The Human Forest, is a 2.5 hour guided experience into loving conscious touch, deeper connection, and authentic relating. Through this container we restore the mind, rejuvenate and nourish the body, and fill our cup through the loving and caring touch we will have received by others.

This is a space to let your guard down, drop in a little deeper and relax. All exercises will be beautifully guided, and safely contained, by certified Human Forest Project facilitator Lu Alexa and her support team. Some touch exercises will be with eyes open, and others will be with eyes closed through the use of blindfolds. The reason we use blindfolds is to minimize the judging mind that may come in and make judgements based on ‘who’ it is that is giving us touch. We are here to practice receiving and feeling deeply into the sensations in our body. We are given full power to say no to any touch that we do not like through using hand gestures that we will learn in the workshop.

This event is not sexually focussed. We are coming together to focus on sensory awareness, to give and receive nourishment, to cultivate deeper connection with ourselves and others, and to heal emotional traumas in the body through relaxation and touch.

This is a non-judgmental space and we ask that you refrain from attending if you do not feel that you would be comfortable to be in such a containers. It is okay to have discomfort and we have a support team for this reason, however, we are doing our best to create an environment where those who are ready can be given the opportunity to practice, receive and give.

Containers such as The Human Forest can be deeply healing, transformative and life-changing. Practicing the art of touch; giving and receiving with mindfulness and awareness, can help us deepen and create more safety in many of our relationships.. with friends, families, partners and our community.

What to bring?

Just bring yourself, water, and wear comfortable clothing that you feel good in and good to move in.

We suggest eating lightly beforehand as we won’t be stopping for a food break in between. However, we will provide some light food for grounding at the end of the workshop!
