A hands-on, practical intro to domination and submission through sensory play.
When Shirin & I hosted our bottoming and topping events, we received a lot of feedback from attendees who liked our little demos and wanted to learn more hands-on, practical moves and tips for how to surrender or assert domination, so we came together and created this:
Sensual Powerplay You’ll learn how to get into the mindset of surrendering and/or taking control, and how to assert your role via voice, gestures, position, body language and movement. You’ll gain understanding of how to set the tone, craft a scene, create anticipation and how to play with the senses using a selection of techniques and toys from our sensory toolkit.

ABOUT SHIRIN & ENA
Shirin and Ena met at their first munch in 2017 and have been playing together and alongside each other in the kink, BDSM and Shibari scenes ever since; continuously learning, growing, exploring, and now, sharing their joint experience though events and workshops.
Professionally, Shirin is a podcast host and editor—often on topics of sexuality and relationships—and a musician.
Ena is a sensualist and multidisciplinary creatrix; a creative director, author, and a sexuality & conscious kink coach and educator.
I’m very excited to team up with my sister in crime; the one who’s been by my side through everything kink related since we met at a munch and started our journeys some six years ago: Shirin!
Together we’ve created a 3 part event series for powerplayers: One for subs/bottoms, one for doms/tops, and one where all meet and mingle.
Tops + Bottoms. The event
After our two workshops on bottoming and topping, we invite all attendants to join together and mingle with other—now wiser, safer and well informed—powerplayers.
Join us for a lighthearted afternoon of fun games and exerises where you’ll also get to practice your new communication and negotiation skills. And who knows, perhaps you meet your next playpartner?
(More detailed description coming)
We look forward to spending time with you!
ABOUT SHIRIN & ENA
Now a versatile switch and eager rigger, Shirin started her journey as a submissive babygirl with a big thing for humiliation. While these sides still come out to play, they are now backed by years of experience and solid knowledge of herself and her boundaries. In her vanilla life Shirin is a podcast host, editor and professional musician.
Ena has gone from a hard necked power sub with a penchant for fear play and attraction to danger (and macho Doms with unhealthy egos), to a full-blown sensualist and rope (s)witch. Professionally, she’s a creative director, author, and a sexuality & kink writer/educator.
The workshop we wish all our past doms had attended…
I’m very excited to team up with my sister in crime; the one who’s been by my side through everything kink related since we met at a munch and started our journeys some six years ago: Shirin!
Together we’ve created a 3 part event series for powerplayers: One for subs/bottoms, one for doms/tops, and one where all meet and mingle.
Topping from the bottoms. The event
When we started out as new subs, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, we dove headfirst into a sub-frenzied whirlwind that took us to places we would have never imagined. Thankfully, in parts to having each other, it turned out alright (in the end…)
On our paths, we’ve encountered every type of Dom and top, from the good (read: safe) to the bad, to the even worse. We’ve learned a lot, and these days, we play on both sides.
Many say the best Doms are frustrated bottoms, and we believe there’s truth to that. But, is it possible to be a good Dominant without having been a submissive first? Yes, definitely, BUT not without the ability to put yourself in the submissive’s shoes.
This event is your invitation to step into our (metaphorical) shoes and learn everything we wish our past Doms had known before we played with them. If you’re someone exploring your dominant side, this is for you!
The evening will be loaded with all the knowledge and nuggets of wisdom we’ve gathered over the years. We’ll cover topics from, but not limited to:
How to approach a sub, what to look for, and watch out for.
How to be a safe, sane and ‘good’ Dom.
What types of subs are there, and what kind of Dom are you?
Doms have boundaries too! Communicating your needs & desires + figuring out what these are.
Pre-negotiation, limits, boundaries, safe words & CONSENT.
The vibe of the evening will be casual, filled with storytelling, open conversation, Q&A, and, most likely, a lot of laughter too. At the end of the night, you’ll go home with a bonus care package PDF filled with notes from the workshop + tips, articles & other useful material.
We look forward to spending time with you!

