Are you ready to embark on your journey into the world of Conscious K!nk and unlock your k!nky potential?
This weekend offers you lots of hands-on experience, theoretical knowledge, and specific tools that you can use for creating safer, spicier, and deeply connected k!nk experiences – approaching play with more bravery and integrity.
This is an immersive journey primarily for newcomers into kink and what it means to be conscious in play. We’ll slow down, be present, embrace vulnerability, and grow in confidence about what k!nky play means to each of us.
Expect to:
Expand your creativity
Develop practical skills and tools
Discover and embrace your embodied sensuality and k!nk vocabulary
Strengthen your self-awareness
Enhance your ability to connect genuinely with others in intimate, advanced forms of sensation, emotion, and imagination play
The weekend will offer a mix of fun, light-hearted exercises, as well as more intense and emotional deep dives. And remember: consent is at the core of everything we do! You’ll never be asked to step outside your personal boundaries, and we’ll guide you in taking care of yourself throughout.
The themes will be:
Consent and negotiations – how to know your own boundaries and use consent practice and negotiation as sexy tools to go deeper by creating a safer space.
Playing with the dynamic of domination and submission – the delight of taking control and being in power, and the bliss of submitting to someone else’s joy, lust and desire.
Impact play – how to skillfully use flogging and caning – and mix punishment, bliss, pleasure, and pain into a powerful cocktail.
Rope bondage – offers you intimacy, power, surrender and aesthetics – all in one.
Giving and receiving, taking and surrender – how your mindset makes all the difference in creating intense, lustful, and energized sessions.
Opening your mind to the many possibilities and fantasies in play.
Exploring what your personality and expression in play is.
Our foundation for all sessions is conscious kink.
We aim to deepen our presence when we play in order to be aware of the dynamics of the moment. Being honest with what is going on between us makes our sessions more personal, intense, and interesting. We can use what arises to create moments of bliss, s3xual ecstasy, stillness, and deep connection. Part of this is to become aware of our automated responses and choose to go with what is alive and exciting, rather than the safety and predictability of what we always do.
PROGRAMME
Together, we’ll create a warm, safe, and inclusive space where we can explore our vulnerabilities and desires. Through a combination of theory, hands-on practice, and practical tools, we’ll explore our bodies with movement, play, ropes, and impact. We’ll also delve into concepts like taking/surrender, dominance and submission, and your individual expression. This exploration will deepen your understanding of consensual play, both individually and within the group.

Welcome and introduction to the weekend
Keywords: Landing in the space, Consent, Getting to know the group
Our weekend together begins with a warm welcome and an introduction to set the tone. Through embodied consent exercises, theoretical understanding of consent and short encounters, we’ll connect with ourselves and each other, landing in the space and into the flow of the weekend. This is your chance to meet the group and get comfortable before diving deeper.
Saturday, September 13th, 10.00 - 22.00
Keywords: Sensing yes and no in the body, Rope play, Taking and surrendering, Power Play expressions, Sharing and soft landing.
Start your Saturday by tuning into your body and its boundaries with a conscious movement session – an opportunity to connect deeply with yourself before connecting with others. After grounding ourselves, we’ll introduce some basic rope skills that easily unlock empowering ways to create profound, connected experiences with ropes.
In the afternoon, we’ll explore the art of taking and surrendering – how to embrace polarity, make encounters more powerful, and experience play with emotional depth. We’ll experiment with concepts like taking what you desire, allowing vulnerability, the beauty in surrender, and the deep emotions that come with it.
After dinner it is all about you – your expression, your confidence, and what you wish to communicate through play. We will dive into different ways you can express yourself and your unique personality in play.
We’ll end the evening in a soft landing together, or if you prefer, take a quiet moment to rest.
Sunday, September 14th, 10.00 - 17.30
Keywords: Body landing and tools for nervous system regulation, Impact Play, Fantasies, Power play, Closing circle
This morning we focus on the importance of coming back to your own body and having a strong connection with it, as well as tools to regulate yourself if play gets too intense before delving into the joyful and intense world of impact play. Learn techniques, understand body mechanics, and discover why impact play can be so profoundly ... impactful.
After lunch we will open up your beautiful curly minds and take a look at some of the sexy, silly, deep, taboo and mindblowing fantasies that constitute the world of kink and that might live rent free in your brain – and offer you a chance to play with some of the dynamics that are alive in them.
We end the weekend with sharing and coming together as a group.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
If you’re new to playing with conscious sexuality and experimental kink, this weekend offers you an opportunity to uncover your full k!nky potential, gain profound insights and connect with like-minded individuals in a safer, inclusive environment.
The weekend is open to all genders, bodies, sexual orientations, and partner constellations. You can come alone or with one or more partners. We honor all forms of sensual and sexual expression in a consent-driven, emotionally inclusive space. You are never expected to step outside your boundaries, and any form of communication or interaction that doesn’t feel comfortable is completely up to you.
CAN I JOIN AS A BEGINNER?
Yes! This workshop is exactly for you as a beginner! You can of course also join even though you have some experience in different aspects of playing with k!nk, if you simply wish to get more insights into yourself and reflections about the world – or if you simply wish to meet like minded people and enjoy your time going back to basics in connection with others.
DO I NEED A PARTNER?
You can come alone, in pairs or as a group. Every exercise is an invitation to explore. The exercises are often practical, physical, and hands-on. You’ll be invited to work with different people in various combinations throughout the weekend, giving you the chance to co-create in a fluid, collective experience, however you don’t have to. While we encourage openness to different people and genders in exercises, you may choose to play exclusively with your partner(s) if that feels right for you.
DRESSCODE
Wear something comfortable that you can move around freely in. We encourage you to also bring some smaller items of clothing that can help you get into a more k!nky mindspace.
WHAT TO BRING
If you have any toys, ropes, floggers or kinky items that you wish you bring, you are very welcome to do so. We have some equipment that you can borrow.
Bring a note book and a bottle with a lid.
Bring your own food or buy it in the surrounding area. We recommend bringing your food, so you don’t have to spend the entire break shopping or waiting for takeout. There is a limited fridge space and a microwave available at the venue.
