THE THAW – Play party


  • Shetlandsgade 3, 1st floor 2300 Copenhagen Denmark (map)

Winter called. We’re not picking up.

The Thaw is that delicious moment when the ice cracks, the shoulders drop, and your body remembers it has hips. When the tingles return. When something in you softens, warms, and becomes available again. You’re ready to come out of hibernation!

Inspired by seasonal shifts, slow heat, and embodied mischief, we invite you to explore what’s ready to thaw in you - and how you help thaw the room. Because the vibe doesn’t magically appear. It’s built. Breath by breath. Glance by glance. Yes by yes.

At this play party, we explore what it means to not only show up for your own pleasure, but to actively help warm the field we’re stepping into. This is something we create - together.

The evening begins with a ceremony designed to help you land in your body, soften the nervous system, and attune to the collective rhythm. Meeting each other as if humans are a new species. Touching as if texture is a discovery. Letting curiosity lead rather than expectation.

From there, the night opens - for dance, exploration, and the kind of encounters that emerge when we stay present, playful, and aware of our own contribution to the space.

The main playspace opens for embodied expression, creative experimentation, and shared pleasure. Anything happens with consent at its core - chemistry, safety, and spark are co-created in every interaction.

The Connection Corner offers a lightly facilitated space after the ceremony. A place to feel, flirt, breathe, and sense before stepping deeper. Later it transforms into a second playspace for more intimate exploration.

Feel like shaking your tail feathers? Join the dance floor and let the juicy DJ help you shake off whatever winter tried to freeze.

Safer Space Angels are present throughout to support the collective experience. The feeling of safety is something we all help shape, so please reach out if something in the space feels off.

Need a pause? Melt into the cuddle zone, sip something sparkling at the bar, or hang out in the lounge.

WHO IS IT FOR?

For all genders, bodies, and levels of experience – especially for those who understand that warmth doesn’t magically appear, it’s built together.

This is for you if:

  • You want to be a participant, not a spectator

  • You know that presence can be hotter than performance

  • You’re willing to bring awareness, warmth, and responsibility into the room

  • You can hold your own desire while respecting someone else’s boundaries

  • You’re curious about what might awaken when you soften

Come solo, with a partner/s, or with friends.

WHAT TO BRING

A towel or sarong to put under you for play (mandatory)

Any toys or props you’d like to use

Care for the collective experience

Your boundaries, your curiosity, and your willingness to be affected

WHAT TO WEAR

Thawed & Tempting – show us what’s melting. 

Think spring, but make it sexy. Flowing fabrics, mesh, leather, harnesses, lace, raw textures – skin brushing against something interesting.
