Patrick and Anatolia of Epoch Grove will be returning from adventures abroad to deliver the last Forest of the year!
With this homecoming this Forest will be an invitation to explore what feels like home with questions such as-
How can we come home to ourselves?
How can we help others come home to themselves?
What does a sense of home feel like?
What COULD home feel like?
How can this entire Human Forest experience feel like home?
As we close the year we also invite the opportunity to reflect on all the lessons, experiences and wisdom we’ve gathered from a year of connecting through touch.
May this Forest be a celebration of ‘Home’ in all its forms and textures.
May we close the year with grace.
May we start preparing for the new year to come.

WHAT IS A HUMAN FOREST?
For those of you that don't know, a Human Forest Experience is a human ecosystem connected by consensual touch.
The trees are the recipients of this touch and the critters are the givers of touch.
We pride ourselves on holding safe, healing containers where participants have a truly powerful experience of intimacy that leaves them feeling open, cared for and loved.
Come be part of a movement awakening people to the joy filled, healing and restorative power of touch.

IMPORTANT:
In this event we focus on sensual, devotional and loving, touch rather than sexually oriented touch (there is no genitalia touch at this event).
All our events have been remarkably healing and opening for many participants, as seen in the testimonials above.
That being said, this is a touch focused event. If you have any history of trauma related to receiving or giving touch, please be in touch with us directly to seriously consider whether this event is right for you.
Participants are required to be on time to ensure they understand how to communicate their boundaries with clarity and respect via the consent and boundaries section at the commencement of the event.
THINGS TO NOTE:
Endeavour to arrive between 6:45pm - 7:15pm to allow time to visit the bathroom and create your nest. Know Centre of You is on Chapel St and ample time to find a car spot is best to be factored into your plans. Chapel St spots (1hr) are unmetered from 5pm. Anchor Place (the side street which runs opposite the arcade Centre of You is nestled within) is unmetered from 4pm. .
Should you be in a transient time of financial difficulty and unable to pay the ticket price comfortably please reach out via grace@centreofyou.com.au or via DM over on Centre of You Instagram. We will together find a way for your heart to receive this beautiful experience.
