misfits in touch:practice
For people who are already self-aware but want to actually live it in connection
A 90-minute, structured space for real moments of connection—where you can notice what’s true and stay with it as it unfolds, while you’re with another person.
A place to practice connection and be in community more regularly.
Small group (max 12 people)

You’re not here because you need more tools.
You’re here because you’re not always able to use them in the moments that matter.
You understand boundaries. You’ve done the work. You can name your patterns. And yet, in real-time connection…you still find yourself hesitating, softening your truth, or leaving conversations wishing you had said the thing.
This is a space to close that gap.
Not by talking about connection but by practicing it.
What This Is
You’ll be guided through simple, structured rounds of connection, with space to notice, reflect, and integrate what’s actually happening for you.
After each round, we pause to notice what you experienced, both internally and together, so the learning actually lands instead of passing through.
Everything is guided. You won’t be left wondering what to do.
