The Sanctuary Sessions: A Conscious Play Party

Play parties don’t have to be anonymous or intimidating. At The Sanctuary Sessions, we create a container that blends conversation, community, and exploration. You’ll have the chance to connect with others, set intentions, and step into play that feels safe, consensual, and deeply human.

This isn’t just a party—it’s an experience of authentic connection, shared curiosity, and conscious kink.

What You’ll Experience

1. Facilitated Conversation (8–9PM): Ease into the evening by connecting with fellow attendees through guided conversation. These are light, intentional prompts that help you meet people beyond small talk.
2. Opening Circle (9PM): We gather as a group to ground, introduce ourselves, and set intentions for the night. It’s a space to be seen, heard, and supported before stepping into play.
3. Play Stations (9:30PM–1AM): Explore five unique stations equipped with kinky furniture, each inviting different forms of creative, erotic, and conscious play. You choose your pace—whether that’s watching, playing lightly, or diving deep.

What You’ll Take Away

1. A felt experience of what it means to connect before play
2. Practice setting and holding clear intentions for your evening
3. Opportunities to learn by watching, asking questions, or participating
4. Confidence that comes from being in a space where consent is prioritized
5. A community of people who value authenticity, growth, and respect

About the Facilitators

The Kink Collective team shares a unified philosophy: People Before Kink. Whether guided by Joshua & Cat or other Collective members, every facilitator brings the same commitment to care, consent, and connection.

Together, they hold space where you can feel safe enough to explore, supported enough to stretch your edges, and free enough to express who you are. Each facilitator is dedicated to blending play with presence, ensuring that the night is not only erotic but also deeply human.

FAQ

Do I have to be a member to attend?

Not always. Most of our events are member-focused, but a limited number of non-member tickets are released for each event. Members also get a $10.00 discount on parties and 1-2 free events each month depending on their membership level.

Why do you focus on members and their guests?

Because membership builds trust. When you walk into a Sanctuary Session, you’re stepping into a room of people who share values around consent, care, and growth. That’s what makes the space feel safer, more intentional, and more connected than typical parties.

How do you welcome new members?

Everyone begins with our free online workshop, Connection: Simplified. It’s our way of making sure new folks understand how to communicate with care and respect. From there, you’ll know if this community is right for you.

Do I have to play?

Absolutely not. Watching, socializing, and asking questions are equally valid ways to participate. You’ll never be pressured to do anything you don’t want to do.

What should I wear?

Dress code is “comfortable and confident.” We’re not a dungeon, so wear whatever helps you feel like your best self.

Food & Drink?

We keep it communal. Bring a snack to share and a beverage you enjoy. We’ll provide water, tea, coffee, and lollipops.

Photography?

Optional and always consent-based. Our resident photographer, Victor, will only take photos with explicit pre-scene negotiation and enthusiastic agreement.
