✨ Style of the Day
🧠 Afternoon: Workshop by Wilrieke Sophia — Energy Sex
💃 Evening: Freeflow play party, dance & connection in a rich, welcoming atmosphere
❤️ Event color: RED — sensual, edgy, grounded, curious
🔞 This is a Temple Night, or “Red Play Party” as created by Exploring Deeper — a day of exploration, touch, presence, and connection in a supportive environment. Whether you come to sip tea, indulge your sexy fantasies, dance, cuddle, or just watch, you’ll be welcomed with open arms.
During this event you can:
✅ Join a unique workshop every edition (bondage, energy sex, neo-tantra, kinky practices…)
✅ Play with the B-SMART tool for safer intimacy
✅ Learn how to use your Inner Navigation System for clear choices
✅ Dress up, flirt, dance, massage, or simply observe
✅ Enjoy a diverse, open-hearted community of all genders, bodies & backgrounds
💡 MOST IMPORTANT NOTES
⚠️ This event is a wonderful first play party to visit, but we recommend at least some experience in sex-positive spaces. Being comfortable with (optional) nudity and explicit action is helpful. Workshops like tantra, kink, touch, or cuddles are a solid background. Not sure? Message Wilrieke to check!
⚠️ These spaces highlight both your ease and your challenges — please come ready for that.
⚠️ You’ll get a practical info email a few days before. Sign up with your best-used email address (if you unsubscribed from the newsletter, our emails cannot reach you!).
🧪 IN THE WORKSHOP (afternoon)
👁️Energy Sex
You don’t need to take your clothes off to have amazing sex. You don’t need to touch your genitals (or even any part of your body) to have amazing orgastic experiences. Regardless of our gender or sexual preferences, we all have receptive and penetrative qualities that we can use in all kinds of fun ways.
This workshop is for both pragmatists and spiritual folks (I speak both neuroscience and woo-woo), singles, couples and other relationship constellations, folks and constellations of any gender, sexual preference, newbies, and more seasoned practitioners.
Expect a playful workshop where we will explore the possibilities of what can happen when we enlarge our spectrum of energetic play.
Potential partial nudity during the afternoon, but undies on.
Note: if you come with a partner, you are, as always, welcome to stay together.
🎭 IN THE PLAY PARTY (evening)
After a shared dinner break, the evening program begins. We’ll offer an optional safer sex & play etiquette talk, especially recommended for those new to play parties. The evening opens with dancing and gentle transition exercises, then flows into free exploration:
✨ Touch
✨ Sensuality
✨ Presence
✨ Pleasure
✨ Curiosity
Feel free to bring your own toys, or try out our well-stocked collection (thanks to Tailboneshop!). Play solo, together, or just watch — voyeurism counts as participation too!
Consent, self-awareness, and respect are at the heart of it all.
This is for you if:
✔️ You are sensually, erotically, and emotionally savvy enough to play nicely with others
✔️ You communicate clearly and respect boundaries
✔️ You’re willing to learn, explore, and share
✔️ You might simply want to watch or cuddle, and that’s absolutely welcome
🚫 THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF…
⛔ You cannot handle another person’s “no”
⛔ You have no prior experience in touch-based spaces (check the FAQ first and then with Wilrieke if unsure)
⛔ You want “easy sex” or a pickup party vibe
⛔ You cannot align with our inclusion values: no racism, no misogyny, no ableism, no body/gender/sexuality shaming
🏳️🌈 INCLUSION & VALUES
This space is LGBTQIA+ informed, slut-friendly, trauma-informed, and non-monogamy-friendly. Wilrieke and much of their team identify as queer. We do acknowledge our team is majority white, and reflect on this lens. We welcome people from all social and cultural backgrounds, with all body types, neurotypes, and lived experiences.
