The Team
Marie/Murry Eyeball
Curator
Marie/Murry’s (fae/they/she/eyeball) primary partnership is with the meandering magic of the Muse. Living in devotion to creativity, fae shapeshifts between and beyond archetypal roles of boundless bard, dream druid, death doula, & cosmic clown creature. Their offerings are a convergence of creativity, connectivity, sensuality & ritual. Murry has facilitated several intensives and labs at Touch & Play Mexico & US, exploring the ecosensual & archetypal somatics of intimate explorations. Both a contact dancer & vocal improviser, the union of movement and sound is at the core of her practice of somatic instrumentation. In reverence & revelry- Eye am so delighted to play and pray with you all.

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.
