This extended play fighting workshop and free-flow time, includes:
- Stretching and warm up exercises
- Consent and boundaries practices with both verbal and non-verbal communication
- 90 minutes of facilitated play fighting
- 2-3 hours of conscious touch, dance, cuddling, free-flow play fighting (in a sex-positive environment).
All consensual interactions that adhere to these 4 core agreements are fine:
- Confidentiality: Outside of the event, please refrain from identifying anyone else who you have met there when sharing your experiences, unless you have explicit consent. You may talk about what the facilitators share and identify them.
- Sovereignty: Notice what you need to step in, and step out of engagement and interaction. Try to invite a beginner's mind, embrace discomfort and give yourself time and space to notice its impact on you. Ask for what you need and be explicit in your agreements around touch and sexuality, including safer sex practices.
- Consent: Move away from what you don't want, and towards an authentic, full body yes. Practice empathetic connection to be aware of your own boundaries and the boundaries/limits of others. Give others time and space to consider any request you make of them, and receive a 'no' with grace and gratitude. Remember you are empowered to pause or stop any interaction when you feel unsure if it is the right thing for you at the moment.
- Participation: Everything we facilitate is an invitation. The most important experience of the workshop isn't to take part in all activities, but to make the choice in the moment that best aligns with your truth, check-in with yourself and give yourself permission to change your mind, at any time.
Pricing: £59 (early bird rate £49 to all events valid until 31 July; concessions available).
About the facilitator:
Roy first discovered play fighting at a burning man regional event in Europe in 2018. After taking part in several workshops, he recognised the potential of this practice to help people become more embodied, to learn about their own boundaries and improve their non-verbal communication and empathetic listening to others. The range of expressions people create in play fighting is truly incredible and extremely imaginative. Roy’s further training in Psychotherapy, Radical Honesty, Non-Violent Communication and Wheel of Consent all serve to inform the way he constructs the practices and flow of the workshops.
