Surrender: a Femme Play Party

This is a femme-only, intimate and experiential play party to nourish your body and soul.

Who is this for?

This is a carefully curated and facilitated event designed for sensual explorers ranging from novice to experienced, from single, coupled, to moresomes—there is plenty of space for you.  At Surrender, you can discover your edges, connect with new and old friends, and learn and practice sexy skills during an evening of pleasure and fun! 

Facilitated by Marji Kizmahas, Kat Rose & tattooed_n_nerdy

The dazzling Marji, Kat, and tattooed_n_nerdy are teaming up to co-create a sexy and love-filled memorable evening of exploring curiosities and erotic desires in a consciously curated playground.

With the combination of authentic relating exercises, somatic sex skills, and embodied wheel of consent practices, you will be sweetly ushered into meaningful connections for you to explore a wide array of erotic delights. 

Oftentimes, as femme creatures, we have a difficult time asking for what we want, saying our Yeses and our Nos—and this evening is designed to support us in the practice of claiming our desires and honoring our moment to moment truths.

This is a sober, substance and alcohol-free event.

The Evening Journey:

We will start warmly and slowly with grounding, connection to self, clarity of intentions and desires. Together we will create the safest possible sex-positive container to explore curiosities, play, and pleasure! We will discuss boundaries, agreements, and safer sex conversations.

Marji & Kat will guide you through a series of partner-based exercises that will allow you to dive deeply into the layers of embodied consent, claiming desires, and exploring sensations. You will get to rotate to a new person per exercise, so that you can create many meaningful connections before we transition to free play time.

With our warmth rising and juicy connections, we will shift from the structured portion of the evening and move into open play, with several yummy erotic play stations and optional connective group experiences.

Questions you may be pondering...

What if I don’t have a date?
No worries! We specifically design our events so that if you show up solo you will feel integrated, connected, included and woven into our ever growing community.

What if I don't identify as a lesbian? Do I need to be sexually into femmes?
You do not need to be sexually “into” femmes to attend. This is our chance to PLAY, be curious and find our pleasures!

I don’t know if I will want to play - Can I still attend?
If you decide you want to spend the evening just watching and taking it all in, you get to do that without shame and with pleasure! We find at most of our events people imagine before attending that they won’t feel comfortable playing, and more often than not, they find some way to engage that is comfortable, safe and fun for them.

How Do I Dress?
Dress in something that feels sexy! You can wear as little or as much as you want, but make it sexy and comfy. If you feel stressed about what to wear, we suggest bringing outfit changes. Feel free to bring extra outfits to share during the play party.
