Over dit evenement
Welcome friend,
Could you also use more safe and nourishing touch and cuddling?
Then this gathering is for you as it is about creating exactly that.
A safe and nourishing container for group nervous system co-regulation with a clear set of values, loving agreements, and healthy platonic boundaries.
THE WHY BEHIND MUSHING
Mushing is a specifiek way of conscious cuddling. It facilitates sensitivity, and full attunement to yourself and others. Bottom line, we need this more than ever in our worlds.
This is a place to open your heart and experience unconditional love and acceptance 💖.
We are exploring being in authentic somatic connection rooted in respect and consent.
IMPORTANT CONTAINER INFORMATION
1. This is in an explicitly non-sexual container.
2. We request you come sober - no mood altering substances.
3. Please arrive on time (6:50pm). There will be no late entry.
YOUR INVITATION
1. We will gather in a circle for a welcome round and a checkin of who you are and how you are doing tonight.
2. One of our facilitators will share core MUSH agreements with everyone. Kind reminders so that we are all on the same page.
3. We will then go into practicing touch positive consent, that will deepen the trust among us and prepare us for a relaxing cuddle time.
This will include:
- clear non-verbal signaling similar to contact improvisational dance, however slower in motion.
- demonstrate what a freeze or fawn response looks like, so everyone can recognize that mixed signals are always a no.
- celebrate, honor and thank each person for their no. A no for you is a yes for themselve. We appreciate selfcare highly. Besides, you want to be closer to someone who is a full body yes, right ;-).
4. Then we will go into the MUSHING itself. Usually some of you are already experienced and can assist each other. Now it is time for a lot of platonic nourishing cuddling.
5. At around 9:45 pm we will UNMUSH and meet each other in the closing circle. By then you are probably buzzing with serotonine, oxytocine and dopamine. At 10 pm we probably hug and say "See you in 2 weeks."
If you have questions, please just reach out.
We are looking forward to experiencing a nourishing space with you,
David, Cathy and Sabrina
