Setup: Prepare for a tactile adventure. Today we explore your closet not with eyes, but with fingertips—discovering how darkness awakens our other senses and reveals the secret textures that surround us daily.

Engagement:

1. Create Your Sensory Container:

• Find your way to your closet
• Turn out the lights completely
• Cover your eyes with a sleep mask, beanie pulled low, or even a tied t-shirt
• Take a moment to feel the shift as your hands become your primary sensing tools

1. The Exploration:

• Begin by running your fingertips across the edges of hanging clothes
• Dip your hand into your sock bin—can you recognize items by touch alone?
• Explore your tiny-clothes drawer (those items worn under big-clothes)
• Notice textures that irritate or delight
• Do you visualize each piece as you touch it? Anything you don’t recognize?

1. Deepen the Practice:

• Find the dangling sleeves of hanging clothes
• Slip your hand through the wrist holes
• Feel the inside textures of arms and seams
• Pull out anything that calls to you (to wear! or to donate!)
• Bring delightful textures to your jawline, bottom lip, or inside wrist

Integration: What surprised you about experiencing clothes through touch rather than sight? Which textures want to be worn more often? Which might be ready to release? This might be a great time to claim only the most pleasing textures to be near your skin! 

Choose Your Exploration:

• Option 1: Personal Closet Discovery
• Map your own textile landscape
• Notice what you're drawn to
• Rediscover forgotten treasures
• Donate the discards
• Option 2: Intimate Exchange
