Human Attunement: Discovering and Enhancing Conscious Nonverbal Communication

Hello!

The ability to communicate through contact and body language is a beautiful, yet often overlooked, aspect of our lives. In this interactive workshop, you’ll have the chance to reconnect with this innate capacity. Through a series of partner exercises, you’ll open the door to a deeper understanding of yourself and others—whether it's with a friend, a family member, or a close intimate partner.

We each arrive at this work from different places, and one essential quality that supports us on this journey is the ability to offer ourselves self-empathy and gentleness, allowing us to begin exactly where we are. When we approach ourselves with this kindness, our bodies, energy systems, and consciousness can relax, opening naturally to new ways of connecting and communicating.

I encourage you to bring someone you know and feel comfortable with, as this can help you relax and fully enjoy the experience. But please know that everyone is welcome, with or without a partner!

What to Expect:

We’ll start by introducing ourselves and creating a safe, welcoming, and compassionate space together. From there, we’ll gently tune in to where we are, slowing down and connecting with the deeper rhythm within ourselves, preparing for the partner exercises to come.

Next, we’ll explore a series of one-on-one exercises designed to help us understand where we currently are in our nonverbal communication. As we progress, we’ll dive into deeper practices that encourage exploration, growth, and fine-tuning of our awareness and connection with our partners. These exercises will involve gentle contact, slow and simple movements, and a focus on listening and responding from the body.

Throughout our time together, we’ll also use words as needed to help us deepen the experience. Simple phrases like “pause and resume” will be available to support you and your partner if you need to take a moment to digest, reflect, or reconnect. After some of the exercises, we’ll take brief moments to reflect, jotting down any impressions, insights, or reminders that anchor our experiences.

Please Bring:

• A willing friend, partner or family member
• A notebook and pen for capturing insights
• A blindfold or bandana to help you connect with other senses beside sight
• Loose comfortable attire
• An open, curious spirit ready for exploration.
