An introduction to Conscious Kink By Carmo Ge Pereira and Calu Lema The workshop will be delivered in English and Portuguese Introduction to Conscious Kink is a body positive, consent based, all gender friendly workshop, bringing together the transformative powers of presence, intention and awareness into a space of exploration and play. Kink practices can be part of a self-research journey into fetishes, kinks and BDSM with the intention to have ecstatic experiences, navigate landscapes of sensations, induce cathartic releases, connect with others through non-sexual intimacy, process feelings, strengthen our communication skills, create personal rituals, explore erotic playfulness, witness ourselves in roles of power, surrender to vulnerability, and much more. Kink practices are not limited to the realms of sexual exchanges; these can be explored by everyone when consent and boundaries have been negotiated. Our workshop includes: Brief history of BDSM Physical, emotional and sexual safety Exploring communication, consent & boundaries Creating and holding space Power dynamics (giving and receiving) Sensory play Breathe play Impact play Bondage After care During the workshop all structures are optional and participants will be encouraged to prioritise themselves throughout. Cost €60 / €70 / €80 (sliding scale based on trust). There's a discount if joining the Naked Movement day workshop that's taking place on Saturday. €100 for participating in both workshops To book contact Calu on liberatingmovement@gmail.com About us Calu is a gender fierce feminist of Latin American blood passionate about decolonising narratives, deconstructing identities and promoting self-love.
