New workshops for sex positive spaces

jeudi 18 novembre 2021, 17:20

Whether you're feeling shy or nervous about going to play parties, weekends away or festivals, or you're looking for tips and pointers, this is the place to start.

We'll get into the practical aspects of etiquette, the specifics of consent and boundaries and do our best to accompany you in navigating these spaces with more confidence, joy, and unleashed creativity.

Workshop 1: what happens at a play party and what do I do with this balloon?!

What do we mean when we say 'play party'? What can we expect? What tends to go right, and what can sometimes go wrong? And what's the 'play' part? Is it just a euphemism for s*x? No?! Eek, I think I don't really know how to 'play' anymore! I'm nervooous!...

Let's talk about all that, and get us actually feeling comfortable before, during and after play parties! We'll explore the perspectives, attitudes and beliefs that we want to nurture or question to be able to be free and safe when we relearn what it means to 'play' with others. We'll also cringe and laugh trying to relearn how to play.

Bring your questions along!

Workshop 2: Safety and accountability in play spaces

Communication and consent are critical for creating safety and trust in play parties. And so are the skills needed to redirect scenes, repair mistakes and heal hurts or harms when they do happen. In this workshop, we go through scenarios as they might arise in play parties, with exercises aimed at developing our capabilities and decreasing the obstacles we may have to really honoring the other(s) in their freedom and agency.
