The workshop offers an introduction to flogging and other forms of impact play, looking at techniques and issues of safety, as well as the physical and emotional processes of givers and receivers, and the relationship between pain and pleasure.
We sharpen our perception of the dynamic relationships that flogging and impact play create between body and mind and between the participants. Body awareness and spatial perception, movement and rhythm, impulse and resonance, breathing and presence - we look at the game from multiple aspects and thus create the possibility to design a flogging session as a dance or meditative ritual beyond just hitting.
How do different floggers and ways of hitting feel? What are my intentions in the game and how can I make them happen? What do I feel when I hit someone or let someone hit me? What supports communication in the game? How can I read my partner's reactions in a mindful and attentive way and integrate them into the game?
We approach these and other questions in exercises, demonstrations and practical sessions that offer plenty of space for individual experiences, for joint research, play, relaxation and pleasure.

FURTHER INFORMATION
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.
