The Sensual Self: A HoD Sensory Salon

Over dit evenement

A sensual, sensory journey created and co-curated by Piero Flor and Eva, in the spirit of House of Delphine. Together we create its evening chapter, The Labyrinth of Senses. More info on The Labyrinth of Senses here: https://hipsy.be/event/246340-the-labyrinth-of-senses-a-hod-immersive-experience

Some experiences you attend. This one you build, with your own skin and your own desire, and then you offer it to another.

The Sensual Self is a full day of sensual, erotic creation. In the afternoon you slip inward, waking your senses and your desire one by one, then you weave them together with a small group into something charged and alive. By evening, what you have made becomes a living labyrinth: an intimate, mostly blindfolded journey of touch, breath and temptation that opens its doors to guests, while you hold the world you seduced into being.

The day draws on sensory labyrinth theatre, a form of immersive experience where you move through a constructed world in the dark, led by touch, scent, sound, taste and the heat of presence rather than by sight. Blindfolded, your skin becomes your eyes. A hand you cannot see, a breath at your neck, a taste on your lips: everything slows, sharpens, and charges. It is intimate, wordless, and deeply personal. Less a performance to watch than a body of desire to feel your way through.

Inspired by Delphine Seyrig, actress, activist, and disobedient muse, House of Delphine is a sanctuary for sensual liberation, radical curiosity, and embodied freedom. This is a place where elegance, sensuality, and playfulness intertwine, inviting you to explore beyond societal boundaries, reconnect with your body, and celebrate desire as an act of liberation.

Piero Flor and a dedicated team guide our visitors with care and attention, drawing on years of experience with touch, intimacy, and the art of shared encounters. Each gathering unfolds like a story, a ritual, a quiet celebration of curiosity, care, and embodied freedom. The House opens as a living world where every moment invites discovery, connection, and the gentle guidance of those who hold the space.

EVA, CO-HOST AND CO-CURATOR
Eva knows both the empty places and the way back from them, and she walks that road alongside others with warmth and zero taboos. Creativity is her thread: art, sensual dance, a love of the body and the psyche, eros and thanatos, the visible and the invisible. She makes it her mission to keep things open and speakable, and to see each person in their raw, real, unique strength. That freedom is what she brings to this labyrinth.

THE SHAPE OF THE DAY
* Part one: Exploring The Sensual Self ~ 14h-16h
We begin in the early afternoon by slowing right down, until you can feel your own pulse again. Through breath, presence, touch and attention, you meet your own senses and your own desire, without hurry and without goal. This is where you learn your own language of wanting: what stirs you, what softens you, what makes you lean in. An invitation to feel, not to perform. The intention of this afternoon is to deeply explore, feel and connect to your own sense of sensuality without any performance, beyond the conditioning of what you think this should look like.

* Part two: Curating a sensual space ~ 16h30-18h30
In the late afternoon we turn toward each other. The Labyrinth of Senses is predominantly a creation of Eva and Piero: a series of sensory stations, or hubs, each with its own texture, mood and intention. In this part you contribute to them, taking that awakened, charged awareness and shaping it into small, seductive moments: a touch that lingers on the skin, an encounter that quickens the breath, a taste offered in the dark. We bring the structure so you are never building from nothing, and together we fill it with heat and intention.

* Dinner break ~ 18h30-19h30
We eat together or you can take a break for yourself and leave the space. Bring your own food or order together with us from a tasty Thai or Italian restaurant nearby.

* The evening: The Labyrinth of Senses ~ 19h30-22h
An immersive experience to awaken your senses.
As night falls, guests arrive to surrender to what we have created together. Mostly blindfolded, occasionally lifting the veil to steal a glimpse, they move from one charged encounter to the next while you hold the space and guide their longing. Between passages, everyone gathers for a whisper tea night: a hushed, candlelit landing place where breath settles and stories are shared in murmurs, while others are still lost, deliciously, in the labyrinth.

