You know that beneath your skin there exists a ravenous and ancient animal awareness. Sure, from 9 - 5 us humans are trained to use sophisticated vocabulary and wear work clothes… but every so often, that primal instinct flares up. Perhaps the scent of a potential mate makes you want to howl? Want to find a pack to run naked through the woods with? Or perhaps you salivate at the idea of hunting your target down and having your feral way with them?

In this workshop, we’ll discuss ways to shed our human selves and unleash the beasts that exist within all of us. You’ll come away with safety considerations, inspiration, and oodles of science and psychology to understand the organic beauty of Primal Pl@y.

💡 What We’ll Explore:

1. 🐺 Hierarchy & Hunger: Explore archetypal dynamics like predator, prey, alpha, beta, pup, packmate, etc. Understand how these roles evoke instinctive responses in the body.
2. 👃 Sniff, Snarl, Signal: When words fall away, how do you stay attuned? We’ll cover nonverbal tools for reading and expressing desire, consent, safewords, and reading shifts in energy—all without relying on speech.
3. 🦴 Scene Sparks: From Breeding to Biting Get inspired with scene ideas and headspace explorations—like breeding rituals, scent worship, chasing, scratching, growling, tussling, and animal roleplay.
4. 🛡️ Safe Territory: Learn how to plan and contain scenes rooted in primal instinct. We’ll cover negotiation for primal scenes, red flags to watch for, and the logistics of safely engaging in hunts, fights, breeding fantasies, and other types of scenes.
5. 🧠 Aftercare & Integration Explore how to soothe your inner beast, regulate the nervous system, and support each other after intense scenes.

Workshop Format:

1. Feel Free to Take Notes! If it helps you learn, we encourage you to bring a notepad to jot notes and reflections.
2. Discussion and Practical Exercises: The workshop involves communication-based exercises and/or negotiated opt-in non-sexual touch. More physical practice will be reserved for the Jam portion afterward.
3. Interactions: Participate to the extent of your comfort - you can also opt-out at any time and observe others!
4. Come Alone or With Someone! Come solo or bring a partner, a friend, a group of coworkers, your frenemies, or your entire polycule! During the exercises, you'll have the opportunity to interact with other students & switch partners, which allows for practicing with familiar partners and new acquaintances. We do not pair people up and encourage guests to make friends and engage to their level of comfort. Couples can stay paired the whole time or choose to practice with others.
5. Dress Code: Feel free to dress however you want, whether vanilla or ready to practice. There is a place to change outfits.
6. Who Can Come: This workshop is open to all gender identifications, sexuaI orientations, lifestyles, singles and couples. All experience levels welcome. 18+

Jam After the Workshop:

A Jam session is a practice participation-based gathering where we focus on practicing what you learned in the workshop or know within the context of the curriculum. The Jam is tailored to the interests of the students and may involve live demonstration scenes, guided practice time, and other applications of class material. Opt to engage to your comfort level or simply observe and learn. This is not a hookup-style event and the focus is on practice.
