage in relating from a place within. Registration here: https://cologne.touchandplay.org/offerings/
