with Gabrielle Revlock
This Valentine’s Day, give the most precious gift of all: your attention and your presence.
In this heart-opening two-hour Restorative Contact workshop for couples, you will be guided through a mindful touch practice with your special person. We will work slowly, with care and respect for our body as well as our partner's, as we learn to listen through the skin. The effects of touch are far-reaching, including emotional, physical, and cognitive wellbeing and improvement. Studies indicate that touch boosts the “happy hormones” dopamine and serotonin, as well as the “love hormone” oxytocin.
This workshop is strictly non-sexual and open to all couples (romantic and platonic) looking to deepen their connection through physical touch and mindful attention. It is accessible to students who can be on the ground for extended periods of time; however, many adaptations can be offered, and the practice uses supportive props for comfort. No prior movement or meditation required. If you have any questions or concerns as to if this practice is right for you, please email Gabrielle at info@restorativecontact.com.

“The name says it all: "restorative contact". It's an exercise in listening and feeling. My wife and I are not really the sorts to engage in this sort of activity, but we both felt extraordinarily calm and at peace after the session.” -Balazs
