Why Practice?

Many of us know what it feels like to overthink, people-please, disconnect from ourselves, or lose our footing in relationship.

But fewer of us know what it actually feels like in our bodies to be at ease, connected to ourselves, and fully ourselves with another person.

Practice gives you the opportunity to experience that…not as an idea, but as a lived experience.

Over time, that felt sense becomes an inner compass. Whether you're dating, in a relationship, navigating family, friendships, or work, you'll begin to recognize what genuine connection feels like for you…and notice more quickly when something isn't aligned.

What This Is

You’ll be guided through simple, structured rounds of connection, with space to notice, reflect, and integrate what’s actually happening for you.

After each round, we pause to notice what happened - internally and together, so the learning actually lands instead of passing through. Everything is guided. You won’t be left wondering what to do. This is:

  • small group

  • structured

  • embodied

  • community-oriented

Who This Is For

  • You’re self-aware—but don’t always live it in connection

  • You know your patterns, but still override your truth in the moment

  • You’re ready to practice telling the truth in real time

  • You want connection that feels clear, mutual, and grounded

  • You’re willing to take responsibility for your yes, your no, your pace

  • You want to trust yourself while you’re with another person

Not For You If

  • You’d rather analyze than participate

  • You want connection without participation or vulnerability

  • You’re unwilling to respect or hear “no”

  • You’re looking for unstructured socializing or a cuddle-only space

  • You’re not willing to own your experience

Practice vs. Misfits in Touch

Wondering how this is different from a regular Misfits in Touch gathering?

Practice | 2 hrs

-A space to return regularly and build relational capacity over time

Misfits in Touch | 3.5 hr
-More spacious, immersive, and open
-Includes extended free-form connection & optional platonic touch

What to Wear & Bring

  • Shoes come off at the door. Bring socks or indoor shoes if you’d like to stay cozy.

  • Wear something comfortable you can move and relax in.

  • Bring a water bottle and notebook/journal

  • You’re welcome to bring anything that helps your body feel supported, like a pillow or blanket. Seating options include tri-folds, chairs, and floor.
