Workshops Go Deeper - kink & connection

We all have a certain image of the word 'kink'. Whips, pain, ropes, chains, latex... And since the success of '50 Shades of Grey' and the rise of more and more play parties and toys, more and more people want to experiment with BDSM.

But where on earth do you start if you are interested in kink, but don't really know where your desires and boundaries lie? How do you prevent yourself from playing a role and stay close to yourself? And how can you connect even more with your partner during (or through!) a kinky game?

Connection

That connection has become the starting point of kinkHEARTED, the organization that has developed various workshops to explore exactly that connection. In collaboration with Be Touched Community - an inclusive and warm community where authenticity, vulnerability and connection are central - you can attend various workshops in January and February.

About the workshops

During these workshops you will learn through various exercises how to use pain stimuli, ropes and power dynamics in a playful way with a partner. The workshops have names like ' Pain and Pleasure ', ' Connective Rope ' and ' Find Your Inner Sadist ' - and that is exactly what is explored! But of course there is also attention for consent, safety and ways of playing if you do not necessarily like (giving) pain.

For whom?

The workshops are suitable for anyone who is interested in new ways of connecting with themselves and with a partner. It is nice if you have an open mind and are not afraid of (talking about) sexuality and kink. Both couples and singles are welcome, but even as a single you will do the exercises with another participant. So be prepared to deal with multiple people and roles - and therefore get to know yourself and your kink preferences and boundaries better and better!

Are you mainly interested in learning how to hit the hardest, do you want to learn how to tie knots technically (see also our blog about Shibari ) or do you not believe in stop words? Then these are not the workshops for you. kinkHEARTED stands for 'kink from the heart' and the focus during the workshops is on making a connection: with your partner and with yourself.

Be Touched Community

This collaboration ties in nicely with the Utrecht-based Be Touched Community - where space is offered to experiment with sensuality, intimacy and authentic expression. The core values ​​of the Be Touched Community are consent, safety and inclusivity. Everyone is welcome to come here as they are, with respect for themselves and others. The goal is to offer a place where people can not only discover their desires, but also make deep connections with others and themselves. Whether you are a beginner or already have more experience, Be Touched invites you to show yourself and grow in an environment that focuses on care and connection.
