'Go Deeper' Series #1 - Pain & Pleasure

About this event

KinkHEARTED proudly presents: the 'Go Deeper' series:

After the success of last series, we're back! kinkHEARTED offers the possibility to dive even deeper with your (play)partners. In a 4-sessions series, you will be guided into a better understanding of pain, pleasure and power dynamics, while growing your skillset to connect - both with your partner and with yourself.

During this series - divided over 4 evenings - we will touch on the following themes:
- Negotiating a scene - how to playfully come to consent and agreements
- The power of presence
- Living your dynamic
- Knowing and using pain
- Connecting through rope
- Breath and domination
- Owning your desires

Every evening will have its own focus, but to create a safe space to explore for everyone, we will use the first 3 themes (negotiating a scene, the power of presence and living your dynamics) as ongoing topics for every session.

Sessions:
Session 1: Pain & Pleasure (26/03/2026)
Explore your relation to pain: where do you find pleasure? By using different roles, different tools and different intensities we help you determine how (and or) you want to use pain in your play. Next to that, we dive deeper into reading your (practice) partner: body language, sounds and breath will be incorporated into the workshop.

Session 2: Connective Rope (09/04/2026)
Use ropes as tools of connection and play. Without technical knots we can focus explicitly on how to connect with your (practice) partner. That gives us space to play with movement, presence and approach.

Session 3: Pressure Points & Power Play (23/04/2026)
We create connection without touching and explore how breath can enhance the dynamic between two people. From there we move into using pressure points as a pain (or pleasure?) tool and we close with a deep domination exercise.

Session 4: Embrace your Inner Sadists (07/05/2026)
Own your sadistic desires. The sadist spectrum is much bigger than whips and chains: it can be words and pressure and sensations and denial. How do you (want to) relate to that spectrum? You can find that out in a playful connective evening.

For the full experience we advise to follow the entire series (although it is possible to book the workshops separately as well). The workshops are accessible to both couples and singles. Switching (both roles and partners) during the workshops is invited but not mandatory. We offer a combination of full-serie tickets and a few single tickets per evening, with a max of 24 participants per session.

Facilitators: Nico & Bri (kinkHEARTED)
Spaceholder: Wies (Be Touched)

Nico has over eight years of experience in various tantra schools and has a passion for bodywork and Shibari/Kinbaku. He is trained in non-violent communication and the proud father of two beautiful teenage boys. Nico is also a teacher who helps young people reach their creative potential.

Bri is an experienced kinkster in various dynamics and has been spaceholder at a diverse collection of kinky and tantric events (both sexual and non-sexual). Bri also works as a CrossFit coach and strongly believes in movement as medicine. One of her greatest motivations in work is teaching people how to use AND read their bodies which forms a beautiful bridge between her work as a kink facilitator and her work as a coach.

Wies is renowned for her vibrant energy, insatiable curiosity, and infectious enthusiasm. Inclusivity is a core value close to her heart, and she effortlessly puts people at ease with her warm and playful personality. Simultaneously, Wies emanates strength, stability, and a sense of security, creating a supportive environment for everyone she encounters.

IMPORTANT INFO:
🍓 Your ticket includes water, tea, sodas and snacks during the workshops.

❗We want to ensure that everyone feels safe and comfortable exploring their boundaries. The pain we work with in this workshop is limited to that which can only leave temporary marks. We will not be working with pain that involves piercing the skin, or any form of play that involves body fluids. Such as needle play, blood play, or any other activity that goes underneath the skin.
