TOO HOT TO HANDLE – Lumen d’Arc at Touch & Play Festival Germany
Stranded on a lonely island, a group of horny people are forbidden from making out and thus gain insight into the intriguing workings of desire. Not only do they miraculously become even more aroused, but they are also confronted with their subconscious patterns. Inspired by the infamous Netflix show of the same title, this intensive workshop will thoughtfully, playfully, and with a touch of nerdiness explore its arousing balancing acts between: a) teasing with denied fulfillment, b) doing what one shouldn’t be doing, and c) overcoming what was previously ambiguous.
QUEER BONDAGE JAM ZURICH – with a Newbie Intro
Bondage games all too often take on heteronormative forms—which is fine, but we want to explore how we can get creative and experience something completely different for a change. Queering—as a verb—represents the joy of a whole spectrum of: questioning, refreshing, making visible, playing, unsettling, celebrating, experimenting, fluidifying, encouraging, expanding, inventing, showing solidarity, mixing, standing by oneself, appropriating, becoming, transforming... At the QUEER BONDAGE JAMS, we therefore want to give creativity more space in general by…

FILIPPA FRICK: HAPTOLOGY - EXPLORATIONS OF TOUCH, INTENTION & INNER ATTITUDE
Can you feel me? Can you sense me? – The tactile and haptic sensibility of our bodies keeps us in a tangible connection with our surroundings—and with ourselves—throughout our lives and without interruption. Touch is essential, vital, and fundamental to who we are and what we are, and to how we encounter the world and other beings within it. Yet as central as it is to our identity and our coexistence with other people, in our everyday consciousness it usually appears more as a necessity—to achieve a goal, fulfill a formality, or bring about a result.

TANTRA – WITH A PINCH OF SALT – RETREAT IN SPAIN
What we call “tantric massage” in the modern West deserves to be dusted off and decluttered so it can shine with fresh brilliance. Because we want those luxuriously long, deep, sensually oily, warm caresses and the orgasmic sensations throughout the entire body—without the simplistic talk of male and female “energies.” We want to bathe in radically tender joy, to be touched with full presence in a held space…
