A partnered reach-out practice with Tierra Karou, modeled first with Mariane Karou, that teaches you how to give and receive nourishment through contact. Working in alternating mover and assister roles, the assister places steady, unmoving touch at one point on the mover's body — staying grounded in their own feet, sensing the full 360 degrees around the partnership — until the contact ripples through every part of the mover's body like sunlight warming a plant. You then switch, progressively building into more active expansion where you use your partner's pressure to reach further than you would alone. The practice develops two paired muscles: the ability to fully give your presence without interfering, and the ability to truly receive and be contributed to.
