About this event
Primal Eros: Primal Play with Room for Sensuality
What happens when you stop managing your masks and desires and let your body speak?
Primal Play is a moving, wordless meditation and a playground for relating. In this edition we open the door a little wider and welcome Eros. It isn't a goal and it isn't something to perform. It's the life force that is already in you: warmth, appetite, curiosity, the pleasure of touching and being touched.
This is one evening, three hours long. Think of it as a taste: a chance to feel what happens when play and Eros are allowed in the same room.
The evening builds up slowly. We start light, with movement, breath and play, and open things up one round at a time. Each round invites a bit more closeness, a bit more flavour and a bit more Eros. You can stay at any level as long as you like, and you can step out of a round whenever you want. Nobody has to keep up.
Here the body leads, and words, roles and polite masks get a little quieter. You might roar, roll across the floor, rest your head on someone's belly or end up in a slow, sensual exchange with another person. You might also spend a long time just breathing on your own. Both count.
This is a brave space. We hold it with care, and you may touch some edges: around wanting, shame, saying no and hearing no.
What the evening can include:
Primal Play is a non-verbal dialogue of breath, sound, movement and touch. In this Eros edition that can mean:
-Free movement and embodiment
-Playful encounters and playfight
-Sensual and erotic touch, with consent
-Kissing and making out, when both people want it
-Nakedness, if you choose it
-Conscious cuddling, stillness and meditation
You decide how far you go. Choosing to do very little is also a valid way to take part.
Where the line is:
-Touch is welcome everywhere on the body, as long as both people want it. Sex is not part of this space. That means: no penetration of any kind, including with fingers, and no oral sex. This limit isn't there to make Eros smaller. Because you know where things stop, you can explore without worrying about where they might lead.
-Nudity is optional and never expected. You can stay dressed, take off one layer or be naked, and change your mind at any time.
Consent:
Every touch is an invitation. Before the play opens, we practise how to ask, how to give a yes, no or maybe without words, and how to stop at any moment. A no is always welcome and needs no explanation. We stay present the whole time and step in when needed.
Difficulty level:
🔴 Challenging and playful (Advanced)
You don't need any specific training. We do recommend that you've already joined a Primal Play or a similar body-oriented workshop. You may meet some edges, in a group that plays and takes care of each other. If you have any doubts, please feel free to reach out.
Practical details:
-What to wear: clothes you can move in, ideally in layers. Bring a sarong or large cloth and a towel.
-Who is this for: adults (18+) of all genders and relationship styles, whether single, in a couple, or open or poly.
-Coming as a couple? Talk beforehand about what feels right for each of you, especially kissing, erotic touch and nakedness with others. Your agreements belong to you, so keep them yourselves. We won't hold them for you.
-Sober space: Don't take alcohol or drugs before or during the event.
Important note:
This is a sensual, clothing-optional event that builds up step by step. Erotic touch anywhere on the body, kissing and nakedness can happen between people who both want it. Sex is not part of the container.
About the facilitators:
Veronique and Robert guide this evening together. They're a couple and have been exploring relating, intimacy, disconnection and consciousness in their own lives for more than 20 years, alongside their trainings. Because they live in a long-distance relationship, they use these tools all the time to stay close. That practice shapes what they bring into the room.
Veronique Van den Bossche (Gent, Belgium)
"Intimacy, conscious relating and personal growth are what I care about most. I create spaces and journeys where people can explore themselves and build more honest connections, with themselves and with others. I work with mindful practices and open conversation, so people find more harmony in themselves and more joy in how they live and love."

Robert
"I love holding spaces where people feel safe enough to open up and try something new. For years I've worked alongside sexological bodyworkers, BDSM and bondage artists, tantra coaches and sex educators. I help them shape and market their courses, and I co-develop formats that bring conscious sexuality to more people. What drives me is creating experiences deep enough that real connection can happen."
