Be Touched Community

Be Touched Community Our aim is in cultivating deep human connection, meaningful intimacy&facilitating heartfelt workshops No pressure, everything is welcome.

The emphasis of our workshops is to highlight and practice verbal communication. This is to build trust, connection and a deeper understanding of being with another. We work primarily with the Authentic Relating tools and communication games to acknowledge what is going on in our inner terrain (our physical sensations feelings, emotions, judgments, narratives). In these games we are staying away f

rom labeling, judging, trying to analyze or find solutions for others but instead turn towards what is curious, alive in the sharing and getting curious about it. In experiencing these games we are practicing at bringing more of ourselves to the room. We are getting real and authentic, nourishing parts that don’t often get expressed and going on a journey of self discovery through laughter, heart opening warmth and care. By doing this we increase our ability to experience abundance. Although we do offer ‘spicy’ events that go into more touch, sensuality and s*xuality, our main workshops work purely with spoken games as well as clothes-on embodiment games that include the likes of dance and tai chi. If you feel like the above might be out of your comfort zone, we got you! None of the games are compulsory and are designed to keep you in charge of your own experience in whatever way feels good for the “you” that shows up. The main language of our events is English, but there’s always the option to practice the game in Dutch. We are at any time available for translation and/or clarification. Key elements:
Warm welcome with tea, snacks and refreshments
Introduction to the theory around the tools
Self check in & grounding activity
Mixture of one to one, small and whole group activities
Communal closing circle and goodbye

Hey all you Spring Chickens!
We’re kicking off the season with our first Spring Pop-Up Workshop on Relational Depth, happening in Utrecht on May 18th!

In this nourishing early evening workshop, we’ll explore how to deepen connection through the embodied presence of Relational Depth. Think: authentic relating, somatic movement, group sharing, and easy ta***ic practices—all woven together to create a space where you can land in your body, be fully seen, and explore how you show up in relationship.

Our facilitator Nicole Caodie will be guiding you through a powerful journey of presence and connection. Whether you're longing for more depth in your intimacy, wanting a reset in how you relate, or simply curious to meet others in a space of openness and truth—this is a beautiful place to begin.

You’ll walk away with:

Practices for embodied connection & awareness

Tools to build trust and emotional intimacy

A deeper understanding of your own relational patterns

Beginner ta***ic exercises to open subtle layers of connection

Ways to express your truth while staying grounded

Connection with like-minded, open-hearted souls

Who’s it for?
If you’re a curious, playful human who wants to grow in how you relate to others (and yourself), come join us! Whether you're single, partnered, or dancing in-between, you're welcome. This space invites you to show up just as you are.

About Nicole:
Nicole is a transformational coach, facilitator, and co-founder of Be Touched, known for her deeply embodied and heart-led approach to connection. She supports visionaries and change-makers to transform old patterns into self-celebration and empowered presence. This will be her first in-person workshop since returning from maternity leave—so it's a special one!

We can’t wait to welcome you. Come join!

Deep Connection & Playful Exploration

Wow—what a beautiful evening we had last week at our Go Deeper: Connective Rope workshop! Our space was filled with curiosity, trust, and presence as we explored how touch, tension, and energy can deepen connection. It felt so special to witness how something as simple as rope can invite us into deeper awareness of ourselves and each other.

Next week, we take the journey even deeper with the third session of our Go Deeper series. We’ll explore pressure points, the power of sensation, breath, and intentional guidance to build even more trust and embodied presence. This will be another opportunity to play with connection, attunement, and surrender in a safe and supported space.

This series a collaboration between and Be Touched.

Curious? Join us! We have a few spots left, book via link in bio ❤️

🎉 Be Touched Turns 3! 🎉

Today on 2-2, we celebrate three incredible years of Be Touched – a journey of authentic connection, deep embodiment, and creating spaces where people can truly be seen and felt. We are beyond proud of everything we’ve built together: from intimate workshops in our own venue to powerful moments at festivals, from heart-opening experiences to a growing movement of presence and care.

Looking back at the past years, we’re filled with gratitude. The photos tell the story – snapshots of special moments where we held space at festivals, guided workshops, and built a community rooted in trust, connection, and transformation. Each gathering, each shared breath, and each courageous step towards deeper connection has shaped Be Touched into what it is today.

