DESCRIPTION:We are happy to invite you to the Kiss Lab: a workshop aimed a
 t creating a space where people can explore the intimacy of physical close
 ness outside romantic and sexual contexts. Although by the end of the work
 shop you might kiss someone\, this is not a given nor is it necessary. The
  main goal is to have the opportunity to slow down and focus on the senses
  engaged when we come close to one another. Under the guidance of two work
 shop leaders\, participants will engage in various exercises that will bri
 ng them closer to one another in various stages: from looking at one anoth
 er from a couple of meters’ distance\, through getting close enough to p
 erceive the smell of another\, to gently touching and\, perhaps\, kissing.
 \n \nThe exercises in the various stages will be done with different part
 ners\, so do not expect to only interact with one person. In this way part
 icipants have the chance to experience individual encounters that involve 
 a level of intimacy differently than in ordinary situations of flirting or
  dating.\n \nAlong with the facilitators and participants\, during the wo
 rkshop there will be other people to support you\, including an awareness 
 team that is there to ensure that everyone feels as safe as possible and p
 rovide support in case someone needs to process experiences that surface d
 uring the encounters. Rest areas will be provided so that if you want or n
 eed  to step out of the exercises you have a chance to do so.\n \nNames 
 do not matter during the workshop. The organisers encourage the participan
 ts to engage with one another with as little prior knowledge about each ot
 her as possible and partake in creating an accountable space. All genders 
 and ages are welcome and participants are expected to be open to engage wi
 th others irrespective of markers such as age\, gender\, and ability. The 
 workshop is a bilingual space. Facilitators will provide instructions in E
 nglish [KK1] [2] and German and in case a participant requires translati
 on during interactions\, support will be provided from the volunteers at t
 he workshop.\n \nAre you interested?\nPlease apply using this link: https