The workshop we wish had existed when we were new subs…

Bottoms up! The event
When we started out as new subs, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, we dove headfirst into a sub frenzied whirlwind that took us to places we would have never imagined. We had wild and wondeful times (and still do), but occasionally, we ended up in situations that could have been straight-up dangerous. Thankfully, in parts to having each other, it turned out alright (in the end…) Still, had we only known then what we know now…
It’s with this incentive that we’re putting this event together; so that you don’t have to make the same mistakes we did. If you’re new to the scene and curious to explore your submissive side (or, you’ve been exploring for a while, but feel like you’re missing some basics) this is for you!
The evening will be loaded with all the knowledge and nuggets of wisdom we’ve gathered over the years. We’ll cover topics from, but not limited to:
How to vet a Dom, green and red flags, etc.
What types of Doms are there, and what kind of sub are you?
Communicating needs & desires effectively + figuring out what these are.
Pre-negotiation, limits, boundaries & safe words.
How to hold boundaries during play & when in subspace.
What if something goes wrong? Room for errors and how to give feedback.
The vibe of the evening will be casual, filled with storytelling, open conversation, Q&A, and, most likely, a lot of laughter too. At the end of the night, you’ll go home with a bonus care package PDF filled with notes from the workshop + tips, articles & other useful material.

We invite you to a sacred, sensual, exploration of the senses; a journey aimed to take you deep into yourself and land you in the here and now (which is often the most challenging ‘place’ to find).

The following program includes: Intention setting with guided sound meditation Heart-opening cacao + blue lotus tea Aphrodisiac taste bar + blindfolds Touch exercises + ropes + sensory playground Tantra massage mini workshop Open Playground Closing sound healing journey with 9 Tibetan singing bowls

Ena is a sensualist, intuitive energy worker, and a sexuality & kink educator/writer with many years of experience from the kink & BDSM scenes.

A full-day workshop on sensuous body-movement, erotic flow & Leadership/surrender for shibari & play
In a playful manner, we’ll explore sensual themes through reflection and body exercises. You’ll learn to create certain atmospheres and enter the space of different emotions with ease through the use of archetypes in order to meet each other in a sensual context.
We’ll talk about the rationale behind how a body moves, the feelings that different postures and stances might elicit, and the relationship between leadership and surrender.
Systemic coach, kink-educator and rigger, Vægabøund brings a diverse background to his practice where he’s constantly exploring its intersection with dance, bodywork, yoga, martial arts, and photography. This combination gives him a unique access to the aesthetic, emotional, creative and sensual dimension of bondage, kink and physicality.
A yoga teacher, practicing body therapist and rope switch, Sapieha brings a unique sense of body awareness with the aim to explore the mind more deeply without losing sight of one’s partner or physical safety.
Creative sensualists with a depraved sense of humor are my favorite people and probably why the three of us get on like a house on fire. Watching, learning from and tying with Vægabøund & Sapieha is a unique gift, and one that I’m so, so thrilled to share with you!

You can’t spell emotion without motion. a play/workshop focused on moving (with) your rope model to amplify connection & intimacy
A yoga teacher, martial artist, masseur, and Shibari instructor, Levi burns for bodywork. Through his diverse practices, he’s developed his own style of tying that he calls Shantibari (from Shibari and Shanti, Sanskrit for peace, tranquility, and calmness of mind).
Experiencing Levi tying is nothing short of mesmerizing. With unparalleled attention to detail, and to his model, he turns the simplest tie into a full-fledged sensory experience while creating a feeling of suspense that is tangible. If you’re passionate about body movement, floor work, and creating connection in ropes, you’re going to want to learn from this guy!
The workshop
Sunday’s BodyMoves is all about adding movement, flow, and effectful body handling to our rope practice. You’ll learn to tie a dynamic upper body restraint, adding motion and emotion to place your model in focus and increase intimacy, connection, and closeness in ropes.
