Touching Fat: Sensual Somatics for Fat People

Jules, a fat white queer wearing all black, sits in a room with others, one hand on their chest and another on their belly teaching “Singing with Our Whole Selves” at Let My People Sing, Summer 2023

Facilitated by Jules Pashall and Scarlet Tunkl, this retreat will explore and celebrate the magic of being present and embodied with fatness in community with other fat folx. We will use touch, movement, noise making and creative play to experience the sensuality inherent in our fat tissue. This retreat will uplift fatness as more than just a descriptor of bodies, but as an energy and access point to sensual presence. Each activity will pull inspiration from the formal qualities of fat: soft, lush, velvety, deep, full, whole. This retreat will have a special focus on touch so that we can learn new things about how we like to be loved, touched and tended.
