Curious about primal play, but not sure where to start?

This introductory workshop is your guide into the wide, wild world of primal. Designed like a sampler platter, we’ll explore multiple flavors of primal play—from the soft and sensual, to the wild and rough, to the cunning and strategic. Whether you’re a hunter, a creature of instinct, or a playful prey, this is your chance to feel into what resonates for you.

Led by Rorpheus—CPR/First Aid certified and trained in somatic awareness and martial movement—you’ll be invited to move at your own pace, with an emphasis on consent, safety, and communication. Think of this as your grounding class before the chase.

💫 What You’ll Explore:

🧠 Types of Primal Play: Learn the different archetypes—hunter, prey, wildling, beast, seducer—and the dynamics involved.

🛡️ Consent in the Wild: Non-verbal negotiation, red/yellow/green signals, and pre-scene check-ins.

🌬️ Somatic Grounding: Connect breath, sound, and body into an embodied presence.

🐾 Soft vs. Hard Primal: Sample the slow, sensory approach and contrast it with pressure, intensity, and struggle.

🤼 Rough Play: Intro to physical resistance, pinning, and creative ways to secure or struggle.

🎭 Animal Body Language: Learn how movement, gaze, and posture shift the energy of a scene.

🎯 Workshop Format:

1. Consent & archetype discussion
2. Somatic warm-up & breath-led grounding
3. Guided movement & rough play samplers
4. Optional partnered drills and safe experimentation
5. All levels and body types welcome
