OUR
MISSION
kinkHEARTED is a platform that offers a range of workshops in various aspects of kink. Our mission is to provide a safe and inclusive space for individuals and their partners to explore and learn about kink and BDSM in a respectful and consensual manner. We believe in teaching kink from the heart, from the start and will focus on creating and maintaining a connection with your (play/practice) partner while exploring power dynamics, pain, pleasure and ropes. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or new to the world of kink; kinkHEARTED is here to support and guide you on your journey of self-discovery and exploration in kink.
Our ethical statement:
We want to make it clear that there will never be any pressure to participate in activities that make you uncomfortable. You are welcome to attend the workshop and choose to keep your clothes on and refrain from touching others if that is your preference. Additionally, if at any point you feel uncomfortable or begin to have doubts during an exercise, you are free to skip it. Your comfort and consent are of the utmost importance to us. We will regularly check in with you during the exercises to ensure that what you are doing or receiving is still what you desire.
🌈 All forms are welcome at our workshop: singles, couples, friends, triads, polycules and individuals of all genders and sexual orientations. We embrace diversity and provide an inclusive space where everyone can feel comfortable, respected, and celebrated.

WORKSHOPS
PAIN & PLEASURE: Find pleasure in pain
Explore your relation to pain: where do you find pleasure? By using different roles, different tools and different intensities we help you determine how (and or) you want to use pain in your play. Next to that, we dive deeper into building a connection with your (practice) partner: tuning into their eyes, their bodies, their breath. Together we create intensity that goes beyond what pain tools can provide.
We want to ensure that every participant feels safe in our workshop, which means we will pay attention to consent and safety before engaging in any play. The workshop switches back and forth between theory and exercises, to form a base that you can take home for further practice.
kinkHEARTED wants to teach kink from the heart, from the start. Pain will be our tool while playing with different ways to connect. We’ll teach you to read your (practice) partner’s breath, sounds and body language – all so you can push the right buttons.
The workshop is accessible to both couples and singles. Switching (both roles and partners) during the workshop is invited but not mandatory. We want to make it clear that the pain we work with in this workshop is limited to that which can only leave temporary marks. We will not be working with pain that involves piercing the skin, or any form of play that involves body fluids. Such as needle play, blood play, or any other activity that goes underneath the skin.
We find it important to provide a safe and inclusive space during this workshop. Please do not attend if you are not willing to respect other people’s boundaries or create a safe and inclusive space.
CONNECTIVE ROPE: Use rope as your tool for connection
Ropes are beautiful tools of connection – but ropes can also be scary, technical and somewhat intimidating. In this workshop, we focus on connection, presence and play with ánd through ropes. We will not be teaching technical knots, but create our rope dynamics with wraps and approach.

kinkHEARTED wants to teach kink from the heart, from the start. The ropes will be our tool while playing with different ways to connect. The eyes. The body language. The breath. How your presence, your hands and your ropes can tease, hold, lead and dominate. Come tie with us!
The workshop is accessible to both couples and singles. Switching (both roles and partners) during the workshop is invited but not mandatory. We will bring more than enough ropes to play with, but of course you are also welcome to bring/use your own ropes! Most of our rope is made hemp and washed many times. We do have jute rope on request.

PRESSURE POINTS, BREATH & DOMINATION: Push deeper to play harder
How deep can you go without a single touch? How can your breath reveal your state of being – and how can you use that to read your (play)partner? We start by creating connection without touching and explore how breath can enhance the dynamic between two people.
Then we layer into pressure points: subtle, sharp, deep, yearning. You’ll learn how to bring someone to the edge… or keep them just beneath it. Power and presence will be our key words this evening: kink from the heart, from the start.
We want to ensure that every participant feels safe in our workshop, which means we will pay attention to consent, safety and expressing boundaries before engaging in any play. We also want to make it clear that this is not a breathplay (e.g. choking) workshop! The workshop is accessible to both couples and singles. Switching (both roles and partners) during the workshop is invited but not mandatory.

