JOURNEY INTO IMPACT PLAY: From Technique To Art (14.12.2025)

EARLY BIRD

until 30 November

Have you felt drawn to impact play, but still feel unsure how to bring out the best in this beautiful and ancient art of bodywork and pleasure? Maybe you’ve taken a few “quick” workshops here and there, yet still find yourself wondering what to actually do in those precious moments when someone offers their body to your floggers.

Then this workshop is for you.

Learn how the human body responds to impact, how pain is processed, and how to find that golden zone of intensity that leads to a juicy altered state of mind — the powerful and rewarding natural high.

Our main focus will be on the technique and art of flogging — a wonderfully diverse and nuanced practice that covers much of the impact play spectrum. However, the principles you’ll learn also apply to other forms of impact play, including whips, canes, paddles, wax play, and hand spanking.

What’s in it?

• We’ll begin with the essentials:

  • which areas of the body are safe to impact,

  • how different strokes create different sensations, and

  • how to bring clarity and purpose into a session.

• Then we’ll explore more advanced aspects such as

  • time course of the pain reaction,

  • skin reactions as indicators of the journey, and

  • best practices for communication during the pain high.

• We’ll also learn tantric breathing techniques as a way to deepen and enrich the experience and take it to the next level!

• We’ll be learning in a small group (maximum 12 participants), ensuring that everyone receives personal guidance, support, and the opportunity to enjoy the intimacy of a close, connected setting.

Throughout the workshop, you’ll have the chance to explore different floggers — trying them on yourself and on others — while learning techniques that are both safe and deeply impactful.

We’ll close with the opportunity for everyone to participate in a guided impact session with a partner — experiencing (on) both ends of the flogger.

At the end of the workshop you be able to:

• expand your reperoire of creating an impact experience with (and without!) a flogger

• “mix and match” the techniques and tips to consciously create the journey that you want to give or receive

• create the safest possible impact experience and be prepared for situations when things do not go as expected

• have experience both as a giver and as a receiver so that you know how “theory feels”

ABOUT THE FACILITATORS

Hekate from Soul Impact Berlin

Psychologist (PhD) & Professional Impact Player. Throughout her academic and personal journey, she experimented with the full spectrum of altered states — from holotropic breathing and hypnosis to ecstatic dance and the runner’s high. Her path culminated in a PhD in psychology, focused on how habits reshape the brain’s biochemistry.

Hekate’s approach combines psychological insights and the latest neuroscientific findings with playful experimentation. Rooted in science rather than spiritual jargon, her workshops are about the body’s natural ability to process sensation — practical, clear, empowering, and above all: fun. (Read more)
