Need a chance to slow down, unwind, and truly connect?
Imagine an evening that feels like a warm hug after a long day—or even a long week. In a world full of distraction and disconnection, Conscious Connect offers a space to slow down, be seen, and experience genuine human connection.
This community event is designed for heart-centered people who want to meet like-minded individuals in an authentic, meaningful way. Through guided exercises inspired by authentic relating, somatics, and co-regulation techniques, participants explore simple, no-nonsense ways to connect, cultivate presence, and spark curiosity and playfulness with others. The “Connection Games” portion of our event will be followed by a Contact Latihan — a blindfolded devotional touch and movement practice.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Gentle breathing and movement exercises to relax and center yourself
Engaging authentic relating exercises that foster trust and presence
Safe, consensual platonic touch (e.g., hand massages, sitting back-to-back)
Opportunities to co-regulate, laugh, and feel grounded with others
This is a Community Edition event—open to everyone ready to slow down, connect, and recharge. Come as you are and leave feeling lighter, more present, and deeply connected.
About Contact/Latihan:
Contact is a form of movement that prioritizes flow over function and brings forth serendipitous, connective touch that moves bodies together in the form and formless. Latihan originates from a Subud spiritual path of spontaneous and inspired movement and vocalizations with others. Traditionally, men and women practice in separate rooms. We are practicing “contact Latihan” and so we’ve adapted some of the traditional rules to meet today’s conscious connect desires.
By way of gentle facilitation, with blindfolds and heart-centered contact touch, we reach out with the hand and make contact with another human body. The contact inspires a flow of continued movement across one or more bodies whilst the heart drops into a devotional space of receiving human contact without attachment, meaning, or expectation. We don’t “do” Latihan; we recieve it and then it pours forth from us. We honor the sacred in each body through slow, almost prayerful touch and receive a taste of the kingdom of Love through our devotion to this practice.
*The Contact Latihan will be optional
