Touch Activist Program
2025 Cohort
August-November

The Touch Activist Program is creating a critical mass of practitioners and every day humans to offer conscious, caring, carnage-informed holding for Black bodies and People of the Global Majority.

Facilitated by Aaron Johnson + Team

The Touch Activist Program will benefit all People of the Global Majority (PGM), but will be focusing specifically on the Chronically UnderTouched Black body and will do a deep evaluation of the Black Brute archetype and the shaping of America’s extractive sexual and violent touch story today. Touch and holding include physical touch as well as energetic presence, song, movement, nature connection, and deep listening. The Touch Activist Program is for both formal practitioners in related areas of expertise, as well as anyone who wants to interrupt the Chronically UnderTouched trauma story and be a part of the collective healing of closeness.

The Touch Activist Program acknowledges that holding, cuddling and getting close to each other through touch is a life-saving act.
