Misfits in Touch Practice

misfits in touch: practice

For people who are already self-aware but want to actually live it in connection

 

A 2-hr, structured space for real moments of connection—where you can notice what’s true and stay with it as it unfolds, while you’re with another person.

Small group (max 12 people)

Practice is intentionally kept small (12 people max). If you already know you’d like to experience this over time, the 5-session series is the best way to settle into the rhythm of the space and build relational capacity through repetition.

Series passes are only available through the first session. If you attend the first class as a drop-in and decide you'd like to continue, your payment can be applied toward the full series.



 

About Practice

You’re not here because you need more tools.

You’re here because you’re not always able to use them in the moments that matter.

You understand boundaries. You’ve done the work. You can name your patterns. And yet, in real-time connection, you still find yourself hesitating, softening your truth, or leaving conversations wishing you had said the thing.

This is a space to close that gap.

Not by talking about connection, but by practicing it.

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.

  • 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
