Over dit evenement
Are you someone who likes to keep control or do you prefer to let somebody else decide what happens? During this afternoon you get to explore both sides in a gentle and juicy way!
The workshop
Through playful exercises you will explore how it is to follow and to lead, to receive and to give and how to ask for what you want. Maybe you’ll get to know your inner bossy b*tch or subtle servant. Playing with power can be really fun, healing and sexy. During this afternoon you can connect to an unknown side of yourself and deepen your skills in being in the dominant and the serving role. We will start with a check-in and a short meditation and we will slowly build up through playful exercises that slowly become a bit more edgy: guiding and being guided through the space blindfolded or asking or offering a certain type of touch or movement to/of somebody else. This can look like a hug, massage or dance. We will keep things light and playful but there will be enough to explore!
We will go slow en gentle
The workshop is a gentle kinky workshop where we will play with power but will not get into any sexual activities or other kinky things such as bondage, humilation or impact play. Clothes will stay on and we will go slow and steady and you are free to join in any exercise as long as it feels good to you. You are welcome to come solo, with friend(s) or partner(s). If you want to stick with your partner(s)/friend(s) that is fine but you are more than welcome to mingle with the group for the exercises.
Assistance and safety
My assistant Plenty(they/them) and myself will be there to guide you through the exercises and to answer your questions. Plenty is well versed in kink and intimacy work. They have an open and centered energy and will be there for your questions and support. If you are having a hard time during the workshop or if you want to celebrate a new experience we are here for you!
Consent will be a very important part of this workshop and guidance to negotiate and check consent is shared upfront. The workshop is designed to give you the space to explore in a safer way. You will never get pushed to do anything and we will coach you and remind you to honour your boundaries and how to communicate them. You don’t have to wear any special sexy clothes, just stuff you feel good in and that allows you to move.
Inclusivity
In this workshop we will not work with terms as masculine and feminine energy because I believe that being dominant or serving has nothing to do with gender. All 18+ people are welcome whether you are experienced or a total newbie in this field. We love a diverse crowd of people and will do what we can to accomodate this. I identify as non binary myself so I have some experience with not feeling welcome everywhere, if you have any reservations or questions please feel free to contact me. Going to a workshop like this can take courage!
The workshop will be in English unless everybody is comfortable communicating in Dutch.
About Marcus(they/them), facilitator
I love working with groups and creating a place where people can get to know themselves and others in a playful way. Kink in particular helped me to get more in touch with my body, desires and still is a great way to experiment with having different roles and reflect on the ones life sometimes asks of us.
There is so much to discover and experience by listening to your body and by being vulnerable together. Before I started facilitating workshops, I attended many of them. I learned how to relate to myself and other people, which was nice and sometimes confronting. I am someone who gets tense easily and thinks a lot, but through this work I learned to let go, accept who I am and also to enjoy interactions with other people. I would love to share this with you!
Last year I completed a training course to facilitate (kinky) workshops and I keep developing myself. For more info about how I work and who my teachers are please visit my website: gentlejuiciness.com or instagram @gentlejuiciness
