WHO CAN I BE WITH YOU?

Welcome to Touch&Play Germany 2025

For the seventh time we will dance and play at Nature Community, a plush all inclusive retreat center southeast of Germany, surrounded by lush nature and hosted by a community that supports our practice.

Over six days we’ll be offering the space to explore and expand the Touch&Play culture through dance, somatic practices and other creative forms of relating to each other, ourselves and the world.

We start our gathering by ensuring a common ground through an opening circle and consent work. Once people feel more grounded and connected they have the opportunity to dive into deeper and more experimental forms of connection.

Every day we are starting together with a meeting, followed by a variety of facilitated intensive workshops and single classes around Contact Improvisation, Movement & Dance, Conscious Sexuality, Sensation, Power and Role Play…, to give an idea of the direction. This year's program is not yet curated. Once ready, it will be published on our website and earlybrd sales will closed t give sapce fr the standard tickets.

WHO CAN I BE WITH YOU?

I am me, cause I am not you, but it’s the way you are that brings something out in me. Can you discover your sinner, your saint, your beauty or beast with me? Do you make me feel bolder, wiser, cheeky, aware?

The questions "Who can I be with you?" or “Who can you be with me?” call us to stretch beyond our familiar edges and to lean into the surprising ways we transform in relationships with others. Who we are isn’t static; we are constantly evolving, shaped by the unique sparks of connection we create with one another. Sometimes, we meet parts of ourselves only because someone else draws them out—unexpected and alive. It’s not about your true self. It’s about discovering the vastness of who we can become—together.

Through contact improvisation, bodywork, relational and performative arts, eros, and bdsm, we’ll explore the rich, playful, tender and risky dynamics of being in connection. Let’s meet the unexpected in ourselves and in each other—with curiosity, vulnerability, and creativity.

Please when booking make sure you can arrive on time at the beginning of the event. You are expected to stay until the end. In case you need/want to leave earlier, we ask that you have a check in with the organisers. We respect the container we are creating for the well-being of all. Thank you

Is this event for me? Even though Touch&Play is about "Exploring the Relational Body" in its widest sense: emotionally, societally, spiritually – touch is a central part of it. Expect joining an intimate body event. It is suitable for those who have the ability to self regulate their emotions and are comfortable with and have some understanding of sex+ environments. If you are dealing with significant levels of trauma (specifically sexual or relational) or PTSD this may not be the event for you. Find more questions and answers around what this is all about and what it is not in our Introduction to T&P & FAQ

To participate in the activities, you must be an adult of legal age in the country where the retreat takes place. At the same time Touch&Play is built around a sense of community, and there may be children living on-site at the venue T&P is renting. Kids from teachers or long term participants may be at the venue and join a specific family friendly workshop if this is agreed beforehand with the workshop facilitator or the organiser.

Schedule Subject to Change: The Touch&Play Germany organizers reserve the right to modify the schedule or make adjustments to the teaching team at any time and with short notice if necessary. Additionally, the organization reserves the right of admission for prospective participants. This policy is in place to help maintain a safe and inclusive space for everyone involved. Thank you for your understanding and support.
