“Pain is a pleasure in disguise.”
― Debasish Mridha

I know, I know. Pain sounds awful. Why would you want to come to a workshop with pain in the title?
What if we have it all wrong? What if the doors to more pleasure are found in playing with pain. In this workshop we create a safe, playful space to discover how pain and pleasure are part of the same spectrum of sensation. We will use blindfolds, impact, scratching, tickling... All to delight the mind and body with delicious anticipation and breath-taking intensity.
Come solo or with a friend/partner. Althouth its erotic themes it is a pants-on space.
BTW: At the suggestion of one of my regulars I've begun a loyalty card system! Do you qualify for 50% off?
Early bird runs out 30th Feb!!

Come to this if...
- You'd like to understand how pain can lead to pleasure and can be played with
- Want to bring a kinky dynamic into your relationships and discover how pain can enliven it
- You're curious about the exploring your edges and your darker desires
- You'd like to meet like-minded people and play together
- You'd like a really well held. safe and playful space that allows you to have fun and learn
- You want a focus on sensuality and eroticism, but without full nudity and full sexual intercourse (to help us slow down and not need to go all-the-way')
Caring Kink
The work of Kink includes BDSM (Bondage, Discipline, Dominance, Submission, Sadism, Masochism) which is a lot of big scary words, I know. My mission is to remove the stigma and fear from these wonderful, playful and innocent practices and help people discover the benefits of a safe space to explore our shadows, edges and innocent playful desires.
Within the workshop we will always begin with meeting ourselves and each other, to settle our nervous systems and feel connected and safe. We will then work on knowing our 'no' and getting our clear consent practices in place. This is embodied work and my aim is to help people experience their bodies in the moment, so they know what they need and how to communicate it. I work hard to make a space where participants also feel enabled to communicate their needs. This is one of my strengths as a facilitator. I understand the importance and the challenge of this.
PAIN AND PLEASURE
This particular workshop will have a sensual flavour combined with exploring our SADISTIC and MASOCHISTIC sides and get to know how PAIN can lead to PLEASURE. Most of the workshop won't have power dynamics, but later we will explore how we can use power to amplify our pain-pleasure dynamic and bring us deeper into our kinky play. We will explore ways to do this in a safe, held way that allows us to find healing, intimacy and connection through play.
