UPDATE: Signups are now closed for The Whirlpool 2025. Thank you to all our hypnokink family and friends! We hope to see you at The Whirlpool 2026.
Hypnokinksters are invited to join in an intimate weekend retreat (max. 32 people) focused on sharing, learning, and community. We seek to celebrate craft, creativity, and curiosity in a setting where everyone's unique perspective is valued. Each participant has something to contribute, whether that be leading a discussion or activity, teaching a skill, or just being fully present.
The retreat will be a mix of pre-planned activities, unconference, socializing, and play. We will close with a Salon where you will have the opportunity to demonstrate something you're proud of.
Exploration is our watchword. This is an event for people who love to stretch themselves to become more thoughtful and skilled hypnotists and subjects. "Active beginner" hypnotists/subjects and beyond are welcome. Participants should already be conversant in the basics of kink consent culture, and hypnokink consent specifically. We request that all participants be fully vaccinated against covid-19. Please get in touch if you have any questions about prerequisites.
Tickets are $750 for the weekend, including retreat programming, lodging, and all meals. We ask that everyone arrive Friday evening as not to miss welcome activities and group consent agreements. We cannot pro-rate tickets for anyone who may need to leave before Monday.
If you're the kind of nerd who thinks this sounds like fun, please fill out the form and we will be in touch for vetting. Once the vetting process is complete we will send payment info and exact location.
As always, you are welcome to get in touch with any questions you may have.
