Surrendering into loving hands. Into their warm, soothing touch. Broad flowing strokes over and under your whole body. Like being embraced by the ocean’s swirling waves and its silent depths. Feeling grounded. Deeply touched. And then: Smack! The cheeky sensation of a hand spanking a muscle. Its vibrations radiating in your bones. The tingling afterwards. Feeling vitalized. The mind gets carried away by this mingling of sensations.
When two worlds meet… Lomi-inspired sensual massage and the world of kinky BDSM at first seem to be full of contrasts. Kink involves consensually inducing pain and consciously exploring qualities of submission and dominance. It involves fiery aspects of desire and eroticism, but can as well be meditative, relaxing or playful fun. On the other hand the massage we teach is based on techniques we gratefully learned when being initiated as Lomi Lomi teachers by traditional practitioners in Hawaii. This full body healing ritual is a holistic approach to body, mind and soul, that is clearly distinguished from sexual practices. So when we will get back to its basic elements of touch and fuse it with our creative, caring and passionate approach to kink, it will become something else. A practice of its own that can not be called Lomi Lomi any more. We also respect Lomi Lomi as something else. Still, our characters and lifes are inspired deeply by both worlds.
KINKY LOMI is the celebration of this entanglement and its profound principle: to listen deeply to the body with empathy and respect in order to support it to go on a unique inner journey. To discover other aspects of oneself, to find new perspectives and maybe even experience the blessing of positive transformation.
A EDGY CONNECTION...
Traditional Hawaiian Lomi Lomi is a ritual that dates back more than 5,000 years and we want to preserve it as such.
We are convinced that the qualities of touch and connection in the original Lomi Lomi massage are so powerful that they retain their healing effects in different settings.With humble respect we have taken the liberty of incorporating these caring qualities into our unique new format. For this we considerately leave all the ancient spiritual elements of the original Lomi Lomi massage aside in order to preserve them for Lomi Lomi’s pure form.We consider it a great challenge to prove ourselves worthy of our teacher’s trust and at the same time to follow our own integrity and creative impulses.
What is KINK?
Kink, to us, means to experiment with desire. To try out new things. To dare getting in touch with one’s own shadows. To learn about clear communication and consent.A space that opens to the playfulness and discovery of one’s own sexuality. Intensity invites clarity, control can turn into surrender, fear dissolves into trust, new spaces of experience open up.
What do we teach?
In this workshop we will give an introduction to sensual massage inspired by Lomi Lomi. We will explore how it can be transformed in a loving form of power play, how to gradually introduce domination into the massage practice, how to develop empathy and non-verbal communication, how to negotiate consent and create a safe container. We will playfully integrate kink in a range of possibilities of soft domination practices, including impact play (spanking), hair pulling, body immobilization, teasing and denial.
Our approach is playful, creative and intuitive on the basis of trust and consent. Our rich experience gives you impulses on how you can find a YES in yourself with joy and curiosity to your power, intimacy and devotion.
You will new tools. But most of all, you will learn to trust yourself in leading and/or surrendering. You will learn to build a dynamic arc of tension for the intensity of a session, to read body language and to follow the lustful desire of the receiving person.
During these 3 days we see ourselves as travel companions for you. We will take you on an adventure, an encounter with yourself.
Play with us and discover yourself anew! At the end we will surprise ourselves.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE EVENT
The goals of our events are collaborative learning within the group, supporting shared processes, and personal development. Couples and all other types of partnerships or group dynamics are welcome, but you should be aware and open to the fact that the courses are not designed as partnership experiences and that we address each person as an individual. For example: To involve all participants equally, we usually work with random partner combinations during the exercises. This means that both same-sex and opposite-sex combinations will occur. Participants should generally be open to working with every person and every body. Exceptions can be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
Gender identity, sexual orientation, age or membership of often marginalized groups such as BBIPoC, migrants, refugees, LGBTQIA*, disabled people, etc. are not criteria when registering and selecting participants. This means that, in principle, everyone is equally welcome and we endeavor to do justice to the respective constellation and different needs, but our resources are limited. If you have any questions in this regard, please contact us.
We expect you to act with care, be communicative, prioritize consent, and be mindful, and we encourage you to respect your own boundaries and take personal responsibility.
Hate speech will not be tolerated. Please bring "Candy Speech."
We reserve the right to ask participants to leave the workshop if their behavior is hurtful or problematic, and we reserve the right to do so without explanation—though we will likely try to explain. Workshop fees would then be refunded in full. Any further claims are excluded.
