TOUCH&PLAY GERMANY 2026

• Weaving a Culture of Belonging •

“There’s a revolution that needs to happen and it starts from inside each one of us.
We need to wake up and fall in love with Earth. Our personal and collective happiness and survival depend on it.”
— Thich Nhat Hanh

How do you experience belonging in a world that is increasingly polarised and fragmented?
How can we actively shape a culture of togetherness in times of rupture and metacrisis?

How can you explore the human and more-than-human collective through your body — through dance, movement, touch, and pleasure?

Interbeing is the understanding that nothing exists separately from anything else. We are all interconnected. It invites us to move beyond the illusion of separateness.
Beyond the purely personal.
Into the layered field where the experiences of all of our siblings matter and where the state of the natural world becomes part of who we are.

For six days, we dive into different layers of relational existence:
Through Contact Improvisation, dance and somatics.
Through co-creation and community ritual.
Through consensual sexuality, kink, and radical self-inquiry.

We explore connection not only between bodies — but within the wider ecology of life itself.
Let´s reclaim our sense of belonging through the recognition of our inherent interdependence and the responsibility that this carries..
Let us seed an embodied culture of relating.
Of co-creation and care.
A culture of belonging.

About the Touch&Play Movement

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 places and the global embodied, humanistic and spiritual practices and values that underpin our work. In the end we are striving to build a deeply caring and seriously playful world where we can live authentically and in peace with ourselves and our communities.

Be part of the experience.

We’re an experimental container and open to inspiring off-beat ideas that can support the wider Touch&Play exploration of the Relation Body.

Touch&Play gatherings are co-creations that emerges from an intimate collaboration between the curation team, and the teachers, artists, helpers and participants that join the retreat. 

Teacher applications are now open. Once the team is selected, we will share detailed information about the full lineup and offerings.

Applications are also open for Inclusivity tickets and those interested in joining the Helpers Team as another way to collaborate and/or for those in financial need.

In the meantime, we’re offering a limited number of early bird tickets. Reserving your ticket in advance not only secures your spot but also helps our organization create a better, more seamless production.
