Sensual Playground

The playground is the real classroom.

Sure, exchanging facts through language is occasionally helpful, but learning is far deeper and more fun when it is primarily done while participating, enjoying, laughing and playing.

This is how you will learn more about things like how to feel the delicious pull of your authentic desires, how to clearly feel and express your yes’s and no’s, how to fully experience the exquisite world of your senses, how to feel safe in your body while exploring new things— and all of this will be done from a deeply embodied place, rather than from verbal and heady constructs.

Furthermore, society has taught us that our need for touch and intimacy mostly only exist in the context of romantic partnership, which leaves a lot of people simultaneously starved and overburdened. This workshop is about expanding the palette of how our needs get met, starting with connection to self, and then exploring the rich and sensuous garden of delights that can be found in playful platonic intimacy with others.

This workshop is a perfect place to help getting a better understanding of your needs and boundaries when it come to physical touch and how to do it in a safe container first with yourself then with friends and strangers.

What you’ll get out of this:

– greater comfort giving and receiving touch

– practice feeling and expressing your Yes’s and No’s

– deepening your intimacy to self before opening to others – opening your connection to your own sensory experience

– playful engagement with other through breath, touch and cuddles.

This workshop is for anyone, couples or singles, and all genders are welcome.

Ben Raya and Larinda Michelle will be taking you through a series of breath, connection and playful exercises to get you in your body.
