Join us for a weekend of deep exploration and authentic connection, going deeper into conscious sexuality and play.
Together, let's embrace our vulnerabilities and celebrate our unique fantasies and taboos. House of Play facilitators offer you tools, theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience in playful sessions, that you can use to have sexy, safer, deep and connected kink sessions and play with more bravery and integrity.
We finish off an inspiring weekend with a play party where you get to practise everything you learned in a safer space.
What to expect
Throughout the weekend we will introduce you to all the best of House of Play.
By exploring our bodies through dance and playfulness, learning skills with ropes and impact, and diving into theories of individual archetypes and concepts like taking/surrender, we will expand our understanding of play within ourselves and as a group. It will be fun and deep and you will get a chance to connect with new and curious people.
The weekend offers you engaging and intense exercises, and you are never expected to participate outside your personal boundaries.
Programme
Friday 14th June, 19.00-22.30
Welcome and introduction to the weekend
Keywords: Consent work, getting to know the group
Friday evening will be spent getting to know each other. Through exercises of embodied consent and short meetings, we will land with ourselves and the group and get ready to spend the weekend together
Saturday 15th June, 10.00-22.30
Keywords: Conscious dance, Archetypes in play, Taking and surrendering, Impact play, Facilitated play session
Saturday we will warm up and connect to our bodies with a conscious dance session, so we are connected to ourselves before we start connecting to others
From there we will wiggle into exercises of archetypes in play:
Explore ways of playing with polarity that feel true and natural to you in connection to yourself and your partner, to build experience in how your play can be more authentic, personal and interesting
After lunch we dive into the key concepts of taking and surrendering, to understand how we can go deeper into polarity and have more powerful and meaningful encounters in play. We will experiment with concepts like taking what you want, allowing emotional access, the beauty in suffering and the gift of surrender. For this workshop you will get to learn some basic skills with ropes.
After dinner and to open up the evening we will dive into the wonders and joy of impact play, combining technique, theory and fun sessions with each other. You will learn impact technique, body mechanics and why it can be so, well.. impactful.
We will finish the evening by putting all our newfound knowledge and experience to good use in a small facilitated play session where we will play with polarity, directing and interacting freely - finding your personal expression.
Sunday, 16th June 10.00-17.30
Keywords: Body landing, Sharing pods, Fantasies and taboos, Play Party with DJ, Closing circle
Yet again we will be guided to land in our bodies and have a chance to do some small sharings and integrate our Saturday.
After lunch we are ready for a game of fantasies and taboo where we dare to share and maybe fulfil some personal desires.
The weekend culminates with a play party where you can use all the tools of the weekend to spend some crisp hours - celebrating the summer more connected and daring to go deeper to the tunes of a wonderful DJ

The weekend is open for all genders, bodies and sexual orientations.
You can come as a single or with a partner. We encourage you to change partners and experiment with taking different roles during the weekend, always consent based and within your limits.
We play in a sex- and emotional inclusive space which means that sexual expression is welcome as long as everyone directly involved consents.
You are not expected to engage in any forms of communication or interaction that you are not comfortable with.

Throughout Friday and Saturday we encourage you to wear something that makes you feel comfortable and allows you to move. As the weekend progresses into more juicy encounters, you may want to bring some clothes or items that make you feel sexy.
For the Sunday play party we encourage you to dress up into something that helps set the mood.
