Body Chemistry in BDSM & Energy Exchange Basics

(CW: event concept)

Key Message: Fun without drugs takes time, effort, and connection. Our minds and bodies can act as sophisticated “drug dispensers,” creating intense, natural sensations—but we need to learn how to tune and dose them. This process works best when we connect with others in a mindful, intentional way.

Preparation: To help participants get the most out of the evening, we suggest watching a pre-event video that introduces the core concepts. This video will set the tone and prepare participants for the experience ahead.

Evening Structure:

Consent & Safety Workshop (Opening Session)

• Duration: 45-50 minutes
• Location: Tantra Room

This foundational session equips participants with the tools for the night, ensuring they can navigate the evening safely, respectfully, and confidently. At this point, tantra is used as an umbrella term to describe Tantrism, a range of traditions that emphasize esoteric practices and rituals aimed at rapid spiritual awakening. While Tantrism has deep spiritual and cultural roots that originated in Hinduism and Buddhism, its core principles are universal and beneficial for humanity. By integrating this knowledge into modern explorations of intimacy and sensory experiences, we honor its essence and make it accessible to all who seek deeper understanding and connection between their body and mind. 

Core Concepts Covered:

1. Safe Space Balance Rules: Creating and maintaining a safe, respectful environment.
2. “Thank You for Your No” Practice: Honoring boundaries and the importance of saying “no” and respecting it.
3. Connection Points: Exploring eye contact, breath, palms, feet, and the “spine to spine” practice for deeper connection.
4. Preparing for a Tantric Experience: How to attune your body and mind for heightened sensory experiences.
5. Why Connecting with Multiple People is Important: Building a balanced energy exchange.
6. Breath Work & Body Scan Practice: Techniques for deepening awareness.
7. Managing Overstimulation & Discomfort: Identifying limits and tools for maintaining balance.

Group Coordination:
Since some attendees may arrive late, those who complete the workshop will wear visible markers and assume the role of guides throughout the night. These guides will help others, answer questions, and ensure the flow of activities. To access areas like the Tantra Room, participants must be instructed by one of these trained guides.

Pain Play Essentials – Workshop & Warm-Up Show

• Duration: 35-40 minutes
• Format: Live demonstration with real-time explanations, no music to ensure focus on breath, sounds, and physical responses.

In this session, we’ll explore the art of impact play, specifically focusing on the buttocks area.

Key Topics:

1. The Appeal of Pain Play: Why do we enjoy it? How can the body be trained to embrace pain?
2. Safety & Techniques: Important techniques for effective, enjoyable impact play, and how to ensure both parties feel comfortable and respected.
3. Aftercare & Physiological Considerations: Managing the aftermath of pain play and ensuring the wellbeing of all participants.

Format: Action will be mixed with explanation, ensuring clarity on both psychological and physical aspects of pain play. Participants can ask questions during the demonstration, making this interactive and informative.

After the workshops, guests are free to explore on their own. Each workshop area will/must have a dedicated guide to help attendees if they need further support or clarification.
