Now more than ever, we feel humans need safe, playful connecting spaces to really enjoy human to human impact, care, and love and to bring that back into everyday environments. Nourishment to us all is about creating safe spaces where we can experiment with ways to feed our souls, minds, hearts, and bodies. We create experiences which leave you feeling more in connection to yourself and more part of a community than you did before you arrived. These member-only gatherings adapt to the vibe of the community and time of year, to build the most natural environment for people who want to get to know each other and enjoy the presence of other like-minded individuals.
This is something we personally yearn and hope for, desire and need. The more we grow as a community, the more we feel deeply nourished, the more we bring back to the world the same energy. We want to be part of the revolution for change. Come join us.
By joining us, you sign up to a private Facebook group, WhatsApp group, and email news. In these spaces, you will hear of opportunities, both paid and free, to engage with each other. You are also welcomed to offer your own invitations for connection, gathering, experiences, etc. This is explained in more detail once you are in the membership arena.
We are especially keen that members are fully aware of the values of this space and adhere to them. If these values and desires do not align, maybe this isn’t the space for you. If these values and desires set off a Zing-a-Ling, then jump on in - we have a seat with your name on it!
Our values and desires:
We are a community who are individually working on our inner and outer growth,
expansion and healing.
We practise non-violent and needs based communication where at all possible.
We seek to improve communication, self-awareness, having a positive impact.
We seek connection, touch, laughter, adventure, play, relaxation
in safe consensual and light hearted spaces.
We aim for a sense of family and creativity in how we spend time and grow together.
Each member has a voice and invitation to be fully present and active. The hosts are space-holders, but not the parents: we encourage regular sharing spaces and times for mutual leadership and support.
We encourage you to listen to this amazing book, if NVC is new to you,
and look into any teachings from Gregg Kendrick to grow in this field more deeply.
As hosts, we - Beth and Sam, with the help of friends and visiting guests - have stretched the definition of the term “Nourishment” to include three types of experiences.
After years of hosting Nourishment Nights, we noticed that our guests’ needs for connection to a community varied -some sought longer retreat-like adventures where they could share deeply bonding time with other guests, while others preferred to have the option of having regular access to joined activities and relaxing group gatherings; some wanted to have fun, exploring the expression of their sensuality in a safe environment, while others desired to soothe their nervous system in the company of people who would contribute to that simply with their presence and similar intentions.
We decided that one Nourishment Night alone was not enough to cater to this variety of personalities and needs. This is how we created NN, NWKEND, and NE.
Please, keep in mind that here are just the outlines of the three categories: events within the same categories might be similar to last time or differ, depending on location, season, and the specifics of what we have planned. We also invite our members to make suggestions for the type of experiences they would like to have, so get in touch with us, communicate your needs and wishes, and we will try to meet you there.
Nourishment Nights start in the afternoon and finish late at night. Just like the other two categories, the events here are based around community-building and a desire for friendship, but with the playful and safe twist of being touch-indulgent.
Nourishment Nights bring the whole body into the experience and do so in a generous way of giving and receiving touch. Each person has their “yes” and “no” clear during the experience which helps them explore their boundaries and desires, while feeling comfortable and empowered. That is why we like to think of NN as places to learn and grow together: how to be open-minded, healthily selfish and giving, assertive, kind, and sensual.
The events are always indoors and the number of guests is limited for the purpose of smoothly managing the venue and the event.
These start from Gatwick airport on a Thursday afternoon and end up at a gorgeous villa in Andalucía for a full weekend of experiences. What is best is that Nourishment Weekenders are, in theory, organised by the guests attending. Of course, we take care of all the logistics and planning, but it is you who will choose the activities from a Guest Questionnaire.
After we have received answers from all guests, we will book and organise the most popular pick/s. The long weekend will feel utterly amazing and the bonds built in that time will be impactful. Come alone or with others.
NWKEND comprises three days and nights hosted by our Spanish team, alongside Beth and Sam. On the table is an array of delights to choose from: Boat trips, Diving, Snorkelling, Mountain hiking, Lazing around the pool, Plant medicine, Ecstatic dance, Massages,Sensual spaces, and much more…
East Sussex-based, Nourishment Experiences are all about sharing community time in nature or in a homely environment.
The activities in this category feel like a day with a loving family: meeting for a walk, talking, sharing a warm meal together, and just “being” but together, within a held space.
NE welcomes those who want to be active members and become part of this regular giving and receiving of community nourishment. This is excellent for those seeking a more regular community to grow deeper friendships with.
Nourishment offerings are members-only community gatherings. Why do we ask for a membership? Because it allows us to create far deeper and richer experiences, in much safer and softer spaces. To become a member, we ask that you fill the Nourishment Membership form. Being a member is FREE.
After filling the application form, you will hear from one of the team. This ensures trust and starts a relationship that is important for you, us, and every other member, for the comfort and familiarity of everybody attending the events. Once these two steps of the process are completed, we will let you know if your membership has been approved.
Being a member means that you will be the first one to receive personal invitations to events (via email, message, or phone call - depending on the contact preference you have identified in the form), as well as our newsletter, which will update you on what’s coming. All ads to our Nourishment events will go to members first, then to the general Sensitivita audience if relevant, and only then to the general public if we choose to as a group. Mostly, it’s not necessary.
Being a member alone does NOT guarantee you a place at an event or a retreat. To attend an event, you need to purchase a ticket for it. Places are limited, for the event to remain exclusive, safe, and nourishing. For experience categories which do not require the purchase of a ticket, we still have a limited number of guests, so please make sure you communicate your wish to attend with us.
The events do not happen at regular time periods - they take place when we feel the urge and magic to host them. For a holiday away with us, simply sign up and state clearly that you want to join the mailing list for the holiday getaways. We don’t advertise our events here anymore,
to find out about what’s coming up, get in touch directly.
If you want to receive our FAQ for this Nourishment community, please email us directly
