WHO IS THIS FOR?
Most people enjoy touch and cuddling, but often don't get to it as much as they would like. Many people also feel insecure or afraid to hug. This workshop is for you if you want to explore your personal boundaries in a playful and accessible way. Nothing is mandatory. Consensual touch is healthy and reduces stress. It brings us closer to ourselves and to each other. Do I dare to make my boundaries and longings clear?

INTIMACY LEVEL
WHITE: Conscious, caring touch above the clothes. We stay away from ero.tic energy. Touch is optional.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
Tea, infused water and juices
Energising sweet and savoury snacks and small bites

START WHERE YOU ARE
If this workshop still feels like too much, Feeling Your Yes is a gentler entry point. A monthly gathering in Gent focused on consent, boundaries, and nervous system awareness. We're also available for individual sessions if you'd like to build confidence before joining the group.

OUR GATHERING IS AN ACT OF COLLECTIVE POWER AND HEALING
This is personal AND collective work. We cultivate awareness of our own intuition, boundaries, and nervous system and we do it together. In a world that disconnects us from our bodies and silences our voices, this gathering is an act of collective power and healing.

WHAT WE COMMIT TO
This is a trauma-informed, consent-based space. I facilitate with awareness of how trauma lives in our bodies, and I create structures for safety, choice, and agency. I'm also continuously learning and open to feedback.

WHAT WE ASK OF YOU
You know yourself best. You are the expert of your own body and boundaries. Please honour what feels true for you. That might mean stepping back, taking a break, or leaving. There is no shame in that. If something doesn't feel right, please let me or a spaceholder know. You are responsible for your own wellbeing.

OUR SHARED COMMITMENT
Healing isn't linear. Sometimes what we need includes discomfort, vulnerability, and working at our edges. We work together with intention, care, and honesty, and we meet each other with accountability when things go sideways.

ACCESSIBILITY & INCLUSION
This workshop is LGBTQI+ and BIPOC friendly and welcomes neurodivergent people. Everyone can participate, even if you have a disability or are ill.

Newcomers are welcome if you're curious and reasonably grounded. If you'd like a gentler foundation first, Feeling Your Yes (monthly) is designed as an accessible entry point. If you're working through significant vulnerability, grief, or trauma right now, individual sessions help you build capacity before group work.

I'm committed to listening to your needs and exploring what's possible together. Early communication helps us prepare well, and I'm honest about our limits. If you're able to bring additional support for yourself, whether that's a trusted friend, professional assistant, grounding tools, or specific practices, that helps us create sustainable space for everyone.

INTIMACY LEVELS
True Intimacy workshops are predominantly white: conscious, caring touch above the clothes, we stay away from ero.tic energy. Most offerings are clothed.

ABOUT PIERO
Piero uses no pronouns and considers themselves polysensual, pancurious, genderqueer, justice seeker and mystic lover. Piero lives and works in Ghent as a trauma-informed and body-oriented intimacy coach, (cuddle) workshop facilitator and embodied changemaker.

Piero creates a safe, warm and stimulating group environment that invites transformation and healing. Piero wants to inspire people to experience intimacy more consciously and, together, to eliminate taboos, blockades, violence and traumas. Piero dreams of a world in which self-care and self-actualization go hand in hand with love, justice, equality and solidarity.

"I recognise my own privileges and traumas from the past and present and am aware of how they may hurt or disadvantage people. Like everyone else, I have blind spots and am open to feedback, self-reflection and reconciliation. With my life experience I am building a safe, transformational and connective space where you can feel home." Piero Flor
