Step out of your head and into your instincts. Primal Play: Unleash the Animal Within is an immersive exploration of the wild, untamed energies that live beneath the surface. Whether you’re drawn to the thrill of the hunt, the surrender of being pursued, or the electric tension between the two, this class invites you to connect with the raw, physical essence of primal dynamics.

Together, we’ll dive into the psychology and emotional depth behind primal play—how it diverges from traditional BDSM roles, and how it taps into a deeper, more intuitive form of power exchange. Through discussion and optional embodied exercises, you’ll learn how to safely express and explore primal impulses like growling, chasing, scenting, wrestling, and eye contact.

This class centers consent, body-based negotiation, non-verbal communication, and safety frameworks that allow you to explore your animalistic side ethically and authentically. Whether you’re brand new or already familiar with primal dynamics, you’ll walk away with tools and inspiration to deepen your practice.

What to Expect:

•An introduction to primal identities: hunter, prey, and switch

•Emotional and physical safety strategies for instinct-driven play

•How to build scenes that move from playful to intense

•Group discussion and self-reflection opportunities

Doors at 6. Class at 6:30. $15 for the class and play party.

Who Should Attend:

Curious beginners, seasoned kinksters, and everyone in between. All genders, orientations, and relationship styles are welcome. Wear something you can move in—animal ears and growls encouraged, but never required.
