Over dit evenement
Curious to try bringing kink into your erotic play? In this workshop, you’ll get to explore different ways of giving and receiving a wide palette of sensations.
Kink can be a powerful gateway to pleasure, surrender, deep intimacy, and healing. But many of our mainstream depictions of kink fail to capture the essence of what makes kink so powerful - that the more safety and trust we create with our partners, the further we can explore to the edges of our desires.
While the world of kink is vast, this will be an opportunity for you to explore two popular themes under the kink umbrella: impact play and bondage.
Impact play means trying out different types of sensations than you are used to. It might include tools such as paddles and pinwheels, or it might be just with your hands. This is an opportunity to try different things and find out what you like.
Bondage means using rope or cuffs to restrict movement. In this workshop you will learn some very simple knots so you can play safely :)
You’ll practice communicating your desires, limits and boundaries with others, noticing what arises in you when you give and receive Yes’s and No’s. You’ll be supported to break free of unconscious patterns of people pleasing or subtly overstepping your and/or other’s boundaries.
⫸ Who is this for?
❧ This workshop is particularly welcoming toward queer / LGBTQIA+ folks who fall anywhere under the umbrella of queerness. We welcome all genders, ages, bodies, and orientations. Sinsia identifies as queer, and has extensive experience in working with queer people.
❧ All levels of kink experience: we invite anyone to come with a beginner’s mind: what can you learn about yourself and where can you become more skillful?
❧ You can come to the workshop with your play partner(s) or as an individual

❧ FAQ's
❤️ I think I am not queer (enough), am I welcome?
Yes. This is a space to explore and discover new things about yourself. So if you are willing to get curious about yourself, your patterns and your likes and dislikes you are welcome. It does not matter who you are attracted to, what pronouns you use or whether or not you are out of any closet.
What this space is NOT is a place to get all your questions answered about queerness in general. There are great video's on youtube for that.
If you are not sure, get in touch to discuss :)
❤️ Do I have to bring a partner?
You are welcome to come alone or with a partner. If you're joining individually, your focus will be on your personal growth and learning. If you're joining with a partner(s) the focus will likely be more on the relationship dynamic. If you with a partner(s) you are welcome to work together the whole time, or switch it up.
🧡 What if I don't want to do a certain exercise?
I am very explicit in offering different ways in which you can join in each exercise. Those options always include sitting to the side and witnessing, journaling or having a rest. You decide what feels good to you in each moment, and we make space for you to make that decision.
💛 Is it going to be very intense?
Doing new things is always intense. We have found that slowing down is a key ingredient in being able to feel and ask for what we want. So while the exercises might bring up emotions or breakthroughs, we make sure we go slow and take small steps. There will be breaks roughly every 90 minutes. There will also be a non-engagement zone, where yo can go and sit if you want to be left alone for a bit.
💚 How accessible is the space?
There are no thresholds or steps to get into the building or the room. While the toilet is spacious and stepless, there are no wall grips and such.
We will provide cushions, mats and chairs for sitting.
Please get in touch if you need more information or have concerns.
💙 I can't afford a ticket, can I get a discount?
There are discounted places available for those on low income. You can just choose that option when buying your ticket. We don't need you to explain or proof anything. If you are not sure if the discount is meant for you, send me a message :)
Still can't afford to come? Get in touch to talk options.
