Are you curious to taste new flavours and expand your recipes from life’s more k!nky buffet: this is a perfect way to explore your appetite!This weekend we invite newcomers and experienced tigers who long for even deeper, intimate and daring connections while playing with your edgy, k!nky desires. This is a deep dive into what House of Play has to offer and we have carefully curated an immersion with focus on consciousness while playing. Meaning: going slow, becoming present, daring to be vulnerable, while being more confident in what playful means to you. It is also about being aware of why and how we play with different genres and what happens in our mind, body and connection when we do. We wish for you to leave with a toolbox of how to have spicier, safer and deeply connected kink sessions and play with more bravery and integrity.
Expect to:
.. expand your creativity, develop your practical skills, discover and unfold your embodied sensual self and your k!nk vocabulary, strengthen your self-awareness and increase your ability to genuinely connect with others when going into spaces of intimacy and more advanced forms of playing with sensations, emotions and imaginations.
The weekend offers you to engage in both fun and light exercises as well as more intense and emotional deep experiences. Keep in mind: we care about consent! You are never expected to participate outside your personal boundaries, and throughout the weekend we guide you in how to take care of yourself.
The more practical aspect
Together, we will create a warm, safer and inclusive space for embracing and exploring our vulnerabilities and desires through theoretical knowledge, hands-on experience and practical tools. By exploring our bodies through dance and playfulness, learning skills with ropes and impact, and diving into theories of individual expression and concepts like taking/surrender, we will expand our understanding of consensual play within ourselves and as a group.
We finish off an inspiring weekend with a play session where you get to practise everything you learned and discovered in a facilitated space.
PROGRAMME:
Friday November 1st, 16.00 - 22.30
Welcome and introduction to the weekend
Keywords: Landing in the space, Consent work, getting to know the group
Friday evening will be spent getting to know each other. Through exercises of embodied consent and short meetings, we will land with ourselves and the group and get ready to spend the weekend together.
Saturday November 2nd, 10.00 - 22.30
Keywords: Conscious dance, Rope play, Taking and surrendering, Impact play.
Saturday we will warm up and connect to our bodies with a conscious dance session, so we are connected to ourselves before we start connecting to others.
Learn some basic rope skills that will very quickly allow you to have empowering and deeply connected encounters with ropes.
After lunch we dive into the key concepts of taking and surrendering, to understand how we can go deeper into polarity and have more powerful and meaningful encounters in play. We will experiment with concepts like taking what you want, allowing emotional access, the beauty in suffering and the gift of surrender.
After dinner we will have space for sharings before we dive into the wonders and joy of impact play, combining technique and theory to have fun and emotional sessions with each other. You will learn impact technique, body mechanics and why it can be so, well… impactful.
We round off the evening together, connecting in a cuddle space or you can go home early and get some rest.
Sunday, November 3rd 10.00 - 17.30
Keywords: Body landing, Sharings, exploring your expression in play, Play Party with DJ, Closing circle
Yet again we will be guided to land in our bodies and have a chance to do some small sharings and integrate our Saturday.
This Sunday will be focusing on you - who you are and what you wish to express when playing. We will look at different tools and theories as well as trying a variety of practises to help you find your personal expression and confidence when exploring your sexuality.
The weekend culminates with a session where you get the opportunity to use the insights and tools of the weekend to spend some crisp hours playing - more connected and daring to go deeper to the tunes of our wonderful DJ. We create a safer and more connected space by guiding the evening with some shared exercises before we set you free.
WHO IS IT FOR
Whether you are a complete beginner or experienced in playing with conscious sexuality and experimental kink, this event may offer you deep and meaningful insight and inspiration, and a chance to connect with new and curious people in a safer setting.
The weekend is open to all genders, bodies, sexual orientations and partner constallations. You can come alone or with one or more partners. We operate in a sex—and emotional-inclusive space, where various forms of sensual and sexual expression are welcome, provided that everyone involved consents. We deeply respect your personal boundaries and you are not expected to engage in any forms of communication or interaction that you are uncomfortable with.
Every exercise is an invitation to explore, not a demand. The exercises are often practical, physical, and hands-on. To provide a wide variety of experiences, we frequently invite you to do exercises in different combinations with different people. These can be same-gender or mixed-gender, and we encourage you to be open to working with any gender and person during the exercises since it is our experience, that this gives the best possibilities for collective co-creation and flow. You may choose to only play with your partner(s) if that is what you prefer.
DRESSCODE
Throughout Friday and Saturday we encourage you to wear something that makes you feel comfortable and allows you to move. As the weekend progresses into more juicy encounters, you may want to bring some clothes or items that make you feel sexy.
For the Sunday play session we encourage you to dress up into something that helps set the mood - whatever that means to you.
WHAT TO BRING
Bring a selection of your favourite ropes and toys if you have them. We also have a limited number of ropes and impact tools you can borrow.
Contact us for information on where you can buy good quality ropes and impact tools.
Bring your own food or buy it in the surrounding area. It is not possible to cook at the venue, but there is a microwave.
Bring a water bottle and thermos cup with a lid and a towel/sheet for the play session.
