About this event
Curious to bring a splash kink into your life? In this workshop, you’ll get to explore this exciting world in an approachable, safe, and playful way.
Whether it's impact play, bondage, or role play: getting started with kink can be both fun and overwhelming. Where do you begin? How do you make sure you don't overstep your own boundaries? Or those of others? How do you even know what your boundaries are? Or your desires?
During this workshop, we'll explore these questions. Through exercises that gently increase in intensity, you'll discover what you like and don't like, how you know that, and how to communicate about it.
While the world of kink is vast, this will be an opportunity for you to explore several popular themes within the kink umbrella. You’ll practice crafting and playing out kink scenes, exploring themes such as:
❧ Sensation play (exploring new/different sensations on the body)
❧ Power dynamics/power exchange (also known as Dominance and Submission)
❧ Ropes and light bondage
It will be a gentle yet juicy introduction to kinky ways to play, so you can discover what turns you on and what you want to explore further. We’ll bring all the kinky toys and tools you need to craft delicious kink scenes, while supporting you to build a container of safety so that you can fully enjoy your experience.
You’ll practice communicating your desires, limits and boundaries with others, noticing what arises in you when you give and receive Yes’s and No’s. You’ll be supported to break free of unconscious patterns of people pleasing or subtly overstepping your and/or other’s boundaries.
With the skills and experiences you gain in this workshop, you’ll have a solid foundation to dive deeper into kinky scenes with new or established partners, knowing you can confidently navigate your own desires, limits, and boundaries, and opening up to new worlds of pleasure and possibility.

❧ FAQ's
❤️ I think I am not queer (enough), am I welcome?
Yes. This is a space to explore and discover new things about yourself. So if you are willing to get curious about yourself, your patterns and your likes and dislikes you are welcome. It does not matter who you are attracted to, what pronouns you use or whether or not you are out of any closet.
What this space is NOT is a place to get all your questions answered about queerness in general. There are great video's on youtube for that.
If you are not sure, get in touch to discuss :)
❤️ Do I have to bring a partner?
You are welcome to come alone or with a partner. If you're joining individually, your focus will be on your personal growth and learning. If you're joining with a partner(s) the focus will likely be more on the relationship dynamic. If you with a partner(s) you are welcome to work together the whole time, or switch it up.
🧡 What if I don't want to do a certain exercise?
I am very explicit in offering different ways in which you can join in each exercise. Those options always include sitting to the side and witnessing, journalling or having a rest. You decide what feels good to you in each moment, and we make space for you to make that decision.
💛 Is it going to be very intense?
Doing new things is always intense. I have found that slowing down is a key ingredient in being able to feel and ask for what we want. So while the exercises might bring up emotions or breakthroughs, I make sure we go slow and take small steps. There will be breaks roughly every 90 minutes. There will also be a non-engagement zone, where you can go and sit if you want to be left alone for a bit.
💚 How accessible is the space?
There are no thresholds or steps to get into the building or the room. While the toilet is spacious and stepless, there are no wall grips and such.
I will provide cushions, mats and chairs for sitting.
Please get in touch if you need more information or have concerns.
💙 I can't afford a ticket, can I get a discount?
There are discounted places available for those on low income. You can just choose that option when buying your ticket. I don't need you to explain or proof anything. If you are not sure if the discount is meant for you, send me a message :)
Still can't afford to come? Get in touch to talk options.
