This is a gathering about dance, play, vulnerability and building a community rich in emotional, sensorial and erotic intelligence.
In this first edition here in Brazil, Touch&Play arrives gently, yet with the desire to surprise. An old idea that was just waiting for the right moment to be revealed.
“Reveal” is the theme, as an impulse of courage to bring something fresh to this territory—a retreat that has, at its core, the meeting of our creativity and most authentic expression.
Revealing what is ready to be uncovered, both inside and outside of you.
We all carry something unique to reveal—a desire that pulses to be expressed, a dance, a song, a whispered truth that perhaps we’ve never told anyone. We all have something precious waiting to be unveiled.
So come with curiosity. Touch&Play is a celebration of your authentic self, a space to explore the beauty hidden in our truest expression.
In this first edition here in Brazil, Touch&Play arrives gently, yet with the desire to surprise. An old idea that was just waiting for the right moment to be revealed.
Welcome!
With deep love for this project and for the spirit of co-creation, we extend this offer to you, whether you are a new comer or you come with a beginner’s mind. We want to welcome you to this diverse community of dancers, somatic explorers and authentically embodied humans.
Touch&Play is an international movement – a sexy, adventurous, embodied and deeply heart-centered family – that is finding it’s way to Brazil for the first time.
This first year we will weave our threads of imagination & inspiration to create an exuberantly soft tapestry for this stimulating and caring container
Our T&P Discovery Retreats are filled with inspiring offers that form the bedrock of the Touch&Play work and culture. During these smaller and more intimate retreats a single track of programming helps build a strong group field and a deeply shared journey. Our schedule, while structured, has flexibility to shift to the needs and wishes of the group and our facilitators might adapt the order and content of certain offerings to enhance the community’s experience.
We start with a deep dive into Touch&Play’s Embodied Consent Work learning to express our desires and boundaries in effective ways. Each day our core hosts and facilitators will offer a number of diverse workshops to familiarize folks with the different T&P values and practices.
We’ll play with Contact Improvisation and its edges, and allow sensuality and sexuality to enter our dances when this feels aligned. For the curious at heart, we’ll also be offering a safer space to explore Power, Role, Rope and Sensation Play. Our evenings are reserved for jams, rituals and semi structured spaces for self-guided play and dance.
The whole journey will center community building processes such as morning check-ins, sharing groups, shared meals and singing circles. To enhance the co-creational aspect of the gathering participants might be invited to share an offering of their own during one of the days of the retreat.
The Touch&Play work focuses on an exploration of The Relational Body and activities are drawn from practices that include: Contact Improvisation, conscious sexuality, Dance, The Oracle, Kink, Gender exploration and queerness, Tantra, Grief work, Primal play, Eco-somatics and sexuality, Non-Violent Communication, Rope play, Polyamory, Restorative Justice, Authentic movement, Play Fighting and Expressive arts.

It acknowledges that embracing life is as much about celebrating strengths and virtues, as it is about knowing one’s limits, and shadows, thus fostering a creative journey of self-discovery and growth.

ABOUT THE TOUCH&PLAY MOVEMENT
“Leave your relationships more beautiful than you found them.”
While Classical Contact Improvisation asks what happens when two bodies meet in space, Touch&Play explores what can happen when two (or more) human beings meet.
