Kink 101 – An introduction to conscious kink

During this workshop you will get a taste of the basic concepts of kink and BDSM. We will focus on intention, presence and mindful interactions. In this hands-on workshop we will indulge in different exercises involving consent, power and submission, pain and restraint. Maybe you are completely new to the world of BDSM and kink, maybe you’re already in a phase of exploration. Either way, this workshop is for you.

What is Kink Play & Touch Lab Series for Queer People?
Sensual Kink & Touch Lab Series for Queers is a monthly workshop where we aim to create a safe(r) and brave(r) space for intentional, con-sensual exploration and playful encounters amongst diverse orientations and identities.
Using scopes for role-or-impact-play-informed sensuality we playfully explore ways of meeting our own feelings, desires or patterns related to nudity, intimacy, power and touch. We invite you to explore, communicate, and possibly expand your personal boundaries within a framework of mutual respect and consent. This opens up the opportunity to experience the combined power of touch and role play built on the capacity to listen to each other – verbally and non-verbally.
Each event will have its own focus depending on the theme and background of the facilitator*. These short workshops may include nudity, partner exercises or close physical interactions.
