The Lost Language of Touch | Mind Health Webinar
Touch is the first and last transaction in life. It is the most human of all transactions. Giving touch is as important to us as receiving it. Whatever happened to our innate human ability to touch and feel at ease with both giving and receiving touch?
How do we reclaim the lost language of touch?
In this Mind Health webinar, lifetime bodyworker and psychotherapist Gerry Pyves shares his thoughts on the language of touch and how we can reclaim the basic human right of giving and receiving it.
Video of this webinar is also available on Rumble, Gettr, and Facebook.
