CHANGED DATES: 26-28/4/2024, Heist-op-den-Berg

This is the second workshop in the trilogy of ‘Secret Gardens – Shapeshifting the Spirit of Sexuality’, but any one of these workshops can also be followed by itself…

In the spirit of opening up our conception of sexuality, intimacy and relating, in this weekend we enter into the domain of kink. But, again, with a twist. Because kink is a deeply tantric form of enjoyment: we learn to appreciate the things that scare us in ‘normal’ life. In regular kink, that would mean that we start to find pleasure in pain, domination, or masterful manipulation. And although we won’t be copying the regular attire and aesthetics of kink, we will in this workshop dive into the ambiguity of ritual play landscapes, working with the elements and objects, to create sacred and kinky spaces to travel through.

We explore to broaden our horizons, to discover new parts of our presumed ‘selves’, to see that we are not always who we seem to be. Designing our own ‘tools for desire’ also means, entering unchartered territories of desire and vulnerability. So, we will test the waters of some kinky techniques, but this is not a ‘classical’ kink workshop. This is not a workshop to show off your mastery of knots, of pain, or of whipping. Rather, this is an experimental, sensual and spiritual ritual workshop that opens up your scope of pleasure, self, and imagination, into the realms of eco-sexuality, existential kink, and sensual worship.

FOR WHOM:

This is a workshop that is open to everyone ready to open up and go truly naked to the core. You do not need to be in a couple, but it is for sure great to enter this experiment with your partner. Most important is your willingness to listen, to your own body and the body of your partner. To go deep, and not push into the highway of orgasm-as-you-know-it. To be light and experimental in your approach. To allow gates to be opened you never thought of entering…
