What If Intimacy Felt Like Play?

Closeness. Freedom. Surrender. These are the experiences of intimacy we crave—but so often, we’re left navigating them alone.

Q***r spaces give us glimpses of connection. But in clubs, meetups, and gatherings, there’s rarely a structure that truly holds us, that guides us deeper into what we’re seeking. How often have you longed for intimacy but felt unsure of how to really access it? How often have you left an event wishing for more depth, more tenderness, more moments of genuine connection?

Check out my latest newsletter in the bio about Awakening Intimacy, a full day workshop coming to Amsterdam on Saturday 29th March.

A space designed to help you explore yourself and each other in a way that is playful, conscious, and deeply nourishing. This isn’t just about physical closeness; it’s about understanding how your body relates, communicates, and opens to deeper connections.

A beautiful collaboration with

A day of movement, massage, care and cacao.

I love being able to offer a day of pure delight. Something that has been created to bring connection, closeness and just a beautiful yummy simple day.

Many of us yearn for closeness but struggle with barriers—tension in the body, stress in the nervous system, or uncertainty around how to express our needs and desires. This carefully curated experience weaves together powerful embodiment practices to gently release tension, awaken sensitivity, and cultivate deeper connection with yourself and others.

This special day has been created in response to the call from our community—a call for longer, deeper experiences where we can fully unwind, connect, and explore intimacy in a safe and supportive space.

Are You Coming to Learn — or to Experience?

I've been sitting with this question a lot lately. Every space I create holds both learning and experiencing — but each carries a different invitation. Understanding what you're stepping into can transform how you engage.

These two pathways aren't separate — they weave together, feeding each other. But I've realised how powerful it can be to name the difference — to give you the chance to consciously choose how you want to show up in each space.

I've written more into this in my latest newsletter which you can check out from in my bio.

I’m always learning.

I'm still on my own journey of learning how to best support you. This insight has given me a new way to frame each space I offer — to help you understand what kind of experience you're stepping into, and how you can engage to get the richest experience possible. This isn't something you need to figure out — it's my role to guide you and shine a light on what might unfold. I'm so grateful for the chance to keep refining this work alongside you, and to witness the beautiful discoveries that arise in each space we co-create.

The slow, aching pull toward something deeper. The urge to let go—not just in your body, but in your whole being. The craving to step into something bigger than a role or a scene, to feel the heat of real power and surrender moving between you and another.

I want more than just “scenes.” I wanted to feel the energy shifting between us, the slow build, the thick, humming anticipation, the kind of power that doesn’t come from force—but from presence.

That’s why I created A Touch of Power—a one-day workshop exploring the meeting point of kink, ta**ra, and intimacy. A taste of the deeper work I offer in my Conscious Kink retreats.

This Sunday in Amsterdam, check out the link in my bio.

Thinking about joining A Touch of Power in Amsterdam next weekend??

Feeling a bit of… worry? Doubt? Concern?

I've had a few chats with people interested in coming who have been telling me these things.

I wanted to make a post to say it’s completely normal to feel unsure about stepping into something new. What if you freeze? What if it’s overwhelming? What if you’re not ‘kinky enough’?

To keep it simple, this workshop is designed to help you stay connected to yourself while exploring new sensations, dynamics, and possibilities. It’s not about performance or pushing limits—it’s about presence, curiosity, and care.

If you want more info there's a link in my bio.

And if you have questions or worries, feel free to message me. I’m happy to have a chat.

One week in a lush paradise.

One week of profound connection.

One week of intentional exploration.

K1nk can be a beautiful, expansive, and life-changing experience.

So often, we approach k1nk with a rush—focusing on outcomes or skipping over the richness of the journey. But when we take our time, we discover the depth of connection and love that arises when we soften into presence (even amidst intensity).

This retreat was about bringing slowness, communication, and awareness to k1nk practices. Whether participants were complete beginners or deeply experienced, it didn’t matter. Together, we explored new dimensions of connection and equipped ourselves with tools to create the experiences we truly desire.

We dove deeper still, uncovering the unique needs we hoped to meet through these practices. Was it the freedom of surrender? A sense of re-parenting? A challenge to patterns of people-pleasing? Whatever the need, we worked to bring it into awareness and offered tools to continue this exploration long after the retreat.

What an extraordinary group of souls. This week was a powerful reminder of the healing that can be found in connection.

Still feeling blessed to work and with

I’m so looking forward to how this work continues to open and evolve.

Just completed my first retreat more pics and stories to follow. But for now a massive thank you to for being an incredible collaborator and co-creator in this adventure.

This was a fantasy come true. A truly remarkable group of people who were really up for exploration and opening up to their vulnerability. Using k1nk as a way to meet those parts of ourselves that need more love, more acceptance and more insight is a profound and moving experience.

This group way amazing. The venue were so so accommodating. And our assistants were incredible. I really couldn’t have asked for anything more for my first retreat.

Now for some rest and decompression. Feeling very grateful to life for leading me here, for allowing this dream to manifest, to be offering things that are deeply in service of other people’s growth and pleasure. 🙏

Welcome to the we’re getting ready to meet our full group tomorrow. Today is a day to consolidate what we are planning and really need into the land.

It really is such a beautiful space, there is such love and care being put into the creation of this place it feels like an honour to be part of it.

This bit, just before stepping in to running a retreat, is filled with such excitement and curiosity. It has been 10 years since I ran my last retreat and this one has been a long time coming. I’ve been dreaming of being able to take people into a longer self development journey for years now and am so grateful to for inviting me to do this with them.

The opportunity to bring together our passions for development, sacredness and k1nk is such a blessing. Can’t wait to get started tomorrow.

On my way back home after another beautiful q***r festival of the summer. _ingo_ta**ra holds such a space of devotion to blood and experiment it was beautiful to be part of their creation.

Plus I got the 2 most amazing facilitator roomies and **ra. Who really held such amazing spaces too. Highly recommend what they are both offering.

This has been my 4th festival this year and each one is so so different. I love being a part of q***r guys discovering new more loving ways to connect. And a love meeting and deepening relationships with other people who are also facilitating these amazing spaces.

Now a little me time before our next Ecstatic and Breathwork, and before the Costa Rica retreat (which I haven’t yet officially spoken about).

I feel tired but satisfied. Looking forward to continuing to build these many connections into the future.

THIS IS A FA**OT. THIS IS A MAN.

This is me standing for these things, supporting other men to feel fu***ng great in themselves, in their desires and in their manhood!

I spent too many years thinking I was not man enough, not even a full man. But I think this has so little to do with sexual orientation. I am a fu***ng man and I stand for every possible expression of that in myself and in each person that sees themselves in that way.

As men regardless of orientation there are expectations and boxes we are meant to fill. I have the proud privilege of working with these incredible q***r men . This is my element. These are the people I’m currently supporting.

I was a shy child, I carried a lot of shame about who I was, not just because of my orientation, but also my weirdness and my smallness. I love seeing this picture. This is me in my passion. Speaking to a huge group of people about connection, intimacy, creativity and letting go into just being themselves.

I love being able to offer this work at these festivals and I love for the invitation to do this.

And the best thing, I get to do it again toss coming weekend **ra

I’ve spent the last month living with significant physical pain, something for another post, but being able to safely hold these spaces feels like I’m able to step into such service of humanity.

Life has been a rollercoaster this last year, holy f**k, but I’m constantly learning, growing and bringing my passion and love ❤️

Thanks to Timo for the great pic.
