About the event
Part workshop, part play party - A Playshop!
This Halloween, we’re following Persephone beneath the earth, leaving behind the familiar, descending into the dark, and discovering what waits there.
Not the innocent maiden.
Not the good girl.
Not the version of you that stays safe and small.
Step into your Queendom, bitch!
Together we’ll journey through the archetype narrative of the Queen of the Underworld of ancient Greece.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Femme Connection: connect with others through presence, play, and shared experiences.
Embodied Exploration: guided exercises to deepen your understanding and relationship with your own power.
Femme Power & Shadow: explore celebrated and suppressed aspects of femininity.
Kink Archetypes: guided exploration of power, desire, and submission.
Kink Toys & Props: experiment with kinky tools and props.
Creative Practices: use movement, art, and symbolism to go deeper.

*Please note this workshop is not for cis men, however the workshop is followed by an all gender Temple Night.
The Playshop can be treated as a standalone event but for those wanting to go deeper, the Temple Night offers a chance to embody what you've explored in the day, moving from archetype into expression. The two events compliment each other beautifully.
