When did you last touch your chest,
with love,
and reverence,
and intention,
just for you?

When did you last feel safe,
yet meeting your edge,
to express your desires,
just for you?

When did you last nourish your heart
and trust another,
to honor your body,
with presence,
just for you?

- Emerald May

We're beyond excited to host Emerald May for this submersive workshop on Sunday. This month is all about navigating our bodies as a sanctuary, which led to the question- what if being in your body is just a weird experience? How do you create a sanctuary within yourself when that's the vibe? 

In our experience: sharing vulnerable space with others. It is such an empowering experience to show up in community and be witnessed in your bravery and embodiment. Emerald will gently facilitate your experience of massage and touch, meeting you where you're at and helping you hold space softly and curiously for yourself. You'll leave this container with sacred knowledge and techniques for connecting further with your body. 

We hope that you'll join us for an afternoon of connection. We've got just a couple of spots left! 

P.S. We know it's going to be a wildly hot week in Portland- the shop has AC and iced tea, we got you <3 

The Details: 

In this workshop, Breasts, Chests and Nipples -oh my!, we'll dive into embodiment practices, breathwork, sounding, and a unique partnered touch/massage ritual. This is an afternoon of nourishing, intentional touch curated as a loving, sacred space for queer, enby, femmes, and women.

Seagrape's theme for July is Body as Sanctuary and this gathering is a great opportunity to connect to your breath in ritual with the added nourishment of community. Join us as we approach our bodies with reverence and as sacred sites of magic.

In this 3-hour live-guided workshop, we will explore:

• Techniques to activate the heart space
• The neuroscience and biological basis for connecting with breasts, chests, and nipples
• Partnered touch/massage ritual practices (with the option for individual touch + massage) 
• Massage methods for scar tissue remediation
• How to create a sensually embodied and healing space
• The importance of community support and shared experiences in personal and collective healing

We'll be meeting at Seagrape Apothecary this Sunday, July 7th from 12:00 - 3:00 PM. 

3 free digital BIPOC tickets are available for folks that need them, just email us at events@seagrapeapothecary.com. This is an in-person event! Space is very limited and masks will be required.
