𝑻𝒐𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒖𝒂𝒈𝒆 — and most of us were only ever taught a handful of words. 🌿

During this hot, playful evening, you and your partner will 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒗𝒐𝒄𝒂𝒃𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒓𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒐𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒓𝒐𝒍𝒆 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒚. We'll begin with simple yet powerful embodied ways of meeting another body: caresses, nails, bites and nibbles, light hair pulling, grabbing, kissing, light spanking, pushing and pulling, wrestling and pinning, flirting and teasing — and more.

𝑬𝒂𝒄𝒉 𝒔𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒂 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒐𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒔. You'll practice "𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈" to your lover through combinations of sensation and role, and "𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈" their responses through 𝒃𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉, 𝒎𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕, 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒐𝒖𝒄𝒉. As your fluency grows, so does the ease — the capacity to listen to a body, follow where it wants to go, and leave your partner feeling 𝒎𝒆𝒕, 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒅, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆.

Then the lights shift, and 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒏 𝒆𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒈𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 🌙

As the class closes, the space opens into 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑬𝒏𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕 — a space to explore what you just learned, where 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒏𝒗𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒉𝒊𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈. Each realm has its own space. Step onto one and 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒕𝒔 𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆; move to another whenever you feel the call to 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒆𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒇𝒕:

🐺 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑨𝒏𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒍 𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒎 — primal, instinctual, wordless. Sniffing, growling, wrestling, claiming.

👑 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑮𝒐𝒅*𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒎 — where power is offered and received. Dominance and surrender, command and devotion.

🌸 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑵𝒚𝒎𝒑𝒉 𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒎 — touch given for another's pleasure. The art of attending, adoring, and serving.

✨ 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑭𝒂𝒊𝒓𝒚 𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒎 — mischief, laughter, and lightness. Play for the sheer delight of it.

🍇 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒂𝒕𝒚𝒓 𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒎 — touch taken for your own pleasure, by invitation. The art of asking for exactly what you want — and letting yourself receive it.

And then the real magic begins — 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓. Once you've taken on your creature and played in your lair, wander off into the forest to meet beings from other realms. You won't know who you're meeting until you 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒕𝒐𝒖𝒄𝒉 — is this a satyr hungry for their own pleasure, a nymph devoted to yours, a god*dess waiting to be worshipped? Every meeting becomes a dance of listening, guessing, and responding, as the language you learned in class turns into 𝒂 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆.

𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕 & 𝑺𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒊𝒈𝒏𝒕𝒚 — Every skill, every role, and every realm lives inside a container of consent. You'll practice 𝒐𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈, 𝒂𝒔𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒆𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 — and saying 𝒚𝒆𝒔, 𝒏𝒐, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒚𝒆𝒕 — with clarity, so every encounter can be as pleasurable as it is powerfully transformative. 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚, 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒊𝒈𝒏𝒕𝒚, 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔.

𝑾𝒉𝒐 — Singles and couples are both welcome. Friends coming together with the desire to practice these skills with one another are warmly invited too.

𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 / 𝒘𝒆𝒂𝒓 — Comfortable clothes that allow access to body and skin. Optionally, a belt or sarong or scarf for one of the exercises — and anything that helps you embody creatures of the forest: ears, horns, wings, crown, tail. 🦌

𝑾𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉 𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 — and 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒌𝒆𝒆𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒔? 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒐𝒖𝒕. 🌿

🧚 Gratitude and Acknowledgments about THE EROTIC PLAYGROUND & Philippe’s events

"What an amazing night!!! I love feeling soo in my element, so safe and so turned on all at once. Thanks everyone for being so luscious and real, and big gratitude to Philippe and the whole crew who made it happen!” ~ Leslie

“Wow, I am still gently floating back down to this dimension of consciousness. Wow wow wow. [...] I felt nervous about going to a space where I didn't know a ton of people, and feeling the usual apprehensiveness of how I'll be received as a trans woman in a new, cis-leaning community. from the opening ritual onwards, I've never felt more at home, more myself, more easefully confident than on that night.” ~Jem

"I echo so many of the sentiments that have been shared in gratitude to you and the hosts, and also this: the communication that you offered before, during, and after the event was beyond touching to me. [...] I noticed from our very first contact the care and precision that you use in all of your words. ~Alise

🧚 What to Wear

We strongly suggest that you dress for the occasion. In our experience, those who do tend to have more fun and an easier time connecting with others. Here are some suggestions for what to wear:

• Outfits that are comfortable and make you want to move and play in
• Outfits that will have people say “oooooh, I love your outfit!”
• Outfits that offer easy access to skin or is easily removed

We discourage outfits that shed like feather boas, and outfits that get caught on other people like wings and headdresses.

🧚 What to Bring

🧚 Food

We suggest you arrive already fed. We will also be serving healthy, delicious snacks, and coffee/tea all night to keep you energized. Feel free to bring your own favorite snacks, drinks, and food if you need something in particular.

🧚 What is The Erotic Playground?

The Erotic Playground is a themed erotic learning space where we begin the night with a workshop aligned with the evening’s theme. This opening segment offers tools, insights, and inspiration to support participants in exploring the nuances of erotic play.

After the workshop, there is plenty of time for unstructured play—an invitation to deepen into what was just learned or follow your own thread of curiosity. It’s a playground for intimacy, connection, sensuality, and, for some events, sexuality—all within a container of openness, safety, and authentic self-expression.

Missteps and accidents are a normal part of the learning. This is a space where honest mistakes are welcome—as long as we remain present and available for aftercare, debriefs and repair conversations.
