Rough Play 5/4 : ENROLL HERE
Come ready for Rough & Tumble play! We’ll be pulling out the wrestling mats and exploring Grabs, Grips, Take-Downs & Holds.
We’ll play with developing confidence in playing rough without holding back, how to communicate without breaking the mood, and develop strategies for after care & integration so we can keep going, rough & ready for more.
Primal Play 6/1 : ENROLL HERE
Let’s get Primal. Primal as in first, foundational, fundamental. Primal as in beyond polite conditioning. Primal as in animalistic, bestial, as in more fully human.
Join us for a journey beyond polite conditioning and into the core of primal play, where we can feel unleashed and free to express a fuller range of our human selves.
Our Primal Play Exploratorium will be a clothes-optional invitation to embody your own primal energy and express yourself in an affirming, communal group experience.
