Playfight

Mindful wrestling

Playfight is a game where participants are invited to invite someone to wrestle on the ground. The goal is not to win a competition but to take the time to listen to one's body, emotions, and to be influenced by the energy of one's wrestling partner.

By exploring different dynamics (primal, instinctive, childlike, top, bottom, sensual, etc.), it is an invitation to let one's primal energy explode, without getting hurt, in full awareness of oneself and the other.

Playful and introspective, it is a space for expressing consent and setting boundaries, even in non-verbal ways.

In practice:

• The workshop is open to everyone regardless of your gender, orientation, ethnicity, social class, physical ability, mental ability, age (legal age required),...
