Old Growth - Human Forest Tallebudgera Valley

This is an invite only event for those who have been to previous Human Forests. This express version will glaze over the boundaries and get right into the exchange of devotional touch. 

THE MEDICINE OF TOUCH

Human beings flourish with touch — it is fundamental, not optional.
It speaks directly to the heart and to the nervous system.
It reminds us that we are part of something, that we are held, that we matter.
Touch connects, restores, and moves energy between us.
It may feel soothing, enlivening, sensual, or deeply moving.

For many of us, cultural conditioning has asked us to shrink from this birthright — to associate pleasure with shame, to make connection something earned instead of given.

A CALL TO RETURN TO THE BODY

This evening is an invitation to honour touch as a vital form of nourishment — a resource that supports emotional, physical, and relational wellbeing.
It is a space to remember the intelligence of your skin, your instincts, and your heart.

THE HUMAN FOREST EXPERIENCE

The Human Forest is a collective space where humans come together through attuned, consensual, non-sexual touch offered with devotion and care.

Here is what to expect:

Please arrive at 1:30 for a 2:00pm start.

• The journey moves through four rounds, each lasting 20 minutes.
• In every round, one half of the group becomes Trees — wearing blindfolds and receiving gentle, conscious touch.
• The other half becomes Critters — offering presence and supportive touch to the Trees.
• Everyone rotates through both roles so you can explore giving and receiving.
• Trees share their boundaries and preferences with simple hand cues: asking for more, less, something different, or to pause.

These gatherings often bring profound tenderness, delight, and healing. Our commitment is that you walk away feeling nourished, respected, and deeply seen.

Created to uplift your whole being, this event invites you into practices that awaken freedom, nourish the body, and honour the wisdom held in somatic experience.

We will serve some fruit and veg during the event, please feel free to bring your fav finger food to share. 

Please bring your business cards, flyers and offerings to display on the community table.
