REID MIHALKO & LORE BLANCKE IN BELGIUM
One weekend, four experiences, with different ways to join us.
On Friday evening, you can watch two sxx educators reveal some of what they actually do in bed.
Saturday morning is devoted to the delights and complications of playing with more than two people. In the afternoon, we begin a new event together that continues into the evening with a Red Play Party.
On Sunday, you bring someone you trust for a full day of giving and receiving massage, from head to toe and everything between.
You can join us for Friday evening, Saturday morning, the full Saturday, Sunday as a duo, or the full weekend as a duo. The Saturday afternoon workshop and Red Play Party are available only with a full Saturday or full-weekend ticket.
The weekend is taught in English and welcomes adults of all genders, bodies, orientations and relationship styles.
FRIDAY EVENING · 27 NOVEMBER · 18.30–21.30
WHAT SXX EDUCATORS ACTUALLY DO IN BED
A Show ’N Tell Evening
Ever wondered what sxx educators actually do in bed?
We’re lifting the covers. Literally.
For one evening, world-renowned sxx and relationship geek Reid Mihalko and intimacy educator Lore Blancke bring some of their favourite go-to bedroom practices to the stage.
There will be no slideshows and no vague metaphors, just live demonstrations of things we genuinely teach, use and love. Expect a bit of a showdown between two very opinionated intimacy nerds, plenty of laughter and real tools you can bring home.
Because, honestly, there are very few places where we get to watch and learn when it comes to sxx. We’re expected to know how to touch, communicate, flirt, initiate, tease, pleasure and connect without ever having seen it done.
That ends here.
Throughout the evening, we’ll demonstrate some of our favourite sxxual and relational practices, share stories from our own lives, compare notes, answer questions and probably disagree about a few things.
You get to watch, learn and ask questions. You do not have to do anything.
This is not a workshop. You won’t be asked to pair up for a practice and you won’t be put on the spot. Come as you are, settle in and enjoy the show.
You can expect live demonstrations of bedroom skills and connection practices, real examples of things we actually do in bed, stories and mistakes, audience questions, weird little hacks and quite possibly some inspiration you’ll want to try at home.
This event is explicit, educational, playful and fully consent-based. Think sxx education meets live show-and-tell.
Bring your curiosity, a friend and perhaps a notebook.
SATURDAY MORNING · 28 NOVEMBER · 10.00–13.00
MORE THAN TWO
Making Threesomes, Foursomes & Group Play Work
More bodies bring more possibilities. They also bring more hands, more attention, more communication and a surprisingly high chance that somebody’s elbow ends up somewhere inconvenient.
Group play isn’t simply the kind of play you already know with a few extra people added. Including several people well is its own skill.
How do you help everyone feel wanted without frantically trying to give everyone equal attention? How do you make requests without sounding like an air-traffic controller? What happens when one person gets quiet, somebody changes their mind or the whole thing becomes funny and awkward?
Through teaching, live demonstrations and optional experiments, we’ll explore ways to make multi-person play more connected, spacious and enjoyable.
We may work with:
- positioning and body logistics when more than two people are involved;
- helping several people feel included without trying to control every moment;
- tracking the comfort, enthusiasm and arousal of multiple people;
- communicating desires, boundaries, pacing and safer-sxx needs before everybody gets tangled;
- giving and receiving pleasure with more than one person;
- adjusting when something becomes awkward, vulnerable or confusing;
- and finding group dynamics that actually fit the humans involved.
You do not need to arrive as an existing trio or group. You can come alone, with a partner or with several people.
All practical exercises are optional. Watching, taking notes, asking questions and laughing at the logistics all count as participation. You may remain fully clothed, practise only with the person or people you came with, or step out of any exercise.
This workshop is for curious beginners as well as people who already have experience and would like more skill, creativity and ease.
SATURDAY AFTERNOON & EVENING · 28 NOVEMBER · 15.00–22.30
RED PLAY PARTY
Workshop & Play Space
15.00–17.30 · From Awkward to Playful: Workshop & Group Opening
17.30–19.00 · Dinner and changing break
19.00–22.30 · Red Play Party
The afternoon workshop and Red Play Party are included only with full Saturday and full-weekend tickets. To join the party, you need to attend both the Saturday morning workshop and the afternoon opening.
