Beloveds…
There is so much of us here…
Ready to see you.
Ready to receive you.
What makes our connections real?
Each of us carries our own stories, histories, and perceptions of reality.
Then — universes collide…
Our stories touch other stories.
Our bodies meet other bodies.
Our inner worlds brush up with the shared world.
We live inside webs of relationship:
with our own sensations, desires, and erotic aliveness,
with other humans,
with the more-than-human world
a living ecology of beings, elements, and unseen forces in constant conversation.
This year, we gather to strengthen our community and to deepen the bonds of mutual support as a living, breathing experience of embodied counter-culture.
Together we will root into our prosilience, learning to grow our personal and collective container beyond its original shape through vulnerability, honesty, grief, conflict, and repair.
We ask:
Who do we choose to see—and to listen to?
What do we accept, what do we desire, what do we refuse?
How do these choices ripple into society and the living world?
And how might we shift humanity’s path through mutual care, the courage to speak truth to power and eros as a force of creativity and life?
We explore what it means to meet one another
not as problems to solve,
but as ecosystems to listen to…
Alive in our wildness, our wisdom, and our capacity to transform ourselves and the world around us.
Touch&Play embodies an international movement – a sexy, embodied and deeply heart-centered family – rooted in various local communities across the globe, exploring the Relational Body.
Touch&Play is an exciting and growing global network of local communities that come together around a set of shared practices and a common culture.
We’ve been organizing retreats and community gatherings since 2010 and have held events in 16 different countries and 4 different continents.
Our events strike a balance between the local context and culture where a retreat takes places and the global embodied, humanistic and spiritual practices and values that underpin our work. In the end we are striving to build a deeply caring and seriously playful world where we can live authentically and in peace with ourselves and our communities.
10 years of growth at the East Coast of the USA
Touch&Play organitsation has been growing and evolving alongside the western mass and USA community. From its humble beginnings, it has flourished into a thriving culture—one that has shaped us, challenged us, and held us in profound transformation.

We are crafting the experience
Touch&Play gatherings are co-creations that emerges from an intimate collaboration between the curation team, and the teachers, artists, helpers and participants that join the retreat. We’re an experimental container and open to inspiring off-beat ideas that can support the wider Touch&Play exploration of the Relation Body.
Teacher applications are now open. Once the team is selected, we will share detailed information about the full lineup and offerings.
Applications are also open for Inclusivity tickets and those interested in joining the Helpers Team as another way to collaborate and/or for those in financial need.
In the meantime, we're offering a limited number of early bird tickets. Reserving your ticket in advance not only secures your spot but also helps our organization create a better, more seamless production.
