What is Cloud?
Cloud is a facilitated group of consent-informed, authentic individuals who explore relationships, aliveness, and expansion through embodiment with a focus on touch in all its forms.
At our events, we hold structured, trauma-informed spaces where we come together to be present and experience physical sensations, emotions, thoughts, and impulses. This embodied awareness allows us to unlock our basic relational capacities: connection, attunement, trust, autonomy, love & sexual intimacy. When we feel we belong we are open to aliveness – play, passion, learning, and self-expression. Creative aliveness is a fuel for our agency: purpose, and service to the world.
Through touch, we bond, we heal, we play, we learn, we grow, we transform, and we come in service.
Experiences
Conscious Touch & Consent
Explore and understand your boundaries, learn about consent practices and explore conscious touch. If you sometimes struggle saying Yes or No, have difficulty expressing your desires to others, or simply are new to conscious touch, this is the experience for you.
Cuddle Jam
Get ready to release some oxytocin and feel the high in this freeform experience of conscious touch and authentic connections. Feel and be felt. See and be seen. Join us for a beautiful gathering where you can fulfill your cuddly wishes while keeping your boundaries close, and flow with yourself and others naturally. There truly isn’t a more blissful way to spend an evening.
Temple of Dance
Sensual Ecstatic Dance
Step into an evening of embodied exploration through dance. Let’s express our sensuality through movement and connection, without goal, without escalation, meeting only what is alive in the moment, which we gently release when it has passed. Sensual music is our only conductor, not our mind, not our desires, and it guides us into a natural flow, a trance where we are free.
Expand is an advanced temple experience for those who wish to go deeper. In this container, we are surrounded by beings who have done profound self-work, and know there is always more to uncover. From this shared recognition, we begin in trust, safety, belonging and love. From there, we journey even deeper, meeting our shadows, our edges, the hidden corners of our being. And when we arrive there, we Expand even further.
Private Sessions
If you want to privately practice some or all of the activities from our Cloud experiences, we can hold a space for you alone or with a partner. Please contact us with your specific request.

Vision
Embodied in the here and now.
Touching yourself or others can bring both excitement and relaxation. During our experiences, we aspire to fully experience and witness physical sensations, emotions, and thoughts within our body, mind, and soul. This process is called embodiment.
Heal. Learn. Expand.
Together we practice a sense of ourselves and the resonance with others. We learn where our boundaries and needs are and how to regulate our system. During this process, we feel joy and pleasure and transform and expand.
Freedom and time to play.
We see life not as a continuous struggle for survival but as a natural pulsation between comfort and discomfort. We explore play, touch, sexuality, food, art, comfort, and aesthetics to support us in challenging times. We create a safe space to experience joy and pleasure.
Trust through Consent
Body ownership represents a fundamental aspect of our self-consciousness. Cloud’s core value is consent: permission for something to happen or agreement to do something. We co-create a safe space by sharing our vulnerability and communicating in a clear, warm-hearted, trauma-informed, and nonviolent way.
Cloud’s experiences always include the practice of consent. Our activities help us to notice our patterns, see where our boundaries are, how we communicate them, and how we ask for consent from others with a focus on using embodiment elements: touch, movement, sound, conscious emotional expression, and presence.
Ultimately, practicing consent at our events allows us to build trust and feel free to explore.
Testimonials
Hosts
Kasia
I am fascinated by the human body – our earthly home. The experience of self-touch and with another being has always been a way to connect and feel close, no matter where I was. Touch has also healed many of my wounds.
In my life’s journey, I support individuals and groups in reclaiming authenticity through a body-centered, nature-inspired process. In my interdisciplinary approach, I open a confidential experience space, where spiritual, emotional, and physical vulnerability is respected and protected.
I facilitate somatic sexological and pelvis bodywork, Biodynamic Breathwork for Trauma Release, mindfulness. I am a keeper of the Rose lineage. I hold a Ph.D. in biomedicine and have more than 15 years in cell and tissue biology.
Alp
I am an experienced facilitator of events and workshops on embodiment and conscious touch, as well as Temple ceremonies for groups and individuals. In the spaces I hold, I not only invite rawness, joy, pleasure, playfulness, but the full range of emotions that our human existence allows. I use my experience in bodywork, meditation, tantra, breathwork, energywork, and communication practices to empower others to growth and transformation.
My intention is to contribute to a vision where human beings embrace their authentic, vulnerable selves, and open their hearts to deep connections with honesty and integrity. Fulfilling this purpose gives me serenity and strength I share with others.
I am also a transformational coach offering private sessions to support you in your holistic Journey of self-discovery through embodied and mindful practices with an emphasis on conscious relating, empowered intimacy and honest communication.
Questions?
Got another question not answered here? Contact us.
Do I have to participate in all activities?
Though we are encouraged to try everything, there is no obligation. Att all our experiences, we have a self care space where we can be on our own and either observe others, reflect in our own thoughts or meditate.
What if I don't want to be touched by someone or somewhere?
Then you don’t have to. We put a strong focus on consent as explained in our Visions above, and dedicate one or several activities to practice this and build a circle of trust. Anyone who does not adhere to our values of consent will be asked to leave.
I am a man, and don't feel comfortable touching and being touched by other men. Is that ok?
Yes it’s ok, and you never have to touch or be touched by men if that makes you uncomfortable.
We aim to have a balanced representation of genders at our experiences. Some activities require pairing you with another person. In those cases, you can try to pair with someone you are comfortable exploring touch with. In some cases, that might not be possible and we can’t guarantee an exact gender parity at every experience.
We, however, invite you to challenge your own patterns towards gender. Try to understand where they come from, and see if you can approach touch outside the limits you’ve defined. Be open to surprise yourself and learn something new.
What kind of people attend Cloud experiences?
All sorts of people. Cloud experiences are diverse in both age and gender. Moreover, we aim to have a balanced representation of genders at each experience.
Are the participants naked during the experience?
It depends on the experience, but there is always a clear guidance on this. There is no nudity at our Intro to Conscious Touch & Consent and Conscious Touch & Cuddles experiences. The Conscious Touch & Sensuality experience may contain nudity during some of the activtiies.
