Register your pairWe all long to relax in connection
_______
To feel understood. To feel close to the people we care about. To be able to soften, let down our guard, and be ourselves.
Yet it's surprisingly difficult. Even with people we love, we can remain tense or distracted, caught up in the busyness of life, our own thoughts, worries and reactions. We can be together without really feeling connected.
And sometimes we lose connection with ourselves too. We stop noticing what we're actually feeling, sensing and needing.
Awakening Through Touch is an invitation to slow down and come back into connection, first with yourself and then with another.
Through deep attention to non-verbal cues and subtle body language such as breath, movement, posture, and feeling, you'll learn to listen to what the body is communicating, and explore how conscious, compassionate touch can help you relax and deepen in connection.
This practice of embodied listening nurtures trust and understanding. As we become more sensitive to what is actually happening, new possibilities for connection begin to open.
More presence. More aliveness. More magic.
_______
Deep listening is an act of love
_______
When we try to connect, we often bring an agenda without even realising it. We want to help, please, fix, get it right, be understood, have our own needs met, or create a particular response.
And when something feels uncomfortable, it's easy to defend, withdraw, react or try to change what is happening.
Deep listening asks something different of us.
We practise staying connected to ourselves while meeting another person with attention, curiosity and care.
Rather than trying to make something happen, we learn to notice what their body is communicating and respond with sensitivity.
Through conscious touch we are creating the conditions for inner awakening.
Touch becomes a form of non-verbal communication. A way of listening - not just giving or taking.
And both people can be profoundly touched by what unfolds.
What we'll explore
_______
Unwinding & Feeling Safe
Explore what helps you tune in and feel ready to lean into connection.
Listening within
Become aware of sensation, breath, movement, impulse and the subtle communication of your body.
Meeting Another
Practise staying connected to yourself while becoming more attuned and responsive to another.
Listening Beyond Words
Explore presence, body signals, and touch as forms of non-verbal communication.
Conscious Touch
Explore touch with curiosity, sensitivity and respect, without needing to perform, fix or achieve anything.
You'll be guided gradually through individual and paired practices, with time to arrive, experience, reflect and integrate.
There is nothing to perform and nothing to get right.
This is a space to relax and enjoy what feels good for you.
Awakening Through Touch may speak to you if ...
- You love each other, but somehow you've lost some of the closeness you once had. Life is full, you're tired, there are children, work, responsibilities... and intimacy keeps getting pushed to another day.
-
You miss feeling really met by your partner.
Conversations can so easily become misunderstandings, reactions or attempts to fix things, when what you really want is to feel listened to and understood. -
You want intimacy, but your body isn't always ready to go there.
You may long for more closeness, affection or sex, but find it difficult to shift from the busyness and stress of everyday life into relaxation, openness and connection.
- The ways you used to connect don't work quite as they once did. Bodies change. Relationships change. What feels good, what helps you open and what you need from each other can change too. You'd like to learn how to listen again.
-
You'd love to understand your partner more deeply, or help them understand you.
Not only through talking, but by becoming more sensitive to breath, posture, movement, touch and all the things our bodies communicate without words. -
Or perhaps you're exploring this for yourself.
You want to feel more at ease in your own body, understand what helps you soften and open, and become more confident creating the kind of connection you long for.You don't need to have a problem in your relationship to come. You may simply want to slow down together, discover another way of meeting, and deepen something that already matters to you.
Come with someone you trust
_______
This is not only a couples workshop.
You are invited to come with one person you already feel safe and comfortable exploring with. They might be your partner or a friend.
You will practise together throughout the workshop, so there is no need to be paired with a stranger.
You do not need to have a romantic or sexual relationship with the person you bring.
Touch will be conscious and non-sexual. You are always free to choose what feels right for you and to adapt or opt out of any practice. This is a clothes-on experience.
No previous experience of embodiment, bodywork or Tantra is needed.
Your Guide
_______
Georgina 'Laiya' Peard
Georgina is an embodiment and intimacy coach, massage therapist and bodyworker with more than 20 years' experience working through the body and touch.
Her work brings together bodywork, embodied awareness, deep listening, nervous-system-informed practice and contemplative wisdom.
At the heart of Georgina's work is an enquiry into how we create the conditions for deeper connection: with ourselves, with another, with nature and with the mystery of what can emerge when we truly meet.
Sometimes, in that space, we may encounter Grace.
