Playing Well with Others: The Dos and Don'ts of Play Parties
Hosted by Nicole Sonnefeldt
Let’s talk “PLAY PARTY.” This interactive workshop is for the curious and the seasoned alike. We’ll break down how to navigate play parties with clarity and confidence — from setting intentions and practicing consent (yes, even handling rejection like a pro) to safer sex and staying connected with your partner while exploring the room.
Nicole combines lived experience with her background as a trauma-informed couples therapist to guide this open, engaging conversation. Expect practical tools, honest dialogue, and grounding before-and-after rituals to help you feel secure, empowered, and fully in your body.