EMBRACE YOUR INNER SADIST: Own your sadistic desires
Your sadistic side isn’t something to hide: it’s something to savor. The sadist spectrum is much bigger than whips and chains: it can be words and pressure and sensations and denial. How do you (want to) relate to that spectrum? Play and find out…

kinkHEARTED wants to teach kink from the heart, from the start. Words, looks, silence, denial.. A longing to use your hands and tools? Or maybe the desire to hear the sounds of your partner? Sadism can take all shapes and forms. We’ll guide you in exploring your flavor, while staying in connection.

FAQ
Your website/social media is all in English. Is that the same in the workshops?
Our workshops are mostly given in English, since we have a lot of non-Dutch-speaking attendees. All of our facilitators speak both English and Dutch, so if you have a question that can be better asked (or answered!) in Dutch, we can do that as well.
I want to join your workshop but don’t have a set (play)partner. How does that work? Would I be partnered with another single?
In general, our workshops have a mix of couples and singles. Couples can choose to stay together, but we encourage participants to also work with different people during the various exercises. There’s regular switching — both of partner and of role. This allows you to practice with different dynamics, as the connection with one person can be completely different from the connection with someone else!
If you’re coming as a single, we do expect a certain openness to practicing with different people, and possibly different genders. Our workshops are focused on kink and connection, not explicitly on sensual or sexual contact (although there is certainly room for that, should it naturally arise). If you do have a strong preference for a specific type of person (in terms of age, gender, etc.), we recommend bringing a practice partner with you 🙂
What’s the level of experience in your workshop? How beginner-friendly are you?
In our workshops we find all different types and levels of kinksters: from the people taking their first exploring steps to the people who have been in the scene for several years but have a longing for more connection. To follow our workshops NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE IS NEEDED – not even for the rope workshops.
It can be good to know that our workshops are a combination of theoretical background and explorative exercises. We take our time to create a safe container together – so we can play and explore more freely during the exercises. We are aiming to teach ‘kink from the heart, from the start’. To us, that means that we focus on creating and maintaining the connection with your practice partner – and for that you do not need to have previous experience or even a relation to pain or rope.
Do I have to do every exercise in a workshop?
We want to make it clear that there will never be any pressure to participate in activities that make you uncomfortable. You are welcome to attend the workshop and choose to keep your clothes on and refrain from touching others if that is your preference. Additionally, if at any point you feel uncomfortable or begin to have doubts during an exercise, you are free to skip it. Your comfort and consent are of the utmost importance to us. We will regularly check in with you during the exercises to ensure that what you are doing or receiving is still what you desire.
Your dresscode says ‘comfortable kink’ – what do you mean by that?
We want to encourage people to be as comfortable as possible in our workshops – while still able to express themselves through the clothes they wear. In our workshops, we spend parts seated or laying down, but we will also move around (and especially giving impact can be quite intense!). During exercises we also give people the opportunity to remove as much clothing as they like: bare skin gives a different experience of impact and rope play than covered skin and it can be interesting to experience both. We advise to gather your outfit around the following points:
- Something that you can move around in, but is also comfortable enough to sit/lay down in. Jeans, very tight harnesses and sexy but uncomfortable lingerie & straps might not be your best pick for a workshop.
- Something that expresses your kinky side: bodysuits, fishnets, latex/leather/PVC, sheer/mesh/shiny fabrics… BUT – and this is a big but: make sure you feel empowered by your outfit, not uncomfortable. If latex gives you the ick, then don’t! And if you have no clue yet how your kinky side would like to dress… then see if you can find something that makes you feel sexy, or pretty, or strong. Everything is welcome, but you don’t have to do anything.
- Layers – and possibly an extra pair of socks 😉 It can be nice to remove some clothing – both because of the temperature and because of the exercises, but of course it is not mandatory. If you are someone who gets cold easily, it can be nice to pack an extra sweater and socks just to be comfortable.
