The Intimacy Playground - An Evening of Connection and Play

Some of the most important things we never learned were how to ask for what we want, how to say no without guilt,vand how to be truly present with another person.

The Intimacy Playground is a monthly, trauma-informed community gathering for singles and couples who are curious about deeper connection, with themselves and with others. This is a space designed with your nervous system in mind, where consent is practiced rather than assumed, and where you get to move at your own pace.

What to expect

The evening opens with a grounded introduction to boundaries and consent. Not a lecture, but a living conversation that gets your body and your voice involved. We'll establish shared agreements for the space together, so everyone understands the culture before we begin.

From there, the room opens into a series of self-guided stations, eah offering a different flavour of connection and exploration. You choose what calls to you. You can move between stations freely, stay where you feel comfortable, or simply rest and observe. There is no pressure, no performance, and no expectation.

Stations will change monthly and may include eye gazing, touch with consent, partner breathwork, storytelling and conversation prompts, sensory exploration, movement, witness circles, and a quiet integration corner for solo reflection.

This space is for you if:

• You want to practice asking for what you want and receiving a genuine answer
• You're curious about intimacy but want a safe, non-sexual container to explore it
• You're working on boundaries and want to practice them in real time
• You simply want to feel more connected to the people around you

A note on what this is not:

The Intimacy Playground is not a sexual event. It is not a dating event. It is not therapy.

It is a space to practice the skills that make all of your relationships (romantic, platonic, and familial) more honest, more connected, and more alive. Clothing stays on. All touch is negotiated and consensual. Participants are expected to respect the boundaries of others as readily as they assert their own.

If you arrive with an agenda to find a sexual partner or pressure others into connection, this is not the right event for you.

If you arrive curious, open, and willing to take up only the space you've been offered, you're exactly who this is for.
