Following the incredible success of the first edition of this workshop, we’ve decided to bring it back!
This is an immersive and exploratory collective session on connection, pleasure, and boundaries, set within the framework of an adult — and fully consensual — playground.
The session invites participants to reflect on how our relationships are shaped by the ways we connect, communicate, and care for one another. Through the lenses of desire, consent, vulnerability, and power dynamics, we explore new possibilities for relating with awareness and integrity.
The workshop brings together a crossing of disciplines — drawing from consent-led practices, BDSM practices, somatic movement, and holistic approaches to embodiment — creating a space where pleasure, presence, and communication become tools for deeper relational awareness.
Through guided activities, dialogue, movement, and embodied exploration, we will:
Reflect on how needs and desires shape our everyday interactions
Cultivate practices that foster empathy, trust, and deep listening
Explore how vulnerability and honesty can become sources of strength rather than risk
By the end of the workshop, participants will leave not only with practical tools for navigating consent, but also with a renewed perspective on how respect, curiosity, and collaboration can deepen the quality of our relationships.
The workshop balances reflection with playful exploration and may include:
Interactive and physical exercises
Dialogue and collective reflection
Movement and embodied practices
Consensual play
All practices are gentle, optional, and designed to meet participants wherever they are in their personal journey.
What to bring
A yoga mat
A water bottle
A notebook and a pen
This workshop is open to people of all genders and backgrounds. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward xenophobia, homophobia, ableism, or any form of discrimination. The venue is fully accessible and includes an accessible bathroom, cloakroom, and changing room. There is a sober bar.
Duration: 2.45 hours
