About Event

🌲 About

Bring a bestie, lover, or get paired with a new person! Come get in touch with your wants surrounded by the trees!

Join for an afternoon of guided touch and connection for queer folks. We’ll be exploring sensual but not sexual touch (no genital touch).

You'll have a chance to wake up your hands on your own and then drop in with the person you came with. You can negotiate what kind of touch sounds good, if that's back massage, having your hair played with, holding hands looking at the canopy, having your neck smooched or something else you can dream up!

This is different than typical massage because the person receiving touch chooses what they want every 3 breaths. I'll support you in accessing your desire and aspiring to be "bossy" where you can state what you want. This exercise helps us break the pattern of "enduring." It's really quite liberating and satisfying!

✨Please register separately for you and your buddy. Totally okay to come solo and get paired with a new queer!

🎟️ Cost

$15 per person. Please Venmo Saturn (@Saturn-McCoy). Your registration will be pending until you send payment.

If that amount feels inaccessible, please email me. NOTAFLOF saturnmccoy11@gmail.com

⏰ Arrival

Please arrive promptly at 3pm as we'll start the short hike into the woods and it will be hard to find on your own if you arrive late.

🌳 The Space

We'll be gathering at a Redwood Glen Trailhead in Joaquin Miller and then walking 10 minutes into the forest to our spot! There's a bathroom .3 miles from the trailhead. There is limited cell service at this trailhead so we won't be able to hear from you if you're running late.

🍃 Accessibility

The site is a little less than 0.4 miles from the trailhead. The terrain is mostly flat with a couple spots that have 5% max gradient.  Most of the trail is compacted soil, though there are a few areas covered with redwood duff.

If sitting on blankets on the ground would be inaccessible for you, we encourage folks to bring a chair. If you would benefit from a chair but don’t have one, please reach out and we’ll bring one for you :)

The location is in the east bay (a short drive from Dimond Park) and requires a car to access — if you’re in need of a ride, reach out to us and we’ll get a carpool list going!
