Embrace the rainbow of connection with shared meditation, massage sharing and warm hugs at this small-scale event for all genders and orientations.
Upcoming dates:
SUN 9 February 2025 – Amsterdam
Bring your pajamas!
We'll be meeting in the afternoon, but we invite you to come in your pajamas for our Playful Platonic Pajama Party! It'll be fun, an oasis of acceptance and warmth where people of all gender identities and sexual orientations can come together to explore the power of platonic touch. Join us to celebrate diversity, foster genuine connections, and create a space where everyone feels valued and embraced.
Good to Know
Cuddling, meditating and exchanging massages are all healthy practices that we should do more often. Hormones and pheromones such as oxytocin reduce your stress levels and are good for your body and mind. Touching makes you more confident in yourself and others. You can recharge your batteries and release stress.
Safe and inclusive vibes
Our workshop creates a judgement-free zone where participants can be their authentic selves. We celebrate diversity and embrace every unique identity, creating an environment where everyone feels seen and accepted. No matter your gender identity, orientation or background, this workshop is designed to celebrate the rich tapestry of human connection. Discover the joy of platonic touch in an open-minded and supportive community. We support each other in taking steps towards greater vulnerability, to seize opportunities for personal growth and self-discovery by opening your heart.
Empowering exercises
You can come to this workshop and open the space to meet new people, enjoy great conversations, touch, be touched, have fun, practice asking for what you want, practice saying “no” to what you don’t want – all in an environment structured as a place for relaxation, exploration and fun. We start with an opening circle and a meditation, to arrive in the space and come to your true self. In the massage corner we give a short massage instruction and you can practice these movements. In the next corner we give different options for hugging and holding each other. After these guided activities to promote trust, communication and understanding, you can enter the open space. Every 15 minutes you can choose whether you feel like a moment for yourself, a chat, a massage exchange or a ‘free-style’ hug. You will have enough time to relax, share a back massage or other welcome touch, have a cup of tea and a snack or just hang out.
