Touch&Play Role Play Immersion

Demons to Daimons | Monsters to Mothers

A 3-day immersive role play experience

Embody your existential kink. Role play your archetypal edges. Explore fears and desires in a group setting rooted in consent, care and creativity.

In 1995, E.R.O.S (Embodied Rituals of Summoning) opened its doors: a psychosomatic laboratory in Western Massachusetts whose mission is to create a liminal bridge to the Otherworld. Last year, they made an incredible breakthrough. Now they have called together a carefully chosen circle of psychonauts to hold the bridge open. Will you step across?

Join us for a world-building weekend where we collectively create a shared imaginal reality in which archetypes are real, spirits have agency, and our bodies are the portal. Participants will play as characters with a unique intention to connect with the Otherworld: as lovers, shadow dancers, explorers, alchemists, and earth stewards. Over the course of the weekend, players will explore being moved, influenced, or even overtaken by these forces imbuing us with their unique wisdom and wildness.

This is an advanced Touch and Play container for those with extensive experience in Touch and Play and/or other adjacent psycho-somatic practices. The intention of the weekend is to create a shared mythic frame, a magical circle in which participants can experiment with their edges in a slightly altered reality through touch, dance, role play, and more!
