We often sell out a week or so before the event, so it is advised to get your tickets well in advance. **Visit the [Eventbrite](https://OaklandPlatonicTouch091226.eventbrite.com) listing to buy a ticket and get more info!** This workshop offers participants opportunities to learn about and practice communication skills, explore consent, and discover the power of platonic touch. Attendees will practice identifying and asking for what they want, saying no to what they don’t want and yes to what they do want, and experiment with platonic touch in a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment.
