What happens when one sense goes quiet—and the others begin to speak louder?

This workshop invites you to step into the subtle, surprising world of sensory play and sensory deprivation. By gently removing or limiting one sense, we open the door to heightened awareness, deeper presence, and new ways of experiencing touch, anticipation, and connection.

Expect curiosity, a little suspense, and moments of delicious uncertainty.

Guided by Caritia, participants will explore how shifting sensory input can transform perception—how the absence of sight, sound, or control can sharpen attention and awaken the body in unexpected ways. This is a practical, hands-on space where you’re invited to explore at your own pace, always within clear boundaries and consent.

What we’ll explore together:

  • How sensory deprivation affects awareness, perception, and emotional response
  • The role of anticipation, trust, and the unknown in sensory play
  • Different tools and techniques for intentionally exploring sensory restriction (e.g., blindfolds, sound, touch variation)
  • How to give and receive sensation with intention and attunement
  • Communication and harm-reduction prinicples/ practices that support deeper exploration

Important notes:

This is a participatory workshop involving guided exercises. All activities are optional, and clear consent and personal boundaries are prioritised throughout. No prior experience is needed—just a willingness to explore the unknown, one sense at a time.
