Workshop - Drama-Free intimacy with multiple partners

About

Kink can be electric, liberating, and deeply intimate – but it can also stir up confusion, miscommunication, and mismatched expectations. Especially when you’re exploring play with multiple partners, navigating polyamory, or forming connections outside traditional romantic norms, the emotional terrain can get complex. This workshop invites you to pause, reflect, and design your dynamics with greater awareness, skill, and care.

Instead of relying solely on chemistry or trial-and-error, we’ll explore how to intentionally shape kink connections that feel nourishing, aligned, and drama-free – whether you’re building a one-time scene, deepening a power exchange, or juggling layered relationships and play partnerships. This space welcomes those walking the path of ethical non-monogamy, solo poly, relationship anarchy, or anyone creating intimacy on their own terms.

Together, we’ll examine the invisible scripts we carry about love, dominance, submission, and control – and how they influence the dynamics we create. This is not about rigid rules or prescriptive roles. It’s about expanding your relational capacity, refining your consent skills, and crafting dynamics that truly reflect your values and desires.

No alcohol will be served. Phones will be off or put away for the duration to protect presence and privacy. The workshop will be held in English or Dutch, depending on the preferences of the participants.

Structure & Safety

This workshop will include structured sharing exercises in pairs, designed to help you go deeper in a grounded, private way. These pair exercises support group safety and connection, and are particularly valuable for hearing new perspectives – especially when you’re not partnered with someone you know. That said, you always choose your own comfort level: couples can stay paired together throughout if that feels right, and consent will be a foundational cue throughout the workshop. You’ll never be pushed to share beyond your boundaries.
