The Workshoplounge offers educational events in the BDMS/Kink scene. All-in, accesible, inclusive and wide ranged. Located in Amsterdam.
WORKSHOP LOUNGE
Kink-minded, sex-positive learning & community events.
The Workshop Lounge is all about learning, sharing experiences and meeting others in the kink community. Our events bring people together to explore different aspects of kink, sexuality, relationships and personal interests.
Starting in 2027, there will be two different editions of the Workshop Lounge. Each has its own organising collective and audience, but both share the same values and approach.
✦ Wicked WomXn Workshop Lounge
Our established (since 2022) annual event for WLINTA (Women, Lesbian, Intersex, Non-Binary, Trans and Agender) individuals. A dedicated space for WLINTA people to learn, share experiences and connect with each other. This is part of the Wicked WomXn Weekend: a collaboration between several organisers from the WLINTA / Kink community.
✦ All Gender Workshop Lounge (working title, name will change soon)
A new edition welcoming people of all gender(identitie)s.
We're giving this a try after several requests from our communities.
Our first edition takes place in January 2027, to explore the possibilities of bringing the Workshop Lounge concept to a wider audience.
✦ WHAT TO EXPECT ✦
The Workshop Lounge is an educational and social event, not a playparty. The focus is on learning, sharing experiences, trying new things and meeting others.
All editions offer a varied programme of workshops, demonstrations, talks/dialogues and creative activities. Some are practical, while others focus on exchanging knowledge, experiences and different perspectives.
Whether you're completely new to kink or have years of experience, there's plenty to discover.
You can expect:
✓ Workshops and lectures: learn new skills and techniques. Topics may include BDSM, fetish, consent, negotiations, soft skills and much more.
✓ Dialoques and experince sharing: explore different perspectives on kink, sexuality, identity, relationships and other subjects.
✓ Creative activities: we offer at lest two creative sessions. This can include toymaking, visual art, verbal expression, movement and much more
✓ Meeting others: Catch up with familiar faces, make new connections and exchange experiences with people from the community. We have several social areas that are open all day.
You choose your own schedule. Come for one class or book for all three rounds, hang around, play games, explore the buffet...it's up to you.
Participation in activities is always voluntary. Your personal boundaries and choices are respected, and you're welcome to participate at your own pace.
ALL-INCLUSIVE AND ACCESSIBLE ♿
✓ One ticket with everything included! Your ticket covers all workshops, activities and materials,with no addional fees. Also included are coffee, (herbal) tea, water, and an extensive snack buffet throughout the day.
✓ Our events take place at an accessible venue, with attention to different needs and abilities. This includes an elevator, adjusted toilet, and a quiet room. We also offer special caretaker 'tickets' and of course bringing your own food and drinks is allowed. The location does not have their own parking lot!!
If you have specific accessibility requirements or questions, feel free to contact us beforehand.
❗TWO EDITIONS, SHARED VALUES ❗
Although organised by different collectives, both editions share the same commitment to kink education, community and the exchange of knowledge and experiences.
Inclusivity, consent, accessibility and mutual respect are central to both events.
We welcome people with different backgrounds, interests, bodies, relationships, abilities and levels of experience.
The workshoplounge is a learning environment and aims to be a safer space and brave space. We understand that honest mistakes can be made, but we do expect people to actively listen, respect boundaries and take responsibility for their behaviour.
Discrimination, harassment, bullying, uwanted attention and other (intentionally) harmful behaviour is taken very seriously. If something happens, our team is always available to listen and step in. We will address inappropriate / unwanted behaviour and take additional actions if needed. This can escalate to being removed or banned from our event(s).
And let us emphasise once again:
The Wicked WomXn Workshop Lounge continues as a dedicated event for the WLINTA community. The All Gender Workshop Lounge (working title) will make its debut as a pilot in 2027, welcoming people of all genders.
