PENETRATION - AND BEYOND. A workshop to question, feel and rethink


  • Shiatsu School 26 Lübbener Straße Berlin, BE, 10997 Berlin, Germany (map)

Animation: Fenja Elisa


A workshop for the penetrated of all genders* 

Penetrate and receive? Ramming or resting? Plugging + hugging?

Penetration! A controversial practice... It's considered THE sexual act, the final base, the great fusion, miracle of nature - because conception and all that.
For others it's the ultimate turn-off. Too hetero, too martial and leading us down the wrong path (#MythosVaginalOrgasm) -> Oh! The word vagina came up! But wait, if penetration means "penis in vagina", then we're forgetting the ocean of possibilities to try out with relish what and who else gives pleasure in which orifices...

What about: Penetrating looks and words... Sliding your finger rapturously between your toes...

What about the counterpart of penetration? If penetration is active, is the other part just the passively penetrated part? Not at all! There is active embracing, holding, engulfing, circling, bagging,... Put your fist around your thumb - who is the more powerful part here? 

We also want to explore the supposed opposite side - and find language for it, because it's missing in everyday life (or how do you say it in dirty talk? "I'm really bagging you, baby!"🔥).

WHATARE WE GOING TO DO?


Without giving everything away, here are a few glimpses of what you can imagine -- all in an atmosphere that invites both humor and serious interest, deceleration and playfulness - always with crystal-clear guidance.

All practices are based on the principle of consensus. There will be exercises without touching and with. With clothes and without. Genitals and toys can also be used, but not necessarily. Sometimes it will deliberately not be about them, but about the whole body and the whole soul 💓 Always just as it suits you and for you **

A few examples:

  • Inspired by methods of artistic improvisation, we try to enter the space "penetratively" - what posture does our body adopt, how does the atmosphere in the room change, how do we feel: potent, phallic, penetrating,...?

  • with bodywork we explore penetrative and embracing togetherness beyond genitals and gender. Every body has tons of "holes & poles"! We want to puzzle and perceive with bodies: knocking and entering, slipping in or being pulled in, entwining or rubbing, closing and squeezing...?

  • We demonstrate in massage units, for example the mouth massage, how body openings can be explored like a cave exploration... The massage skills can then be tried out

  • In sharing circles, we talk about our experiences, surprises or preferences with the topic. The workshop leader shares input from sexual theory about the importance of penetration

  • In small labs or play spaces, you can explore what drives you. Would you like to share your hip-swinging skills with others? Offer genital meditation? Have a conversation about queer penetration? We support you as best we can in pursuing your interests.


In short: it's getting deep.

NOTES ON THE EVENT

The aims of our events are to learn together as a group and support shared 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 marginalized groups such as BBIPoC, migrants, refugees, LGBTQIA*, people with disabilities etc. are not criteria when registering and selecting participants.

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.
We do our best to accommodate different needs, but our resources are limited. If in doubt, please contact us.
