Platonic Intimacy: A Community Building Toolkit

About this event

Many of us have been conditioned to believe that intimacy is reserved for romantic or sexual relationships, but what if we could work on creating intimacy and trust in all of our connections? How would that change your sense of belonging? How would that change the world?

Led by two passionate facilitators with a background in political activism, we will explore how we can build a society catered to our wants, needs, and desires. How we can build society around love and mutual respect. Because currently, we are forcing ourselves into boxes that only further isolate us from each other, hiding behind politeness and secreting our true desires.

We will embark on a journey of self-discovery and community-building, exploring ways to connect on a deeper level. Through a series of guided exercises and open discussions, we'll share our stories, vulnerabilities, and desires, creating a space for authentic connections to thrive.
This workshop is for anyone* who yearns for more meaningful connections and seeks to challenge the status quo. Let's revolutionize the way we connect with each other!

We recommend you eat a nice meal before coming! We will have many breaks throughout the day and a longer, one-hour break for dinner. Please bring some (preferably vegan) food to share with everyone potluck style :)

*By anyone, we mean ANYONE. No matter your gender, sexuality, race, religion, ability, body size, or any other factor, we want to welcome you into the space. Please reach out with access needs or any questions and concerns you may have around any of these topics.
