“A faerie gathering can become a flow of nature if the heart is able to lead the way. A group comes together for a certain number of days to create a container in which it is safe to be open up, be vulnerable, be expressive, erotic, playful, and even occasionally OTT – you will still be loved, you will not be shamed.”
by Shokti – A new stage in the meaning of Gay Liberation.

Our studio close to Herrmannplatz
Categories
Hosted by: Nymph (he/she) & Babe (they/he)
Description:
In this workshop, we will introduce some basic exercises from our improvisation method for sex and sensuality, “Layers of Intimacy”.
We will invite you to dive into your perception of your impulses, the smallest building blocks for improvisation: what is alive in you right now and how does it express in potential action and desires? How can you lower your filters to act fast enough, in a safer environment? What changes if you are being witnessed and interact with others?
In the larger method, we create exercises to focus on different skills that are used to co-create meaningful, pleasurable and interesting sexy play. Babe and Nymph are working on it since some years. At this stage of the practice, you don’t need to bring anything else but your openness to engage, listen to your body and share your insights.
Location:
Dance Studio
What to bring:
Comfortable clothes, the openness to work both analytically and physically on their perception

Description:
This is a call to gather in a heart circle for all Faeries of Color—who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color).
There’s a quiet magic in sharing space, time, and presence with those who carry similar lived experiences. A space where understanding doesn’t require explanation, where we’re free from the weight of representing entire communities. In that shared serenity, we find not just safety, but the gentle affirmation that our presence is enough.

Places

Categories
Hosted by: TenderSlut (he/him/any) & Steffi (any)
Description:
We are inviting to explore yourself and each other through tender cuddle explorations. After a little meditation / grounding work we will use a focus mixture of mindfulness, tenderness and consent. Allowing you to get into a deeper consciousness about your needs and limitations for being physically in contact. Doing so, we will use breathing meditation to foster self awareness and self care to enjoy the connection and healing effects of a CuddlePuddle.
Nudity is welcomed but from my personal experience many participants feel more comfortable wearing one layer of comfortable clothes (e.g. t-Shirt and shorts) – that’s up to you. As a pro tipp: Less perfume / deodorant and just being freshly showered will give you the best possible smell that you can bring into this group experience.
