Your presenters:

Swen Brandy (CarnivorePic) is a visual artist, kink educator, and former competitive martial artist with over two decades of lived experience in BDSM. His personal practice spans the roles of sadist, masochist, fetishist, and relentless self-experimenter.

Swen is known for his work in edge play and for creating immersive, often intense, yet always consensual experiences. His approach to waterboarding—both as a practitioner and educator—merges psychological insight with physical technique, offering a grounded and responsible path into advanced forms of erotic exploration.

As the creator of playshooting, he continues to blur the lines between play and art, inviting others into a space where creativity, presence, and authenticity take center stage.

Lil is a switch based in the Amsterdam region. For her, kink and somatic bodywork is a way to connect with another person in the most truthful way she knows. Being fully present in the moment—and sharing that presence with someone else—is what draws her to connecting with others time and time again.

Consent and presence are two essential skills she believes every conscious kinkster should cultivate. As an educator, she supports others in learning how to listen more deeply to their bodies, and how to communicate openly and honestly with their partners.
