Intimacy with many—a luxurious abundance of bodies, glances, and touches—ecstatic loss of self—an orgy…
Anyone who has ever ventured into such a situation knows how multifaceted and unpredictable such an experience can be. If it’s not always easy with just two people, how does it work with more? What desires and needs, hopes and expectations do I bring to the table, and how do I deal with them? And what about those of the others—and all those bodies?
Together, we’ll venture into this experiment to bring a classic erotic fantasy to life—*in this version, exclusively for everyone who identifies as a woman, lesbian, non-binary, inter, trans, or agender (meaning that people with all gender organs and chromosomes are welcome!) Only cis men (those born and socialized as men who identify as men) are kindly asked to attend our other events :)
In preparation, we’ll use methods from contact improvisation, consensus-building, bodywork, nervous system regulation, and communication exercises to deepen mindfulness and presence, sharpen our awareness of ourselves and others, express boundaries, needs, and desires, and allow ourselves to breathe deeply.
A recurring theme is the question of how a shared experience—a greater whole—emerges, rather than merely a cacophony of disjointed activities. How do I read the space and contribute to the symphony? How do I become receptive and generous, allow myself to be inspired by what’s happening—and return to myself?
We learn from one orgy to the next, regulating ourselves and reflecting in between, and sharing our experiences so we can undertake another orgy with greater resources. We pick out our favorite images and see what happens when we reenact them: An ancient bacchanalia with bodies lounging elegantly, lasciviously, and lazily? Pajama party chaos—spinning bottles and pillow fights—filled with wild dry humping from our teenage years? Overgrown tangles from the world of flora and fauna? Merging with the universe? Sporty-pornographic swinging? Boozy, carefree cavorting in a hippie-style “Summer of Love” manner? Slowly drifting like a swarm in the waves of the sea—instead of always having to make it happen ourselves?
Our understanding of an orgy is broad—it can, but doesn’t have to, be explicitly sexual. There are also sound orgies (perhaps a chorus of moans?). Sensual orgies (being massaged by lots of hands at once?). BDSM orgies (a biting circle?). Cuddle orgies. Sleep orgies. Let’s see what happens and do what feels good for us.
The workshop exercises lead to a free flow; there’s space for experimentation, closeness, playfulness, and surprises. For gently glowing pleasure and deeply moving experiences, the mysterious and the courageous—and even quiet boredom, emptiness, or “leave me alone.” For the opportunity to step back, take a break, and dive back into the fray—for whatever wants to happen in this moment and with these people.
- Come alone, as a couple, or as a polycule.
- Safe sex supplies will be provided.
- We’ll agree on verbal and nonverbal cues to signal whether we want more, less, or to stop.
- There will be cozy “time-out” corners where you can be present in the room without interacting with others (where you’ll be left in peace)
- The workshop facilitators will not participate in the orgies; instead, they will facilitate the space and do their best to provide you with gloves, lube, and other supplies if needed

THE HOSTESSES
BEATE ABSALON
is a cultural theorist with a background in various somatic disciplines. In her work, she explores the ambivalence of modern sexual cultures. She has held research fellowships at various institutions for cultural studies and is pursuing a Ph.D. on practices of negotiating consensual sex. In 2024, she published her non-fiction book >> Not giving a fuck. On unenthusiastic sex and sexless desire: Overcoming social pressure and finding vibrant intimacy (Kremayr&Scheriau). In it, she argues that the pressure to have “great” sex can be confidently shaken off, while a curious and benevolent attitude toward lack of desire, shame, boredom, “dry spells,” feminist celibacy, or asexuality can open up exciting new forms of intimacy. She is currently training to become a couples and sex therapist. As a psychosocial counselor and workshop leader, she believes in the power of eroticism—which often reveals itself most clearly in moments of “failure.” Her practice promotes self-determination and invites people to engage with themselves with greater seriousness as well as more playfulness.

REBECCA FRANCES
studied languages at the University of Cambridge and now explores how the body communicates. As a coach, yoga teacher, and breath therapist, she explores how to lead a fulfilling and joyful life despite the inevitability of crises, illness, limitations, pain, and grief. She completed training in Sexological Bodywork at ISB Berlin, as well as over 600 hours of massage, breathwork, and bodywork training (David Lutt, Thai Massage Circus, Kaline Kelly, Daniel Odier, Martin Beaudoin), over 400 hours of RYT yoga teacher training (Surinder Ji, Lizzie and Judith Lasater, Rajiv Chanchani), has experience in the study of tantric massage, conscious sexual practices, and BDSM, and is an advanced student of Taoist practices. In addition, she explores philosophical and poetic approaches to the somatic. In her practical, creative, and experimental physical exercises, she draws on her intellectual background and professional interests to further investigate exactly what happens when bodies touch, and why we either want or don’t want that so much.

NOTES ON THE EVENT
Our events are about learning and exploring together as a group, fostering shared processes, and supporting personal development. Participants should generally be open to collaborating with others during the exercises, regardless of their gender, appearance, etc. Exceptions can always be discussed, however, as we aim to create a safer and more courageous space where all participants feel as included as possible, but not entitled. A space where we treat one another with generosity, but do not pander. A space where preconceptions are reexamined and deconstructed, while at the same time we honor our gut feelings.
Gender identity, sexual or romantic orientation, sexual preferences, age, or membership in marginalized groups such as BBIPoC, those with a migration background, refugees, LGBTQIA+, people with disabilities, etc., are not criteria for registration or participant selection.
We do our best to accommodate different needs, but our resources are limited. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us!
While the IKSK workshop room is wheelchair accessible, the showers and restrooms in the room are only accessible via a few steps. However, the outdoor area of the Holzmarkt has appropriate facilities.
We expect everyone to treat one another with care, communicating their needs, interacting with mutual respect, and keeping shared experiences confidential. We ask that you refrain from making assumptions and instead ask questions respectfully rather than making assumptions about other participants’ preferences.
We encourage everyone to respect not only the boundaries of others but also their own. Participation in the course content is at your own risk.
The workshop will be conducted in English and German—depending on the participants’ needs, we will translate exercises and organize groups so that everyone can communicate in the language they are able or willing to speak.
You must attend the workshop sober.
Hate speech will not be tolerated.
We reserve the right to exclude participants whose behavior is offensive or problematic from the workshop without providing a reason—although we will likely try to explain our decision. Workshop fees will then be refunded in full. No further claims will be accepted.
CANCELLATION POLICY
Cancellations are free of charge up to eight weeks before the course begins; a cancellation fee of 20% of the course fee applies up to four weeks before the course begins, and a cancellation fee of 50% applies up to two weeks before the course begins. Later cancellations and refunds of course fees are not possible. However, participants may find replacement participants to take their reserved spots. There are no special provisions for non-attendance due to illness. We refer you to ticket insurance options—just Google “ticket insurance,” “Ergo,” “Hanse-Merkur,” or similar terms. In general, we strive to find accommodating solutions in such cases. Please contact us via a personal message if necessary. In the event of cancellation by the organizers, the full course fee will be refunded. Further claims are excluded.
