💜 Strip-trees & Leef-dance: a sensual outdoor Art-of-Teasing workshop

Sunday, 25th of June 2023 (unfortunately not wheelchair friendly)

PLÄNTERWALD, 15:00 - 17:00

Hosted by Kaya and Kalil

 

Join us for an immersive outdoor workshop that celebrates the intersection of queerness, ecosensuality, and body empowerment. Our workshop offers a safe and supportive space where participants can explore their sensuality, express their authentic selves, and connect with nature. Led by experienced facilitators, this workshop blends elements of strip-tease and lap dance techniques with a focus on pleasure and body positivity, while exploring new ways of engaging with our bodies and connect with our natural surroundings.

Note: No prior experience in dance or performance is necessary.

We know it’s (finally) Summer but bring a couple of extra layers to strip down!

Due to the instability of the outdoor ground, this workshop is unfortunately not accessible to wheelchair users. We do believe that lapdance/striptease is definitely accessible to all bodies as there are no limits to creativity, that’s why we are looking forward to holding this workshop in a more suitable set-up next time.

Hosted by Deborah and EeezZi

 

Boundary Boss! A consent workshop.
Struggling with intimacy? Expressing needs while respecting boundaries? Train your mind, but what about those gut feelings? How do we listen to our body's wisdom?
Learn giving, receiving, and boundaries—honoring others' while understanding our own. Strengthen less-practiced areas and uncover conditioned tendencies. Welcome to BOUNDARY GYM, where we flex those boundary muscles! Boundaries aren't just physical, but emotional, psychological, and spiritual. Self-awareness empowers us to communicate needs, express desires, and set limits. Choosing what we want is powerful and self-loving.
Our nervous system is key to consent. Feeling safe in our bodies is vital for making choices and agreements. Safety brings ease; feeling unsafe triggers stress. Understand our nervous system, sensations, and different states to create safety and choice. In this safety, we engage with others and establish clear agreements.
Relational learning space. Influenced by social justice and intersectional feminism. Slow down, feel situations in our bodies, focus on ourselves, and support each other. Learn tools aligned with our well-being, authenticity, goals, and values. Deepen kindness, respect, and empathy among us.space with each other.

💕🌿Dry Humping or the art of seducing (with) your pelvis🌿💕

Monday, July 24th (unfortunately not wheelchair friendly due to the instable forest ground, no other pre- knowledge necessary)

PLÄNTERWALD, 18:00 - 21:00

Hosted by Marin and Kuem

​

Dry humping is the most primal form of sexual engagement, often laden with shame from our childhood experiences, frowned upon as a ridiculous, unripe sexuality. We want to reclaim this very sexy and sensual way of getting all the feelings into our genitals, pelvis and body. What better way to do this in nature with a bunch of queers? 

🌳🐒🦊🌿🦖🐰🐸

You will be guided to get in touch with yourself, the surroundings and if you wish, your fellow creatures.. let the humping begin! A playful, sensual and respectful approach is key to our shared experience.

 

Bring something to drink, a light (phone), a light blanket or pillow and natural mosquito repellent. 

 

🌈🌴🌿☘️🌴Let`s have some fun! 🌈🌴🌿☘️

🍀The Core Erotic Theme🌱
Friday, August 11th (Unfortunately not wheelchair accessible)

PLÄNTERWALD, 17:00-20:00

Hosted by Ayo & Andi

We are getting NERDY AND PLAYFUL about our eroticism and a deep dive into turn-ons 💦 The Core Erotic Theme is a concept developed by sexologist Jack Morin. According to his findings, core erotic themes influence our sexual/intimate life. They are intelligent, subconscious responses to the emotional climate we encountered in our formative years.

❤️‍🔥 In this workshop we will uncover 4 corner stones of eroticism, through play, connection and communication. This will help you to identify one or more of your Core Erotic Themes.

💋 When we open up to look at our subconscious desires, we can begin to play with more confidence and curiosity  and experience sexuality from a different perspective.

🌱 Bring a blanket, mosquito repellant, water bottle, your desired lunch snack and erotic curiosity.

💚 Unfortunately this workshop will not be wheelchair accessible. Write us an email with any questions regarding personal needs or accessibility.

🍀🐿️Performance🌱🦎🦜
Friday, August 11th (Unfortunately not wheelchair accessible)

PLÄNTERWALD, 20:30-21:30

Hosted by Hugo & Jakob
 

💚 before queers cruised in the bushes, other species did it too: from birds-of-paradise mating dance spectacles to honey bees detaching each other's genitals in mid-flight; from trunkmasturbation of elephants to snake-orgies to mutual-impregnation of snails; from face-toface copulation of bonobos to devouring practices of praying mantises to monogamous mating of cranes.

the video-ritual “becoming another species” (& cruising like one) is part of the artistic research-project “rituals for the anthropocene” - a series of 12 video-rituals performed by hugo x tibiriçá, in collaboration with jakob klaffs, on how to survive in a human-dominated planet. it premieres exclusively as part of queer cruising ignite! 2023, with the invitation for all queers to take a moment to let go off the idea of being a human, become another species & explore novelty cruising practices in the bushes of plänterwald just as other species do it.

👾Drama Lama👹

Saturday, August 12th (Unfortunately not wheelchair friendly)

PLÄNTERWALD, 14:00-17:00

Hosted by Axel & Ayo

🐸 A playful and experimental workshop about attachment theory for queer people in all kinds of relationships.
How does it feel when the Drama Lama wakes up and needs attention?
How can we stay connected to a sense of trust and safety in our relationships, while also exploring the world outside of them?  What will Drama Lama need from you to stay connected to yourself?
And what does it mean to expand our sense of attachment to groups, communities, cultures and the natural world around us?
 

🌾 Through embodiment we will explore the mechanics of letting in, letting go and how to find your sweet spot of distance and/or closeness - with yourself and with those you intent to love a life time and those you love for a short moment.
 

🐝 Through discussion, movements and touch, we get curious about queerness and how different we all are in the dance of love, intimacy, safety, autonomy and sense of freedom.
 

🐍 Bring your blanket, water bottle, snack box, mosquito repellant and your honest heart,  ready to lean in and learn in a different way.
 

🐛 Write us an email if you have questions or some personal needs for participation. We are here to support you.

🧚🐝Genderfluid Cruising - growing toward / growing away🧜🪲
Saturday, August 12th (Unfortunately not wheelchair friendly)

PLÄNTERWALD, 18:00-21:00

Hosted by Em & Hugo

what can we learn from nature about attraction & aversion?
is our attraction natural?
are human-made constructs—like racism, classism, ableism, cis-heteronormativity, conventional beauty standards—natural?

what happens when we temporarily suspend our attraction patterns? when we allow ourselves to interact with people we are not immediately drawn to?
what happens when we experiment with prioritizing how others smell or sound, how they feel to the touch or what aura they omit?
could this help in dreaming up more diverse collective futures?

come practice with us: we'll try and stay at the edges of our comfort zones, while also trying to stay within our windows of feeling safe-enough.
