Where intentional movement meets chef-crafted cuisine. A sensory evening designed for connection, presence, and pleasure.
Two crafts. One experience.

Designed and guided by a licensed massage therapist and somatic educator in collaboration with a professional private chef, this immersive evening blends therapeutic movement, intentional touch, and chef-crafted cuisine into an experience that nourishes body, senses, and connection.


Step into an evening designed to slow time and awaken the senses…


Taste & Touch: The Dinner Experience is an intimate, immersive date-night gathering where guided movement, shared connection, and a multi-course private chef dinner unfold as one thoughtfully curated experience.


The evening begins in the body, not at the table. Through gentle partner movement and guided connection practices, couples are invited to slow down, unwind, and reconnect before transitioning into an unhurried chef-prepared dining experience under the open sky.


By the time dinner begins, conversation flows more naturally, laughter comes easily, and the meal becomes more than dining. It becomes part of a shared experience shaped by presence and connection.


Connection Through Food & Touch: A Couples Experience


When was the last time you truly slowed down together?


Between busy schedules, full calendars, and the rhythm of everyday life, many couples find themselves sharing space without always sharing presence. This evening is designed as an intentional pause. A chance to step out of routine and reconnect through guided movement, supportive partner touch, and a shared culinary experience that nourishes both body and connection.


Inspired by our Push/Pull Partnerships experiences, this gathering blends somatic practices with a thoughtfully curated chef-prepared experience, inviting couples to unwind, reconnect, and enjoy meaningful time together in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.


The Fully Immersive Experience

Unlike our tasting experience, this extended evening allows space for the night to unfold slowly and organically.


Each portion builds upon the last:


Movement creates ease.
Connection deepens presence.
Dining becomes an experience to savor together.


The result feels less like attending an event and more like stepping into a memorable evening away from everyday life.


What to Expect

A warm, welcoming outdoor atmosphere designed for comfort and ease

Gentle grounding practices to help you arrive fully in the moment

Time to savor conversation, connection, and the experience together


This is not a performance, therapy session, or formal class. Every element of the evening is invitational, allowing you and your partner to participate at your own comfort level while simply enjoying the experience together.


The Movement & Connection Experience

Guided by Kelly of Wild Sage Healings, the evening begins with:

  • Gentle grounding and relaxation practices
  • Partner stretching and supportive movement
  • Consent-based touch and connection exercises
  • Simple bodywork techniques promoting relaxation and ease


All activities are beginner-friendly, fully clothed, and designed to feel playful and comfortable rather than intense or therapeutic.


The Private Chef Dinner

Following the movement portion, couples gather for an intimate multi-course dinner prepared by private chef Luke.


The seasonal menu highlights:

  • Fresh, thoughtfully sourced ingredients
  • Balanced, nourishing flavors
  • Beautifully crafted dishes designed for sharing
  • A relaxed dining atmosphere that encourages presence and conversation


Dinner is intentionally paced, allowing guests to settle in and savor the experience without rush.


Perfect For
  • Couples celebrating a special occasion or meaningful date night
  • Partners wanting a memorable shared experience
  • Food lovers who enjoy intimate dining experiences
  • Couples seeking something deeper than a traditional night out


No prior movement or bodywork experience required.


A Gentle Reassurance

You don’t need to be flexible, experienced, or outgoing to enjoy this evening. Everything is guided with care, respect, and consent. Participation is always optional, and couples naturally find their own level of comfort as the evening unfolds.

  • Approximately 3.5–4 hour experience
  • Private outdoor backyard setting
  • Small group size for intimacy and comfort
