TOUCH | DAY 4
silent green BODY’s final day honours various nurturing and pleasurable modes of touch.
11:00-13:00 TOUCHING & BEING TOUCHED | SILJA VIERMANN
Touch is communication between bodies, with the power to heal, comfort, relax, challenge – as well as make us feel alive. This workshop explores our natural ability—to touch and be touched—as an invitation to experience in more authentic and nuanced ways.

14:00-16:00 THAI YOGA MASSAGE TECHNIQUES I CRISJAN ZÖLLNER
Thai Yoga massage can be understood as a sacred dance between two people and is much more than a purely physical form of treatment. It is performed with Metta. Metta is a Buddhist term for "loving kindness". Through partner exercises, we will uncover and explore some of the nurturing techniques of Thai Yoga massage.

16:00-18:00 IMPRINTING LOVE – EPIGENETICS & MORE I FEDERICA FIORE
What does Love have to do with epigenetics? How does Love have the potential to alter our cellular memories and how can we actively imprint it? Through solo and partner work we will learn about the hormonal triad of oxytocin, adrenaline and endorphins—hormones that are also released during birth and sex— to explore pleasurable touch across different levels.
