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 even 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 the experiment of bringing a classic erotic fantasy to life—*in this version, exclusively for everyone who identifies as a woman, lesbian, nonbinary, inter, trans, or agender (meaning that people with all types of sex organs and chromosomes are welcome!) Only cis men (those born and socialized as men who identify as men) are 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 insights 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? Proliferating tangles from the world of flora and fauna? Merging with the universe? Sporty, pornographic swinging? Boozy, raucous revelry in the hippie “Summer of Love” style? Slowly drifting like a swarm in the waves of the sea—instead of always having to take the initiative 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 whatever feels good for us.
The workshop exercises lead to a free-flowing experience, with space for experimentation, closeness, playfulness, and surprises. For gently glowing pleasure and deeply moving experiences, the mysterious and the courageous—as well as 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 hold 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 writing her dissertation on the practices of negotiating consensual sex. In 2024, she published her non-fiction book >> Not giving a fuck. On unenthusiastic sex and sexless pleasure: 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 compassionate 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
She 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 has completed training in Sexological Bodywork at the 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 studying 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 that so much or don’t want it at all.

NOTES ON THE EVENT
Our events focus on learning and exploring together as a group, fostering collaborative processes and personal development. Participants should generally be open to working with other participants during the exercises, regardless of their gender, appearance, etc. However, exceptions can always be discussed, 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 without pandering. A space where preconceptions are reexamined and deconstructed, while at the same time honoring our gut feelings.
Gender identity, sexual or romantic orientation, sexual preferences, age, or membership in marginalized groups such as BBIPoC, those with a migrant 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!
We expect everyone to treat one another with care—by communicating their needs, interacting with mutual respect, and keeping shared experiences confidential. We ask that you set aside any preconceptions and, instead of making assumptions about other participants’ preferences, ask questions respectfully.
We support and encourage participants to respect not only the boundaries of others but also their own. Participation in the course content is at the participant's 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 engage in discussion in the language they are able or willing to speak.
Participants must be sober when attending the workshop.
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.

There are no special provisions for non-attendance due to illness. We recommend looking into ticket insurance options—try Googling “ticket insurance,” “Ergo,” “Hanse-Merkur,” or similar terms. In general, we strive to find reasonable solutions in such cases. Please contact us via private message if necessary. If the event is canceled by the organizers, the full course fee will be refunded. No further claims are permitted.
