Primal Animal & Pet PIay Workshop + Jam!

Immerse yourself in a Pagans Paradise Signature exclusive offering: a themed gathering blending connection, education, and demonstrations hosted by & Alana

Instinct. Hunt. Joyful. Surrender.

Part of our Primal Series of workshops and parties, this immersive experience invites you to step beyond the social self and into something more instinctual, embodied, and alive.

Primal Animal & Pet PIay explores the full spectrum of animalistic expression — from structured pet pIay and training dynamics to raw, untamed primal interaction including chase, capture, surrender, and the energetic dance of hunter and hunted.

Whether you feel like a loyal companion, a curious creature, or something more wild and feral, this space is designed to help you explore those instincts with intention, consent,, safety and creativity.

A guided exploration of roles, instinct, and embodied engagements

We explore two interconnected paths: Pet PIay and Primal PIay — and how they overlap.

💥 Human as Animal

• Reconnecting with instinct as part of our nature

• Exploring primal identity beyond roles

💥 Hunter & Hunted Dynamics

• Chase, pursuit, capture, surrender,

• The energetic exchange of predator and prey

💥 Feral Embodiment

• Movement, intensity, and grounded physicality

• Safe ways to explore rougher, instinct-driven interaction

💥 Consumption & Desire

• The feeling of wanting, taking, or being taken

• Exploring intensity in a consensual, negotiated way

💥 Pack & Group Energy

• Group dynamics, hierarchy, and collective movement

• Animal-to-animal interaction without structured roles

💥 Negotiation for Primal PIay

• Communicating intensity, limits, and escalation

• Balancing freedom with safety

🐾 Understanding the pet/handler dynamic and finding your role

🐾 Body language, vocalizations, and non-verbal communication

🐾 Collaring, leashes, and training techniques

🐾 The sensory joys of pet pIay: touch, movement, and headspace

🐾 Negotiation, boundaries, and creating a safe container for engagements

With a mix of guided exercises, live demonstrations, and hands-on activities, you’ll have the opportunity to explore pet pIay in a fun and supportive environment.
