A Feast for the Senses – Deepening the relationship with yourself, others, and life through pleasure, sensuality, and teasing. A Celebration of Spring!

How much pleasure can you receive? Let’s make it more!

This weekend is for everyone. Whether single, coupled, throupled, solo-poly or otherwise, Young, older, wise, or wet behind the ears. This weekend is a deep dive into our own pleasure packed in a feast for the senses.

How much do you allow yourself to feel?
How large is your capacity for receiving (oh yes, this is a skill you can train!)
Which pathways for pleasure have lay undiscovered, waiting for you to explore them?
Which intimacy languages work for me?

This weekend is all about taking pleasure in different ways, about getting as intimate as we can get. It’s research into what makes us tingle while accepting that there may be things that don’t work for us too (and that is perfectly valid information). It’s the juiciest laboratory imaginable, and one of the team’s favorite weekends!

Elements you will find this weekend:

stimulation for all the senses. Your eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and skin will be tickled.
the usual build-up. Getting in touch with your inner guidance system and boundaries before anything else.
slow pace, because the slower we go, the more we feel…
shorter exercises to meet different faces (if you want to – you are also welcome to stay with your partner) and longer exercises to dive deeper
neuroscience, baby! A workshop is great, but how about we invite our neural pathways to rewire for structural change – for the better?

Things we play with:

stimulating all the senses: the eyes, nose, ears, skin, and mouth
touch, including sensual touch, but underpants stay on (it’s a pink event) and no touching of naked genitals.
tools like rope, food, blindfolds, feathers, etc
exercises and inspiration from the Wheel of Consent, Ritual Play, eclectic neo-tantra, consciously chosen power dynamics
practicing teasing, seduction, anticipation. How can we build up pleasure even more?

This weekend is a weekend to nourish yourself. It’s all about deepening your relationship with yourself, and/or your partner(s), and/or new friends, and/or life as a whole. You are tickled to shake patterns and find new ways to meet. To bring healing to insecure and unloved parts of yourself.

This is a pink event.

This event welcomes folks from all walks of life. We are LGBTQIIA+ informed (Wilrieke and most of their team identify as such), $lut-friendly, trauma-informed, and non-monogamy informed. White folks are overrepresented in our team and life experiences are coloured through that lens. We do come from different social backgrounds and have different life experiences when it comes to health, wealth, neurodiversity, gender, sexual orientation, etc.

We welcome folks with disabilities. We can adapt exercises so that they fit you. Where we can we will support you. If you have a person/animal that supports you in daily activities that you need to bring for your care, they can of course come with you without buying a ticket. Please reach out if you have special needs, and we will discuss how we can support you. In case we cannot comfort your needs, we will honestly let you know.

There are several bathrooms on the first floor (no all-access bathrooms), and a kitchen with lunch facilities. There are mattresses in the workshop space.
