TANTRA IN MOTION
This workshop brings movement to classical tantric massage. We demonstrate and practice how sensual tension can be built through various movement elements. Challenging stretches and powerful embraces, dynamic position changes, and the skillful use of gravity transform the massage into a horizontal dance.

ANNA NATT: playSPACE – BEYOND GENDER
Ladies, gentlemen, and those in between, we invite you to join us in our viscous lair, where we will interact at a snail’s pace, spiraling around one another in interconnected whirls of humano-gastropod revelry. Enter the realm of Cornu Aspersum, let us shoot you with our love darts...then plunge into the depths of the gelatinous flesh and gorge yourself on boundless sensory journeys, engage in olfactory discourse, gustatory alliance, and tactile bacchanalia.
ANNA NATT: PLAYING WITH GENDER
In this workshop, we will explore concepts related to gender, drawing inspiration from philosophy, pop culture, performance research, kink play, and our own lived experiences as gendered human beings. Intricate choreographies of “femininity” or “masculinity” often emerge in our interactions and relationships with others. These movements, behaviors, and gestures—which we often don’t recall being taught or explicitly choosing—can seem so deeply ingrained in…

ON FLOGGING & OTHER IMPACT PLAY
This workshop offers an introduction to flogging and other forms of impact play, in which we explore not only techniques and safety considerations but also the physical and emotional processes experienced by both the giver and the receiver, as well as the relationship between pain and pleasure. We sharpen our awareness of the dynamic connections that flogging and impact play create between body and mind and among the participants. Body awareness and spatial perception, movement and rhythm, impulse and resonance, breathing and presence—we examine the play from diverse perspectives, thereby creating the opportunity to shape a flogging session into a dance-like or meditative ritual that goes beyond mere striking.
A WAX MEDITATION
Calm and vibration, silence and sound, coolness and heat… We discover the art of working with candle wax as a meditative experience, both in giving and in receiving. We begin by attuning our bodies and minds, heightening our awareness, and opening ourselves up to the experience. Finally, we create a ritual together, taking plenty of time for this intense experience—with plenty of calm and plenty of wax!
