Mindful self-touch is not just soothing—it is neurobiological medicine

Altar is tomorrow - we'd love to have you with us.

Dear People,

Tomorrow, we gather. In reverent return to the body - to the altar. In the quiet ceremony of self-touch.

Self-touch is not an afterthought. It is a remembering.
A reweaving of the nervous system.
A conversation between your skin and all that lives within the bounds of your skin - memory, soul, ancestors, aliveness, communication.

There is a growing body of research that illustrates what we have always known in our bones - that even simple, intentional touch can slow the heartbeat, calm the amygdala,
and release oxytocin—the hormone of trust and connection. Mindful self-touch is not just soothing—it is neurobiological medicine.
Presence lives in your fingertips.

This is the sacred technology of the mammalian body.

There is still time to join us tomorrow for Altar: A seasonal practice of pelvic self care. Come and explore touch as devotion - not performance.

With love,

Em and Pam
