WORKSHOPS

I consider myself an explorer in the field of erotic and interpersonal encounters. Developing new forms of touch and creative ways of experiencing intimacy, and to experience one’s self that way, is thrilling and full of pleasure.
Awareness leads to fulfillment. My curiosity and desire to experience new things has led me to share my journeys of exploration and my knowledge with others.
I offer workshops and seminars on the topics of sexual research, risk-conscious BDSM, bondage and tantra, consensus, touch and intimacy, improvisation and body work in Berlin and within and outside Germany.
Upon request I also offer individual workshops and coaching on bondage and BDSM, and/or massage sessions for individuals and small groups. Please contact me for further info. Please contact me.

Inquiries about live workshops & retreats
My wonderful workshop organizer Tanja is also available by phone for all content-related and organizational questions about our live events. Please send inquiries to marlen.assistant@gmail.com. We look forward to you! 🙂

Marlen Online
Compared to a face-to-face workshop, you don’t have to travel or be in a room with a group of other people – the ideal solution for anyone who doesn’t want to or can’t go to a live event for a variety of reasons or barriers. I am present online, hold the space, support and help and you can fully concentrate on yourself and your process or your intimate research. If you also want to attend live workshops with me, the contents usually dovetail perfectly :-).
Year Groups
Take a journey though the different secret gardens in Marlen’s world. Let’s discover, learn, experience, feel, explore – with scheduled dates throughout the year. Joining in at a later date is also possible.
Retreats
Enjoy some extended time-off – and engage with others in mindfulness, connection, exploration, and breaking new ground. We retreat from everyday life for a week, recharge our batteries, take care of ourselves, learn new skills and spend an intense time together.
Workshops: Earth, Wind & Fire
Learn more about your needs and boundaries in the areas of touch, BDSM play, bondage and sexual communication. In creative weekend workshops we explore the different qualities of sensual touch and its echo in the body.
Workshops with a focus on: Bondage
Find out what you like about bondage…. In this “teaser” workshop we will experiment with rope and feel our way in to different forms of bondage: sexy, aesthetic, playful, heart-opening, meditative, scary, technical, rough or tender.
Workshops with a focus on: Identity
Discover the joy of your own body, your own lust, the play with identity and desire. Feel safe and allow yourself to arrive. Together we explore our bodies, our thinking and our sexual fantasies in a safe space.
Workshops with a focus on: BDSM
Find new, creative ways of sexuality and encountering others – we’ll experiment with mental and physical power, learn useful techniques, and work out the awareness it takes to play safely, courageously, and approachably.
