There are many images that can come to mind when thinking about a BDSM play party… images from pop culture, like Eyes Wide Shut, ritualistic gatherings, like the cult of Dionysus festivals, and our own wildest fantasies, inspired by the desires that move us. But how do these images become reality? How do we go about creating the set and setting for the play party we want to actually happen? And how do we get those attending to come together, to move the space forward, into a satisfying collective experience? In this workshop, we will use techniques from BDSM, theater, dance, and ritual play to come together as a group to form two play parties of our collective desire. On Friday, we will focus on group cohesion, spending time becoming familiar with each other, understanding each other's boundaries and how we can relate to one another as a community with the common goal of making play parties where everybody in the room can feel safe, vulnerable, and explorative. On Saturday, we will spend the day building up to our first play party. We will explore rituals, costumes, alter-egos, and masks to see how they can be used to relate to others in the group and be used for play. We will also explore exhibitionism and voyeurism, consent culture in a play party context, and how to use conversation and words to promote the space created. On Sunday, we will dive into nonverbal communication in a play party context, in preparation for a silent play party at the end of the day. How to use slowness and stillness to seek and allow interactions to unfold will be a big theme of the day. We will also discuss performance and how performance can be used to effect a space, and the people in it. Overall, the intention of this workshop is for all those participating to come out of it with the tools they need to go home and confidently participate in the play party of their dreams. We also hope to plant the seeds of the play party culture we know and love, and have so deeply been influenced by, of Berlin’s Schwelle7. ****Space and Format**** The event starts at Friday 18:00 and ends Sunday 16:00/17.00 - depending on if anyone is leaving with public transport. During the event all participants will be living together, immersed in nature within the heart of the forest in beautiful Ryd, Sweden. We will have our own wood sauna by the lake - to nourish our beings as often as we please, with essential oils and yummy body scrubs. Accommodations is located in various small houses in the forest, some with fire places, including the main house where the bathrooms are. The space is truly magnificent! Sleeping options are both single and double beds, about half of each - first comes first. (so you may be sleeping next to some one) The food will be vegan and gluten free, and only organic ingredients will be used, the intention is to lift and support our beings with high vibrational food. This event is alcohol and drug free. If you would like a simple (self-made) dinner and breakfast for Sunday night and Monday morning write Lea at lealovingheart@gmail.com. ****Price and Participation**** You can participate in two ways. (1) As an assistant - you pay only for the food and accomodation (1700 DKK) and assist with cooking, cleaning, and any other way required. (2) As an participant - you pay a full price ticket (2700 DKK) including everything. Please bring your own sheets or rent for 100 DKK.

The nearest station is Ryd, about 7 km away, we will pick you up there if needed. Andy and Saara both grew up in Berlin's Schwelle7, a sex-positive space curated and shaped by Felix Ruckert. It is there that Andy and Saara first saw the intermingling of sexuality, art, and performance, which has deeply affected their approach to sexual interaction, personally as well as professionally. Andy and Saara have both been practicing many facets of BDSM for over a decade. Together they enjoy exploring power exchange, strongly believing that it is the top and the bottom that create a scene together, each with equally important roles and shared responsibility. They also enjoy the full spectrum of sensation, from the softest of tantric touch to the brink of sadomasochism, emphasising that all are means to the same end: being present in the moment. Andy and Saara met each other as European practitioners of Japanese rope bondage in 2016, and have since begun a romance and partnership that has allowed them to travel deeply together within their sexualities and beyond. With Andy being a former organisational coach and massage therapist, and with Saara being a former research mathematician and competitive dancer, they both are able to bridge the languages of body and mind to give workshops that are deeply physical as well as intellectually introspective. They offer this workshop, The Play Party, as a means for sharing their interest in forming the perfect environment for sexual adventure, through ritual, theater, and play. |
