Craving real human connection - without pressure, performance, or expectation?
You might resonate with Misfits in Touch if you’re:
• burned out on dating culture
• feeling lonely even if partnered or surrounded by friends
• craving safe, nourishing touch that doesn’t have to escalate
• curious about practicing boundaries and consent in real time
If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.
The workshop is gently guided step-by-step. Through simple exercises, we practice embodied boundaries, communication, and real-time co-regulation. You’ll learn what “yes,” “no,” and “maybe” actually feel like in your body and how to honor them.
This is a low-stakes training ground for relational skills that transfer into romantic, platonic, and communal life.
Everything is optional.
Your “no” is always welcome and respected.
Connection doesn’t have to lead anywhere to be meaningful.
New to this?
Most people come on their own, and many are attending for the first time. You don’t need experience or a partner… just curiosity and a willingness to move at your own pace.
Participants tend to be thoughtful, curious, and committed to co-creating a respectful, consent-forward space together.
This space centers the comfort and safety of women, queer, and gender-diverse participants.
Inclusive. Beginner-friendly. Come solo or with a friend.
What to Expect
Misfits in Touch draws from the structure of a cuddle class, with guided connection exercises, clear consent agreements, and a cozy, padded space to explore optional, platonic touch at your own pace.
