Our lives are shaped by power—and by the lack of it—constantly moulding how we relate, desire, and belong. When we ignore these body-based and relational dynamics, they can become unconscious, restrictive forces in our lives. When we explore them with awareness and take responsibility, they become a rich playground for who we are and how we belong
Sexuality—the vital force of life—is easily wrapped in shame, “shoulds,” and secrecy, or idealized into a hedonistic, pleasure-seeking lifestyle. We walk a middle path: focusing less on how sexy we can be, and more on how true we can stay to ourselves—while honouring the desires and boundaries that are present in any given moment.
Power and sexuality can be sharp enough to exclude and harm. When we bring them into the light with respect and care, they become pathways to deeper coherence, agency, and trust. This is one way we hope to nurture peace in the world—starting within, and rippling outward.
Touch&Play was born from exploring the edges of Contact Improvisation, with deep roots in dance and somatics. It has grown into a movement for personal and cultural evolution—expanding our comfort zones, growing relational and erotic intelligence, and cultivating aliveness through emergent and co-created practices.

ABOUT
Touch&Play brings together over 15 years of experience in creating embodied spaces for courageous exploration, self-discovery and collective growth.
THE MOVEMENT
A playground where creatives, movers, lovers and seekers come together
Touch&Play is an exciting and growing global network of local communities that come together around a set of shared practices and a common culture. We’ve been organizing retreats and community gatherings since 2010 and have held events in 16 different countries and 4 different continents. Our events strike a balance between the local context and culture where a retreat takes place and the global embodied, humanistic and spiritual practices and values that underpin our work. We are helping to build a deeply caring and seriously playful world where we can authentically live in peace with ourselves and in harmony with our communities.
HISTORY
Touch&Play was born in 2010 in Berlin to explore “The Chemistry” in Contact Improvisation (CI). Classical CI focuses on what happens when two bodies meet in space on a physical level. Touch&Play asks what happens when two human beings meet in space in a more integral dance and play of emergent connection.
Our work is now framed as an exploration of “The Relational Body”. We experimentially (experimentally and experientially) research the questions and nuances of our dancing bodies and beings as they constellate with The Self, The Other, our Community, Society and God in any given context and time. Contact Improvisation, Dance and Somatics alongside practices that focus more on the energetic or ethereal connections such as Kink, Tantra, Authentic Relating, Eco-Sexuality, NVC, Grief Work, and Oracling are some of the main tools we use for this.
Our values center on emergent play, authenticity, inclusion, embodied consent, co-creation, care and community. In our spaces everyone is encouraged to step forward and contribute their gifts to serve the journey of the collective.
Step into your power. Expand your edges.
If you feel you want to connect with the life inside you.
Expand your yes, thrive with your no and get curious with your maybes. Because in the exploration of "maybes", you may also find growth. And many opportunities you don’t even seen today.
If you want to explore and discover what else is in you and in others,
And if you want to connect with people who seek the same freedom, authenticity and... commitment!
Then we would love to welcome you to the next Touch&Play retreat. We await you!
TESTIMONIALS
“Touch&Play turned out to be the sweetest bunch of folks ever! People were welcoming, fun, playful and respectful, from the organizers right on down. The teaching teams had great things to offer, and a wide variety of things, so i think everyone found topics of interest. I’ll be back!“
I live and teach the path of tantra. Although Touch&Play does not focus specifically on this teachings, it has provided me with new perspectives and more grounded and practical resources that have elevated my understanding of tantra.
“Touch&Play has been a turning point in my life. I felt that finally the Ana that lives in myself exploted fully and in complet freedom. This is priceless. Thanks for creating spaces to explore ourselves in relationship to others.”
"This is a place to come and dive into energy work, consent and somatics. You will safely explore your own edges and how you love yourself and the world. T&P will have an impact in your life."
“A unique experience!“
Through Touch&Play retreats, I've been able to heal long embedded traumas.
MORE THAN A RETREAT
To join a Touch&Play experience requires courage.
As it is in relationship that we get hurt and also in relationship that we heal. Our retreats are experimental and experiential containers that offer the opportunity to grow into your power and embrace yourself more fully.
For relationships to grow further and feel nourishing, they require commitment and spaciousness over time. It is in the act of returning that you and your learnings will get stronger and deepen exponentially. What once felt like a profound experience will become your community, your home.
