FAQs
Can I come on my own? Do I need a partner?
You can come solo or with an agreed partner.
Solo participants practice with each other and our practice partners - people who have completed the training, who come to support the participants.
Will there be time when I will work with a partner with the same-sex as myself?
We are we are an intimate group, so who we work with, often depends on what is actually possible due to who is there, so it is possible to work with the same-sex partner. We encourage you to practice with all kinds of people in different bodies and genders to broaden your experience professionally and personally.
However, we are working with sexual polarity, both energetically and physically. This means that often, you will work with some one of opposite sex, but not always. If you come with your partner and they are the same sex you’ll be able to work with them through the whole journey, and you will focus on energetic polarity.
Do I get to choose who I work with?
Because the groups are small and intimate in numbers, you will not be able to pick and choose. You will work with different people for each practice. This is to support working with different bodies and to not become attached to one particular person during the series. We ask for a generous inclusive approach to our collective shared time together, but always within your personal boundaries and window of comfort & tollerance. You can always say no. We will try to rearrange the group as is best possible for each practice, but if we cannot, then you will be offered to sit out and witness for that particular exercise. You can learn a lot through witnessing.
Will there be nudity?
There will be nudity. In weekends 1 and 2 you can keep your pants on or be covered by a sarong. As the journey deepens in weekend 3 and 4, the practices and rituals move into genital touch, so nudity becomes more practically essential.
Do I have to do all of the weekends in a row?
Weekend 1 and 2 can be stand alone explorations.
However, they are a pre-requisite to continuing to weekend 3 and 4.
You can do the whole series in one go, or you can do one weekend at a time over many seasons, going at your own pace and financial abundance.
What do I need to do to complete the series?
What do I need to do to complete the series?
You need to be present for all the teachings on each weekend.
If you choose not to physically practice them on the weekend for any reason, instead, you can witness the demos and the other participants practicing. Then, you can take the teachings home, and practice them in your own time .
Testimonials

“I recently attended weekend one of the intimate touch training. I found it equally gentle and powerful. It felt well paced in a way that enabled good self care and consent. Hugs and Shanti clearly care deeply for the work they are delivering and for doing so in a trauma informed way. I also felt they were responsive to the needs of queer folk in order to make this typically very heterosexual, gender binary environment more accessible. As a queer person this is important to me. I learnt a lot from the weekend and felt it was a safe to explore deeply, bravely and gently."

“This training was a powerful dive into conscious touch and embodied intimacy. The facilitators created a safe, attuned space where we could explore deeply and authentically. The tools were practical, the energy transformative, and the community connection inspiring. I left feeling nourished, empowered, and excited to keep practicing. Highly recommended!”

“I had no idea what I was really stepping into when starting this journey...all I knew, was that is was a whole-body, language-of -the-soul ' YES '. For me, this is about way more than sex..by universes & galaxies... this is about my connection with the divine, within and without, and how these practices hold a potemtial of such powerful and profound healing, wholeness, transformation. And I still have a whole lifetime of learning ahead of me... And this has been made possible because of the most exquisite holding of Shanti & Hugs. Their highly attuned, experienced, embodied way of bringing these teachings, offers a richness and depth that is of the highest quality and beyond words. ”

“I feel a lot of gratitude for the way Shanti and Hugs held the space with love, care and embodied wisdom. This was my first experience of the tantric tradition and group nudity so I was a little nervous to begin with. However, the structure and sequencing of the teaching combined with the supportive presence of the other participants allowed me to ease into the first weekend. The touch techniques are presented clearly and there is always a choice about whether or not you want to engage with a given practice. The importance of respecting your own and other peoples boundaries was consistently addressed throughout the weekend. There was a strong sense of intimacy in the group that built over the weekend with space and support for emotional expression as needed. I highly recommend the Intimate Touch series for anyone who is considering it!.”

It felt exciting, interesting, playful and I really felt welcomed into the community. I would highly recommend working with Shanti and Hugs and only wish I lived closer so I could continue our work together!"
