Taboo Cafe

AtBernadette.Work, we play with words, but that doesn't mean the experiences we create stay in the mind.We love embodied words. We welcome them. We foster them.We like to play in the realm of unknown and taboo; of ego death and seemingly impossible to solve issues.Yes, all that with play. Most of our events include a lot of games in which you are learning tons about yourself and life without realising. The point of our events is not to provide yet another lofty set of concepts but to create spaces where people can enjoy themselves and discover who they are in a different setup.In all of our events, every section/game is an invitation.Self-responsibility and consent are key. We want you to check with yourself and determine whether you are a full yes. You are welcome to decline your participation in a section/game. Please consult with the facilitator(s) for alternatives or how to rejoin a section/game at a later time.We are an inclusive spacewhere all races, cultures, genders, sexual preferences, age, etc are welcome. Please do not hesitate in contacting us if you are unsure we are providing what you need to be present during one of our events. We listen.We are a confidential space.You are welcome to share your personal experience outisde the event. However,  your participation in one of our events is the confirmation that you agree to avoid discussing outside of the event what is said in any way that could identify other participants. Your participation also confirms your agreement to respect the boundaries set for the event and to be (very lovingly) reminded or verbally adjusted, should you breach those boundaries.Although we cannot guarantee anyone's safety during one of our events (nothing and nobody can)we do strive to foster safe spacesfor play, sharing, love, freedom, boundary exploration, dialogue, self-discovery, consciousness exploration, wellness, intimacy, connection, friendship and relating for conscious consentingADULTSwilling to take responsibility of their own experience and wellbeing. We invite participants of our event to communicate at any point with the facilitator(s), should they need extra support.As some of our events deal with intense topics that can release a lot of energy,self-care is paramount. Please ask the facilitator(s) for suggestions about how to come down pleasurably after the event.Additionally,we reserve the right to refuse admission in order to maintain the boundaries we aim to hold. We love everyone as they are and we are very aware we are human (i.e. limited beings) and we don't always have the capacity to provide the right space for everyone.You can contactBernadette.Workif you have any questions.

Gathering to play communication games and discuss taboo topics in a confidential, loving and approving environment

Forget about the battles of reasons and insults on social media, there are ways to express oneself and receive what others have to say whilst having fun and feeling held and connected. This is what Taboo Cafe is all about; a space for people who want to go beyond small talk and who love deep and frank conversations.Taboo Cafe is <ul><li>A facilitated event with clear boundaries</li><li>A confidential space focused on communication and connection </li><li>A non-judgmental and loving environment</li><li>A playful venue for people to express their deepest feelings, desires and concerns</li><li>A set of simple and powerful communication games where participants are invited to participate as little or as much as they want (no games are compulsory and all games can be adjusted to suit a particular need).</li></ul>Through playful interactions and deep attention, participants of Taboo Cafe can touch on topics that are hardly ever addressed in polite conversation without igniting fights or deep upsets. From sexuality to anger, relationships, money, death and emotional distress passing by showing-off, gender and race; Taboo Cafe attendees are well held and encouraged to be vulnerable and allow themselves to be seen and listened as well as to see and to listen to others in their purest selves.There is no need to prepare for this event. 
We reserve the right to refuse admission in order to maintain the boundaries we aim to hold. We love everyone as they are and we are very aware we are human (i.e. limited beings) and we don't always have the capacity to provide the right space for everyone.
