WHO CAN I BE WITH YOU?

Touch&Play Germany

24-29 August 2025

How can I expand into my edges with you?

I am me, cause I am not you, but it’s the way you are that brings something out in me. Can you discover your sinner, your saint, your beauty or beast with me? Do you make me feel bolder, wiser, cheeky, aware?

The questions “Who can I be with you?” or “Who can you be with me?” call us to stretch beyond our familiar edges and to lean into the surprising ways we transform in relationships with others. Who we are isn’t static; we are constantly evolving, shaped by the unique sparks of connection we create with one another. Sometimes, we meet parts of ourselves only because someone else draws them out—unexpected and alive. It’s not about your true self. It’s about discovering the vastness of who we can become—together.

We feel incredibly proud of how this community is maturing and the culture we’re co-creating, crafting spaces where you can show up as colourful or raw as you are.

If you want to expand your embodied creativity and relationship intelligence and you’re curious about what happens here, come and join us—we’re curious too! Together, we’ll keep delving into new questions, evolving, and discovering what’s possible in our dances.

Through contact improvisation, bodywork, relational and performative arts, eros, and bdsm, we’ll explore the rich, playful, tender and risky dynamics of being in connection. Let’s meet the unexpected in ourselves and in each other.

ABOUT THE TOUCH&PLAY MOVEMENT

Touch&Play is an exciting and growing global network of local communities that come together around a set of shared practices and a common culture. We’ve been organizing retreats and community gatherings since 2010 and have held events in 16 different countries and 4 different continents. Our events strike a balance between the local context and culture where a retreat takes places and the global embodied, humanistic and spiritual practices and values that underpin our work. In the end we are striving to build a deeply caring and seriously playful world where we can live authentically and in peace with ourselves and our communities.

“Leave your relationships more beautiful than you found them”

WE ARE CRAFTING THE EXPERIENCE

Detailed information about the full team and their roles will be shared in the near future.

In the meantime, we’re offering a limited number of early bird tickets. Secure your ticket by reserving in advance.

Touch&Play gatherings are co-creations that emerges from an intimate collaboration between the curation team, and the teachers, artists, helpers team and participants that join the retreat. We’re an experimental container and open to inspiring off-beat ideas that can support the wider Touch&Play exploration of the Relation Body.
