Have you heard the buzz? An extra-long play party, with DJs playing live music to the beat of the party?

This is a special play party for the experienced. A shorter workshop that goes straight into connections, no beginner explanations (less talking = more playing), no ‘no undies off before dinner’ rules, and more time to play!

Are you looking for a place that is held with integrity, that is inclusive and welcoming, yet where you can play with your sexy fantasies, kinky desires, and tantric meditations – or just come for an organic cup of tea and chocolate?
Don’t look any further. This is a Temple Night, or the Red Play Party as created by Exploring Deeper: a day of sensual, luscious exploration in an all-embracing environment of like-minded people!

FOR WHO IS THIS EVENT?
This event welcomes folks from all walks of life. We are LGBTQIIA+ informed (Wilrieke and most of their team identify as such), slut-friendly, trauma-informed, and non-monogamy informed. White folks are overrepresented in our team and life experiences are colored 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 people with specific needs as much as able-bodied folks. Feel free to reach out if you have specific needs that you wish to share with us.

WHAT THE DAY LOOKS LIKE
The doors open half an hour before the starting time. Make sure to be on time! Once we have started we cannot let latecomers in!

The day starts with an opening circle. There are some icebreaker games to land in the space and with the group. This transitions quite fast into a workshop of 1-1,5hr that focuses on connection and touch. You get the opportunity to design the flavor: whether that’s sexy right from the start, cozy, platonic, sensual, … you create it!

The workshop flows into an open play space. We ask you all to bring vegetarian/vegan dinner to share, so we can build a buffet-style table where you can have a bite whenever you want to pause your play. No official dinner break = even more time to play!

The team and I are available for support and inspiration – or a chat at the bar. You can bring your own toys if you want, or try out some of our extensive spread of toys, safer sex materials, and more.

THIS PLAY PARTY IS FOR YOU IF:

✔️ You meet the requirements
✔️ You are sensually, erotically, and emotionally savvy enough to play nicely with others.
✔️ You share well, take care of toys, and communicate clearly.
✔️ You know your wants and boundaries, or you’re willing to explore them.
✔️ You treat yourself and others with respect and kindness.
✔️ You want to come even if you do not plan to play — you are welcome to simply enjoy the atmosphere with no pressure at all.
✔️ You bring a warm, caring, open-minded, generous, thoughtful, compassionate, non-judgmental attitude and conduct yourself with the highest level of integrity.
✔️ You want to relax, smooch, play, or watch (voyeurism counts as participation!).

All genders, bodies, and orientations are welcome. There are no expectations or requirements — this is a space for expression, celebration, and exploration. You are welcome exactly as you are, right now.

THIS EVENT IS NOT FOR YOU IF:

🚫 You are not willing to accept another person’s “no”
🚫 You have no experience in s-positive spaces or workshops about tantra, kink, BDSM, cuddling, or other forms of intimacy — and you feel uncomfortable around unclothed people or explicit activity in the space (feel free to message Wilrieke if you’re unsure whether this is for you).
🚫 You cannot commit to respecting inclusion: no racism, discrimination, misogyny, ableism, or shaming of bodies, sexualities, genders, etc., will be tolerated.
🚫 You are looking for “easy sex” — you will not find it here.
🚫 You are not okay with our commitment against misinformation and disinformation.

👋 ABOUT THE DJs: BAKVIS
Bakvis was born out of desire. She bought a ticket to his party. He gave her the night.

What started with a glance ended in a mix of bodies, beats, and love. Now they merge behind the turntables — lovers in life and in sound. Their sets are a foreplay of sound: Slowly building, softly caressing, then pulsing, raw, and ending in ecstasy. From deep basslines to electrifying melodies — Bakvis plays with desire and makes the floor moan with pleasure.

Feel the music touch you. Let yourself be seduced.
