Primal Play: Authentic Meeting Point Workshop

"Primal" = Authentic; "Play" = Meeting Point
Primal Play is about learning together how to feel safe in connection using embodied tools of breath, sound, movement and touch. Through slowing everything down, it provides a unique opportunity to experience deep connections with others beyond words. It allows you to explore your needs, desires, impulses, and boundaries within safe and guided play-rounds. The essence of Primal Play lies in authentic encounters, embracing a spectrum of experiences such as eye-gazing, cuddling, wrestling, dancing, and shared laughter or tears.

During this workshop we will engage in practices to regulate the nervous system and foster group attunement. We will focus on creating safety within in order to gently move into encounters with others. Everything during this workshop is an invitation and you are encouraged to move only as fast as your slowest part. Consent and respecting boundaries (with yourself and with others) is actively encouraged throughout the event.

What to Expect:
⭐ Sharing circle
⭐ Embodiment practices
⭐ Basic nervous system and trauma education
⭐ Several rounds of guided Primal Play interactions
⭐ Co-regulation practices


👉🏻 IMPORTANT TO KNOW
- no previous experience needed
- everything is an invitation, and you are always encouraged to feel for what is right for you in the moment, and whether you want to participate and with whom
- all practices can be adjusted to your personal level of energy and physical mobility
- Primal Play uses touch for connection, not sexual gratification. Clothes stay on, and there's no exchange of bodily fluids. The focus is on safe, consensual interactions that explore boundaries and build trust.
- the space is open for singles and those in all forms of relating - always practice making clear agreements with your partners
- what happens on the mat, stays on the mat - any encounters in this event are meant as a conscious connection practice, not an opportunity to start a new romantic relationship; in other words - this isn't a dating event
- this is a feminist, anti-racist, and LGBTQIA+ inclusive space


👉🏻 IMPORTANT PRACTICAL DETAILS
- please make sure you come sober (sensitive nervous systems will be affected by your altered state as we drop in together)
- wear comfortable clothing that allows for free movement + makes you feel cozy/sensual/relaxed
- do NOT wear perfume and be mindful of intense synthetic smells (lotions/hair products). Natural essential oils in moderation are ok
- please arrive 15 min early - doors close at the starting time
