Touch & Play 2024 - Shadowdance

Shadow Dance
July 27th- August 1st 2024
A retreat to embrace our light and darkness.

book: https://uk.touchandplay.org/

In this universe where there is light, there must be a shadow. Shadow proves the light. The brighter the light the darker the shadow is. Shadow is the soul of light.
 

We will explore our shadow and our light throughout this gathering. Where do you shine brightly and what do you keep hidden in darkness?

Our pleasures, our hidden desires. Our holding back, our fears, our personal teachers.

We hope to hold each other as we learn to explore, respect and integrate into who we long to become.

This year we will create more space for rest, digest and connect in between the exciting and revealing experiences.

We invite you to come and explore your shadows together with us through dance, relational body, sexuality, kink, touch & play!
