For two days, I invite us to be earth and to be human; to use our imagination as a source of pleasure. Since we are earth, we have no choice but to be matter. As matter, we have no choice but to be bodies. And since we are bodies, we have no choice but to lie down, sit, and dance in order to be human.
As cuenterxs (storytellers), we remember the origins of self-care and the communal practices that have been devalued and even forgotten in today's systems. In a closed container, we explore questions around body and sexual shame as we encounter our bodies as territories and places where (de)coloniality takes place. We draw our own maps and explore our own landscapes. We do not interact genitally with each other, nor do we explore "self-pleasure" as what dominant Western culture knows as "masturbation," but rather we queer, expand, and open our understanding of (self-)pleasure as a space in which we remember our birthright to enjoy and be (in) bliss.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE EVENT
The aims of our events are to learn together as a group and to support joint processes as well as personal development. Couples and all other types of partnerships or constellations 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, in order to include all participants equally, we usually work with random partner combinations in the exercises. This means that there will be both the same and different gender combinations. Participants should generally be open to working with any person and any 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 be careful, communicative, consent-oriented and mindful, and we encourage you to respect your own boundaries and self-responsibility.
Hate speech will not be tolerated. Please bring "candy speech".
We reserve the right to ask participants to leave the workshop should their behavior be hurtful or too problematic, and we reserve the right to do so without explanation - although we will likely try to explain. Workshop fees would then be refunded in full. Further claims are then excluded.
