“...it’s a word which for many immediately conjures salacious imagery and blushed cheeks. However, both the oldest and the most recently-adopted senses of this word contain meanings which may not be at all sexual in nature. The word first came into English in the middle of the 16th century in reference to secret ceremonial rites, particularly those of the Romans and ancient Greeks, which involved singing and dancing. The licentious meaning was not added until the beginning of the 18th century. And the most recent senses (‘a riotous display’ and ‘a manifestation of extreme indulgence’), which may describe such things as an assembly of garish colors or a spectacle of destruction, appear to date from the late 19th century” explains the Merriam-Webster dictionary.
An orgy! So many meanings! So legendary, so simply beautiful, or bluntly outrageous or crude! In any case, vast amounts of nebulous ideas run through our cultural unconscious of what an orgy can be. No wonder it's on so many people's bucket list, so they can finally experience it for themselves. Wait no longer! Our three-day gluttonous workshop takes this fantasy thoroughly to heart.
We’ll let ourselves be inspired by the many facets of the orgiastic: the images of nobly lascivious and at the same time lazily lolling and grape entwined splendid bodies of the ancient world. Of the excited teenage sleepovers with games of truth or dare, pillow-fighting and dry humping getting out of hand. Of the wildly expanding webs and overlays from the world of fauna and flora - soybean sprouts branching into each other or swarms of dolphins penetrating each others breathing holes.... OOf romantic or metaphysical melting and dissolving into oceanic feelings. Of sporty-porny swinger parties. Of hippiesque Summer-of-Love merriments, falling over each other in oblivion. What happens if we simply re-enact our favorite scenarios?
In preparation we'll practice being present with ourselves and others, sharpen our perception and develop a clear awareness of our intentions and desires. We get to know each other through mindful and playful group exercises, take time to explore boundaries and also difficult feelings in order to create an atmosphere for trust and creativity. It is the basis from which we dare to experiment: in a held space that makes room for spontaneity and a lot of sensuality. Precisely because we, as workshop facilitators, give clear and tangible impulses to play with. These help to orient yourselves and go even deeper, instead of stumbling in a void of endless possibilities. So we'll guide you to play with dynamics (ever had the pleasure of a slow-motion-orgy? And how slowness elegantly brings in elements of safeness, consent and barely evasive intimacy?); invite collective breathing to transform into drifters like jellyfish in the waves - instead of always having to do and make it ourselves; or remind you of focusing your attention to your five senses: how does the interaction change when everyone concentrates only on hearing, feeling, tasting, smelling or when everyone pauses for a moment as if someone had pressed the pause button to look around in peace and see what scandalous and delicious images unfold in front of their very eyes...
Come on, everybody!

NOTES ON THE EVENT
In order to ensure a safe, mindful and conscious atmosphere as best as possible, we reserve the right to select the participants for this particular workshop. Therefore, we ask you to write in the registration form as much as possible about yourself, your interest in and experience with open, sex-friendly events and why you would like to participate in this workshop.
Those interested in this workshop should have a certain willingness to be naked. If there are any doubts or questions about this, please contact us in advance.
Saturday evening ends with the orgy and a short closing together. On Sunday we come together again for feedback, joint reflection and reflection as a conclusion for the group after the challenging shared experience. The meeting on Sunday is an essential and binding part of this event. We expect all workshop participants to come on Sunday as well.
The aims of our events are to learn together in a group and support collective processes as well as personal development. Couples and any other kinds of partnerships or constellations are welcome, but you should be aware of and open to the fact that the courses are not designed as partnership experiences and that we address each person as an individual. As an example: to include all participants equally, we usually work with random partner combinations in the exercises. Thus same, as well as differing gender combinations are likely to occur. Participants should be generally open to work with anybody and any body. Exceptions can be discussed in individual cases.
Gender identity, sexual orientation, age etc. are no criteria in the registration process and the selection of the participants.
It is required that you act with care, communication, consent and caution, and encouraged that you honour your boundaries and self-responsibilities.
Hate speech will not be tolerated. Please bring candy speech.
We reserve the right to ask participants to leave, should their behavior be harmful and we reserve the right to do that without explanations – though we will likely try to explain. Workshop fees would then be fully refunded, further claims are excluded.
We do our best to meet different needs, though our resources are limited. Contact us if in doubt.

PRICES & WHEN SOLD OUT
As a result of the corona crisis, many people - and also luhmen d'arc and the IKSK Berlin - had significant financial losses, while others were earning well and could continue to draw their salaries. We would like to give low-income earners the opportunity to continue attending our events with the Soli-Tickets. For the upcoming events, we cordially invite high earners to support the low earners, luhmen d'arc and the IKSK Berlin with a higher contribution and thank you in advance for your understanding and solidarity. We are very much looking forward to future joint courses and events.
For PEOPLE WITH PARTICULARLY LOW INCOME - students, artists etc. - there may also be the possibility of even lower prices on request.
Is the event sold out at eventfrog? Write to us! There might be a waiting list or another possibility to participate.
CANCELLATION POLICY
Cancellations are free of charge up to eight weeks before the start of the course, up to four weeks before the start of the course a cancellation fee of 20% of the course fee is due, up to two weeks before the start of the course a cancellation fee of 50% is due. Later cancellations and refunds of participant fees are not possible. However, participants can find substitute participants who will take the booked places. In case of cancellation by the organizer, the course fee will be refunded in full. Further claims are excluded.
CORONA REGULATIONS & PROCEDURES
In principle, we adhere to the latest official regulations and Corona measures and inform participants in good time before the start of the course about what is currently valid. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at any time.
It is currently impossible to predict how the Corona pandemic will develop in the coming weeks and months. A further ban on events or new, far-reaching restrictions and regulations that would make it no longer reasonable to hold the course are conceivable. In the event of a cancellation for these reasons, we would be grateful to all bookers to support us in bearing the costs that nevertheless arise, such as the ticket booking fees and any cancellation costs for the rented rooms. We would then inform you about the amount. This support would be voluntary, of course, but an important support for us.