And now, we step into our fourth year with excitement and a heart full of dreams! This summer will be filled with workshops, gatherings, and new creations, expanding our vision of embodied connection. We’re also bringing our mission to festivals in a new way: bringing our Awareness Team with AuthentiCare – creating more safety, inclusivity, and emotional support in festival spaces.

To everyone who has been part of this journey – whether for a moment or since the very beginning – thank you. You are what makes Be Touched truly special.

Let’s keep growing, feeling, and creating together. Here’s to another year of connection, care, and courageous authenticity! 💛✨

So much love!
Wies
&Sieta &Nicole

Self-awareness is the foundation of every deep connection. It means more than just knowing your likes and dislikes—it’s about tuning into your inner world, understanding your triggers, desires, fears, and motivations. When we bring this level of awareness into our romantic relationships, we show up more fully, authentically, and with integrity.

Romantic relationships have a way of holding up a mirror to who we are. They expose both the beautiful and the messy parts of us. Without self-awareness, it’s easy to project unresolved emotions onto our partners, avoid difficult conversations, or fall into patterns of misunderstanding and disconnect.

We practice self-awareness by slowing down and taking the time to check in with ourselves. How do we really feel in a moment of conflict or intimacy? Are we reacting out of old wounds, or are we responding from a place of grounded truth? By pausing and reflecting, we gain insight into our emotional landscape, allowing us to communicate more openly and clearly.

Self-awareness is a gift to our partners. When we know ourselves—our needs, boundaries, and triggers—we can communicate them more clearly, allowing for greater trust and intimacy. Rather than expecting our partners to read our minds or carry our emotional burdens, we take responsibility for our inner world and invite our partners to do the same. This creates a relationship built on mutual respect, understanding, and growth.

Self-awareness isn’t just a solo journey; it’s the key to deeper, more meaningful connections. By continuously tuning in to our own emotions and patterns, we can engage with our partners in ways that are compassionate, conscious, and real.
Showing up in your romantic relationship with self-awareness doesn’t mean being perfect. It means being present, owning your experience, and having the courage to express your truth—even when it’s difficult. This is where true connection is born.

“I felt like being in a magical and healthy bubble where I was gifted with several tools and games to learn more about myself and the nature of my relationship. It seemed so friendly and easy! Actually, it led me and my partner to experience many vulnerable moments during these months, almost every day. I found myself capable to naturally open my hearth and feel more and more compassion towards my shadows, and my partner’s ones.” - Testimonial

Due to great succes, we are bringing back our couples series! So are you longing to take your relationship to new heights of intimacy, understanding, and genuine connection? Do you desire to build a strong foundation of trust, communication, and empathy? Look no further!

You can book the full series for a deep dive into your relationship or book a separate session. Every week we’ll zoom in on key aspects of healthy communication: Self-awareness, vulnerability, difficult conversations and play. Interested to know more? Keep an eye on this page because every Friday we’ll share an informative post around these topics to get you in the mood.

Let’s start opening up our voices!

Tomorrow evening we offer a Voice Journey with .zingt ♥️

Your voice is so powerful and needs to be released and heard. Singing together can be very empowering and liberating.

Regardless of whether you think you sing well, are embarrassed or something in between; you are welcome.

We come together not to sing beautifully but to sing in purity. The beauty of singing in a group is that we all fall away into the whole; we become one sound.

Join us tomorrow! ♥️ More info via link in bio.

This October Nicole and Wies are jumping back onto the band wagon to deliver an inspiring 3 intermediate session on Shame, Anger and Boundaries. Have you ever wondered why you haven't stepped into your genius yet, or feel like you're constantly pleasing others, notice strong judgements that arise towards people or events or maybe you feel unsatisfied in your desires and s*xuality. Often behind such behaviours lies deeper, unaccounted for shame. In the beginning workshop we will examine shame and how it masks in deeply connective and relatable ways. Following on from this we will run the second workshop on Anger and the final one on boundaries.

Every session has a specific theme that can be attended as a single event or for full impact you can join all 3! We recommend that you have experience with Authentic Relating: either by having participated in 2-day The Level 1 Training (next one October 5th & 6th), and/or have been to one or more of our Primary workshops and/or have gained experience elsewhere. If in doubt, reach out to us.

