Into the Woods

an Ecosystem of Human Touch

🌿 Into the Woods is part workshop and part sensory experience;
a space for exploring safe & affectionate touch in a consent led and sober environment 🌿

**We invite you to invest a little time and energy in reading below and following the links so that you feel prepared, open hearted, and motivated to explore the depths of your kindness and the depths to which you can receive. **

Into the Woods is an immersive setting for exploring the power of touch through playful activities, including blindfolds and hand signals to express desires & communicate needs. We aim to make this an accesible and inclusive gathering for any and all expressions of gender, sexuality, physicality, and neurodiversity. If you have any needs or concerns please reach out. We'll be in a nice cozy venue by the way, not in the woodlands this time!

The central element of our gathering is The Human Forest, a wonderfully simple yet powerful practice that allows for safe, intimate, non-sexual touch amongst those present. Through this mindful touch the body can discover new dimensions of joy and healing; there’s a certain magic that occurs that’s impossible to convey in words. A real celebration of connection, presence, and the transformative power of human contact.

📽️ Here’s a sneak peak of what to expect. (Video - 1min)

 The Human Forest

The day’s work will begin with a grounding in consent informed by Jenn Wilson’s Consent Compass. Please have a read through the basics of this model to familiarise yourself with the principles - The Consent Compass 🧭 (12m Read).

We will also be working within the founding principles of The Human Forest Project…

🌳 Respect
🌳 Self-Responsibility
🌳 Curiosity
🌳 Creativity & Connection
🌳 Confidentiality

The afternoon will be a balance between physical activity and gentle conversation about what we need to feel safe enough to connect fully with the people in our lives, even those we’ve just met.

“These gatherings spark healing, growth,

and the deep knowing that we must care for ourselves,

for each other, and for the planet.”

_ The Human Forest Project _

🎒 What to Bring

☁️ Comfortable Clothing that allows easy movement

💧 A Water bottle (drinks will be available too)

📓 A journal and pen if you’d like to reflect on the experience whilst there

💸 Cash Money if it’s convenient, for an easy exchange of value, contactless is good also…

---

Which leads to the question…

🪙 How much is it?

Why is a full afternoon workshop with two experienced facilitators only £1?

It’s not just any pound, it’s Your Best Pound!

It is your AGENCY. It is your personal free will, capability, and capacity to choose to spend your time with us.

And time is precious, so we won’t try and tell you what your time or indeed our time is worth! You only know the value of something once it’s in your hand, so to speak.

So we invite you to have a think about how much you’d be willing to spend on a really enriching experience. More so, we invite you to think how much you could spend without it having any significant impact on your life. This amount may be vastly different from others' depending on circumstance. Write the figure down if it helps. Then come join us and once you’ve explored The Human Forest then you decide how much Your Best Pound is actually worth, maybe the amount you wrote down, maybe a bit less, maybe a lot more, whatever you have to give transforms Your Best Pound into Your Blessed Pound, and all of it goes towards giving your hosts the resources to bring more work into the world!

⚙️ How does it work?

After registering on here for a Pound you’ll receive an email with a phone number and some instructions. Once you are certain of your attendance you can follow the instructions whenever you like to secure your place. Note we only have room for 10 people this time.

If you’d like to register but are not sure if you’ll attend yet please feel free to do so. We’ll be offering any remaining places to those who have registered a few days before the gathering. There’s no refund for the registration, but your Best Pound is good for the next two events and you’ll hear about them before they go live.

We are all accountable for the impact our choices make, on ourselves and those around us. By holding this space for you for just Your Best Pound, you have the freedom to pay what you want with consideration, and genuinely within your means. There’s no ‘low-income’ or ‘abundant’ ticket, just whatever you can genuinely afford, and what you honestly think the experience is worth.

Well done, you made it all the way down here! We would love for you to feel as invested as we do so take some time to explore the links above too!

We’ll leave you with these wise words from our dear friend, musician Tom McQ…

“There’s only one nation in the world,
**and that’s the imagination. **
There, there are no barriers.
There, there are no divides.
There, there are no fences.
There… we are one"
