Welcome to Meow Meow!

In this session – which we deem one of the most important ones – we will welcome you all to the space and the program we have created for you. For us, it is of the utmost importance to not only guide you through the space, the program, and our intentions but also take a lot of time to establish a framework of being together and enjoying each other’s company at Meow Meow.

This session includes:

• welcoming you all
• explaining the different spaces you can occupy
• going through the program
• introducing the facilitators to you
• rules of engagement, house rules, and anti-abuse-policy
• how to make the best (and not necessarily the most) out of Meow Meow
• boundaries, consent, negotiation
• warm-up exercises and getting to know each other

The world is full of risks, but each of us has different levels of willingness, capacity, and interest in taking the risks we might come across in our life. The same is true in our kinky pursuits. In this class, we will look at what a risk profile is and how to decide what choices we might feel comfortable with around physical risks, legal repercussions, emotional fallout, potential psychological damage, (mis)communication possibilities, and the effects some play can have on our relationships. From Gambler’s Fallacy and trauma bonding to altered states and disproportionate effects risks can have on some populations, this will be a wild ride. Though open to all attendees, buckle in as we will be discussing a variety of “edge play” activities as well as things people might consider immoral, illegal, inappropriate, dubious, and dangerous.

The first day is coming to a close and we are gently guiding you out of it with wonderful live music by ELYEN

ELYEN loves to conceptualize themselves as an instrument that uses many tools for (sonic) expression.
Their background in critical social work helps them understand music as a connective tissue between living beings. Their neurodivergent life experience helps them understand music as technology of communication where verbal language fails.

Extracting nutrients from the roots of spiritual, sacred, and traditional music and the musical experiments and fusions that happened from the 20th century on, they create sounds and collaborative spaces that help us tune into that which connects us all across differences, without attachment to any dogmatic current.

Their experience lies in instant composition, facilitating sound improvisation groups, ritual music for sex-positive events, DJing, and some years of performing with different constellations.

For the open space on Friday, ELYEN will dare to bring their loops and psychedelic sounds back into a public space after years of pandemic isolation.

Come dance with yourself to slow, sultry, bass-y melodies. This is a space for you to explore your erotic slow dance and get as sexy – or not – as you desire. With eyes closed or blindfolded, you’ll be guided through embodiment and movement prompts to dive deeper into your dance. Through a wave of music & Almond’s guidance, you’ll be supported to explore a climax of sorts, with your whole body. You’re welcome to dance naked.

Accessibility: Almond’s guidance will not be movement specific. It will rather be an inspiration for themes to explore in your movement. Almond will emphasize taking care of your physical & emotional body & centre people in chronic pain & disabled folx in her language.

Good morning! The Garden is open for you at this hour with the terrace being dedicated for you to use as a bodywork space. Stretch, do yoga, massage or get massaged. Anything to start your body nicely into the new day. This space is not facilitated by anyone. It is yours to fill.

We each form different relationships in our lives with friends, family, lovers, and others. But what about our relationship with ourselves? In this intense ritual and journey into love, the ultimate question will be asked, “Do you take yourself to be your own spouse?” To love and to cherish, to appreciate and support, for the rest of your days?

Constellations: all constellations welcome

Accessibility: The great part about stimulating the vagus nerve is that it responds to imagined touch as well as physical touch. You’ll be reminded of this through the workshop. So, if any or all of the physical touch techniques aren’t accessible to you, imagining this touch is also effective. Almond is also very happy to provide alternatives at any time during this workshop.

Calling all of you in your queer erotic glory. Come and explore pleasure – whatever that means for you. You’re all welcome here – whether you want to sit and observe or have upside down orgasms. Just being here is enough.

We will give and receive space to reflect on and embody how meow meow has maybe touched, changed, tickled, and stirred you.