CONSENT, AND WHAT THIS IS
Let us be clear about what this experience is, and what it is not. This is not a play event, and there is no sens.ual play here. The heart of the day is intimacy with yourself. In the first part especially, all of the attention turns inward: you meet your own senses, your own body, your own desire, with no one to please and nothing to perform.

In the second part, as we build the labyrinth together, there is room to explore some of that sensory language with one another, as part of the creative process. Here the energy stays soft. In our color code, this is pink: tender, sensual, unhurried. Any interaction remains gently sensual only, and underwear bottoms stay on at all times. Nothing goes further than that, by design.

Consent is the ground we stand on. Every touch is invited, every boundary is welcome, and a no needs no explanation. You set the pace, you can pause or step back at any moment, and our team holds that frame with care, so that softness and safety are never in question.

WHY COME?
House of Delphine offers a rare space for:

* Safety & Freedom: A carefully held environment where you can explore sensuality and intimacy at your own pace, with clear boundaries and active consent as our foundation.
* Embodiment & Expression: Reconnect with your body through movement, touch, and presence. This is an invitation to feel, not perform.
* Rebellious Connection: Challenge societal norms around desire, pleasure, and sensuality. Here, your curiosity is rebellion, and your pleasure is political.
* Healing & Transformation: Experience intimacy as a pathway to self-discovery. With dedicated aftercare and attentive guidance, the House supports your journey beyond the day itself.

Whether you come to awaken your senses, explore gentle touch, create a sensory world for others, or simply be present in a space that celebrates sensuality without shame, you belong here.

WHO IS THIS FOR?
The House of Delphine centers female sensual liberation and queer curiosity. We welcome women, queer folks, couples, and duos who approach this space with respect, care, and genuine curiosity.

To nurture a balanced and comfortable atmosphere where everyone can explore freely, we thoughtfully manage our space. Single cisgender heterose*ual men are warmly welcome, with entry prioritised for other guests first.

If you seek embodied freedom and authentic connection, you belong here.

GOOD TO KNOW
This full-day ticket is for the co-creators: you move through the workshop, help build the labyrinth, and hold the evening. A separate ticket is available for guests who come only to the evening experience.

* Dresscode: We believe in freedom, but we invite you to make an effort. Dress to impress. You don't need to follow social guidelines or gender norms, but we ask that you step beyond your everyday clothes. Wear something that makes you feel sexy and alive. The dresscode itself is an invitation to transform and explore. For this experience, also choose something you feel at ease being blindfolded and touched in: soft fabrics that invite the hand.

* Age: All ages are welcome! As this is an adult only event, we require you to be at least 21 years old.

* Alcohol: This is a non-substance and non-alcoholic event. For the safety and comfort of all, anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs will not be admitted or sent home.

* Belonging & Accessibility: House of Delphine is LGBTQI+ friendly and welcomes BIPOC community members. We strive to create an inclusive space where everyone feels safe and at home. People of all bodies, abilities, and backgrounds are welcome. If you have a disability, chronic illness, or specific access needs, please contact us when booking so we can support you in fully enjoying the evening.

* The Team: Our dedicated team creates a safe, welcoming space throughout the evening.
- Guardians hold the safety and consent culture of the space.
- Co-Hosts guide you through exercises and experiences.
- Stewards curate the atmosphere and take care of the practical flow of the evening, while also participating as guests themselves.
- Co-Curators host and organise the space, led by your lead-curator Piero Flor, an experienced intimacy coach and facilitator. Each team member is educated in consent, care, and in creating the magic that makes House of Delphine feel both free and held.

* Photography/Phones/Film Policy: To protect privacy and presence, phones are not allowed during the event. Photography and filming will be handled exclusively by professional creators. You will only be included in images or video if you have explicitly given your consent, and this is respected with great care and attention.

* Pre- and aftercare: Your journey begins before you arrive. We'll prepare you with all the information you need, including an intimacy and safety guide, so you feel ready and held. Throughout the evening, our dedicated team is here to support you: whether you need guidance, a quiet moment, or simply someone to connect with. After the event, we continue to care for you with thoughtful aftercare resources, guided exercises, and space for reflection and feedback. We also provide access to professional support for individual guidance, both before and after the event.
