This seminar has already taken place. This page remains as part of our learning journey; registration is closed.
A gathering dedicated to the quality of contact: finding support within a therapeutic relationship, respecting boundaries and listening without pressure to achieve a particular outcome.
What we will explore
- Presence and the relational field
- Safety, boundaries and mutual agreement
- Sensitive touch and receptive listening
The focus of the gathering
The focus was on exploring safe contact through direct experience and considering its relevance to therapeutic work. The quality of the relationship mattered alongside the placement of the hands.
How we will work
Our approach connects anatomical orientation with guided perception, sensitive touch, reflection and shared experience. Practical work rests on mutual agreement, the freedom to adjust contact and respect for each person's pace.