From Awkward to Playful
The afternoon gives us time to arrive, meet the people in the room and explore some of the skills that can make a play party more relaxed, connected and fun.
Reid and Lore will guide playful practices and share practical tools for flirting, making invitations, talking about desires, receiving a no, changing your mind and navigating awkward moments without deciding that everything has gone terribly wrong.
We’ll get curious about how you recognise who you might actually want to play with, how to begin without being creepy, how to make consent conversations part of the chemistry and how to tell when someone, or something, is probably not a good idea.
This is also where we create the agreements for the evening together. Consent won’t be treated as a serious little lecture before the fun begins. It will be part of how we create the fun.
After the workshop, there will be time to eat, change clothes, rest and return for the evening.
The Red Play Party
When the time is right, we open the space and the evening becomes more free-flowing.
Maybe you want to cuddle with someone you just met, dance, flirt, explore touch, play with ropes, give or receive a massage, try a bold request, get spanked, watch something intriguing or have an unexpectedly vulnerable conversation.
Maybe you spend half the evening drinking tea and thinking, “Well, this is interesting.”
There are many ways to be here. You don’t need to arrive feeling sxxual, social or brave, and you don’t need to be attracted to everyone—or anyone.
What we would love to create together is a room where we can be unusually honest, take good care of ourselves and feel enough trust to experiment when we want to. You can try something and discover that you like it. You can also try something, pause halfway through and change direction.
Tender can live next to naughty, shy next to bold, kinky next to vanilla, and depth next to absolute silliness.
Lots can happen. Nothing needs to happen.
Please arrive on time, since the shared beginning is part of how we create the evening together.
Wear something you feel good in. That might be soft and comfortable, elegant, kinky, extravagant, your favourite dress, your unicorn onesie or simply your normal clothes. You’re welcome to bring different options and see what ends up on your body.
You may also bring toys, ropes or other things that might add to your curiosity and play.
SUNDAY · 29 NOVEMBER · 11.00–18.00
A FULL-BODY MASSAGE DAY FOR DUOS
From Head to Toe, and Everything Between
Massage often begins as a way to help someone relax.
But what becomes possible when we slow down enough to really listen through our hands? When we notice a breath changing, muscles softening, goosebumps appearing, or a body leaning into our touch?
This full-day, hands-on workshop is an exploration of the journey from restorative massage into sensual touch and, for those who choose it, erotic full-body massage.
You’ll learn practical ways of giving touch that feels connected, responsive and alive. Not by memorising a perfect routine, but by developing the skills that let you listen, adjust and discover what works for the particular person beneath your hands.
We’ll work with presence, breath, movement, pressure, pace and rhythm. We’ll explore how to help someone settle into their body, how to communicate about what feels good, and how pleasure can grow when we stop trying to make something impressive happen.
The morning begins fully clothed, with the foundations that make all kinds of touch more nourishing:
- becoming grounded before touching someone else
- listening through your hands
- exploring different kinds of pressure, pace and attention
- noticing and responding to subtle body language
- creating safety and trust through touch
- giving and receiving feedback without losing the connection
- letting relaxation become part of pleasure
After lunch, we gradually expand into sensual and erotic massage.
This part of the day is clothing optional and includes explicit demonstrations. We’ll explore how the whole body can become part of an erotic experience, including possibilities for intimate and genital touch.
Through demonstrations, guided practice and plenty of space for questions, we’ll play with how breath, movement, rhythm, curiosity and attention can deepen sensation. You’ll have time to try things out together while Reid and Lore move through the room, offering support, ideas and coaching when wanted.
This workshop is for duos. You come with someone you already want to explore with, whether that person is a partner, lover, friend or another trusted person. You’ll practise within your own duo throughout the day, without rotating partners.
Everything is optional.
You can pause, change your mind, keep clothes on, skip a particular practice, observe a demonstration or adapt an invitation to suit your bodies and relationship.
This isn’t about performing massage correctly or racing towards a particular result.
It’s about becoming more confident with touch. More able to ask, listen and respond. More comfortable allowing pleasure to unfold without forcing it anywhere.
And hopefully leaving with tired hands, a happy nervous system, and quite a few things you’re curious to continue exploring at home.
One ticket is for two people.
