As the year winds down, and the world outside buzzes with the usual frenzy of New Year’s Eve celebrations, we offer you a space to do something different – and invite rest and connection as a radical form of celebration.

T&P Germany’s first get-together at the lush and comforting retreat centre Drawehn in Lower Saxony will draw inspiration from the parasympathetic nervous system —those innate "rest-and-digest" or "feed-and-breed" responses that arise when the body is at ease: deep relaxation, arousal, crying, digestion, defecation and the simple joys of care for our and other bodies.

Through movement, dance, touch, and stillness, we gather to unwind and embrace intensity through slow, subtle, and why not also silly qualities. We’ll cultivate the conditions for intimacy and presence, as everybody is warmly invited to contribute a practice, workshop or ritual to create this gathering together.

Come as you are, and let’s greet the New Year together, grounded and in tender connection.