October 22nd #1: SHAME
October 29th #2: ANGER
November 5th #3: BOUNDARIES

WHY AUTHENTIC RELATING?
Authentic Relating (AR) is a powerful practice that enables deep, meaningful, and soulful conversations with anyone, anywhere, at any time. By learning the foundational principles and building blocks of AR, we equip ourselves with essential tools for conscious communication and enriching connections. This practice aligns us with our deepest emotions and enables us to weave a more authentic and truthful human experience.

MEET: LYDIA

Lydia is our facilitator of “The field of not knowing.” She has been interested in energy (work) from an early age and is described by friends as straightforward - her energy invites you to reveal everything within yourself. Lydia likes to provide a warm and sturdy space in which whatever will arise can arise.

What’s ‘The field of not knowing’ about?
We are energy. Everything we see, experience and feel around us is energy, just like ourselves. Our thoughts, our emotions, our body, the processes in our body. They all have in common that it is energy and that they are therefore all connected to each other. Not only in our body but also outside of it we are connected to each other. What happens when your energy seems to be stuck? What happens when we adopt certain beliefs about ourselves and start to identify with them? Are we still the energy that is everything, or do we become the pattern we hold on to? The field of not knowing is an experiment, an energetic experiment. Next session on Thursday September 19th at 19:30. Are you there?

This evening you will be introduced to two sides of play. From animalistic, playful and fully embodied Impulse Play, to deep relaxation through B**M yoga.

The first half of the evening will be an uplifting experience where you will get to meet yourself and your impulses whilst being in connection to a partner or others. The impulse play brings forth the direct experience of being in touch with what the body wants, in a consensual way where the arena is mapped out and the rules clear.

The second half of the evening we will dive into the B**M yoga. A winding down process for the self, yet interwoven with the beauty of surrendering to serving poses and acts of service.

MORE ABOUT IMPULSE PLAY
Impulse Play is a non-verbal somatic and relational practice that creates a space for play and self-development. For many of us, play is something we let go of as we enter adulthood. Play is characterized by the fact that we do something simply because it feels good, for the PLEASURE in the moment - not because there is a specific goal or a plan. Impulse Play brings us the invitation to be authentic; being true to ourselves and our impulses, whether it’s primal or sensual, fast or slow, intense or calm.

The workshop is great for you who want to explore and expand your capacity to:
* Be yourself authentically in relation to others
* Follow your impulses and your pleasure
* Feel your YES and NO and honor them as well as honoring the YES and NO of others

If you're looking at fully embodying your desire to play, fight, roll, lift, tickle to become more animal, sweat, laugh, and be entangled in a wide variety of touch the impulse play will teach you how to natural get in touch with these sides.

MORE ABOUT B**M YOGA
Tone down the busy play fight vibes into a subtle journey of washing feet, being a table for extended poses and beyond to end the evening with a full embodied sense of self and an awakening of whats possible s*xuality and sensually.

Let your body be enchanted by sensual experience. Are you someone who knows how to create a safe arena to play with creativity, adventure and curiosity with a partner/s in an environment that brings deeper intimacy? Or are you someone wanting to unravel your perception of s*xuality and investigate what's holding you back?

This is the workshop in Sensual Adventuring - it's not about awakening to some new profound ideologies of what it means to be a s*xual diva, nor is it solely focused on ancient ta***ic principals. This is a workshop that will help you to land in your body, how to create a safe arena to listen to it's wishes, callings and desires becoming ever present, ever playful and amplifying embodied experience through adventuring with your senses.

" in this kinky Sunday session we will head out on an adventure into playfulness to discover new ways of activating the senses through consent and negotiation to delve deep into what it means to creatively play "

Each individual's s*xual journey brings a variety of pains and pleasures. Leading the heart and mind is the body and it is here that our s*xual energy, our life force that can be tapped into, to allow for the soul to discover and grow our jungle of delights. Embodiment within this sphere leads to health, more pleasure and more perceptions of what it means to be fully present.

These sessions, although not s*x positive this session is guaranteed to question our beliefs and patterns within our conditioned patterns around s*xuality and explore safely to see what it is the body is asking to explore in relationship to others.

This workshop covers aspects of the wheel of consent, authentic relating and explorative play to build tension, delight and joy in discovering our senses fully.

Come join in the exploration! Link in bio!
