EMBODIED CONNECTION PLAYSHOP

Movement, Play, Presence & Community

What happens when we get out of our heads, drop into our bodies and hearts, and give ourselves permission to play?

Join me in Sunnyvale for an afternoon of movement, laughter, Authentic Relating, improv, presence, heartfelt sharing, and connection in motion.

We’ll get a little silly, move our bodies, make eye contact, connect in pairs and small groups, explore consent-based touch and partner movement, and make space for both playfulness and depth.

Come solo, with a partner, or with friends. No partner or previous experience is needed.

Everything is an invitation. You’re always welcome to pass, modify an activity, take a break, or participate in the way that feels right for you.
