“IT WAS LIKE STEPPING OUT OF THE SOCIAL HUMAN CAGE”.

People are telling one another about us. We are wanting to develop modules now we have enough workshops.

The Bonobo Experience offers a welcome distraction to the rigid and sometimes harsh world of the human. Being in a Bonobo tribe opens us up to a shared experience of togetherness and help us understand our loneliness and how to reduce it.

This was an experiment as to wether people would include insects into there diet for the course of a retreat. I was plesently surprised by how comfortable people were about eating them. We shall include this as part of the bonobo experience retreats.

The wheel of consent is a diagram that has been created by the sexologist and intimacy coach Betty Martin. In a nutshell, the diagram is a tool that can be used by two or more people before engaging and conscious touch and intimacy. We have made our bonobo version of the wheel of consent which does not use words but sounds, hand signals and other playful and primal methods. Our goal is to help you develop other ways of consensually communicating and also to understand and read each other’s body language.

Bonobo bodywork style

This workshop is an opportunity to connect to your inner primal self and connect with your community the space will be held for you to experience being reborn as a bonobo and hang out with your fellow tribe. We will explore the beginnings of language through facial expressions hand signals and body language there will be the opportunity to massage using unconventional methods. Then we will move into a group space cultivating belonging and connection. This will be followed by an unable experience play party free-flowing sensuality and delight, a space for spontaneous and ritualistic acts of love and loss.

WITNESSED BY MALES MISTAKE WAS NOT STICKING TO DESIGNED WORKSHOP,

GROUPS WITH DOM FEMALES AND YOUNG FEMALE EXERCISE MALE AGGRESSOR COULD BE DOMINATED BY FEMALE GROUP, I DID NOT DO THIS.

A SHAME I BALED OUT. INSTEAD OPTED FOR OPEN PLAY WHICH WAS DIFFICULT, I MADE MISTAKE OF SAYING ‘MATING SEASON’ THIS WAS SOMETHING I DIDN’T WANT TO SAY.

THIS CHANGED THE SPACE TO A HUMAN SPACE, AND MATING IS FOR OFFSPRING. NOT A GOOD MOVE HAVE FEMALES RUN TBE IN HETEROSEXUAL SPACE, EMPOWERING THE SISTERHOOD, ALSO HAVE BONOBO’S THAT ARE SAFE GUARDING THAT PROCESS BY STIMULATING POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR

Very disappointing workshop nobody turned up. However I feel that what I have learnt is that we don’t run Bonobo workshops and events where people are going to be high. Very disappointed but will definitely consider what went wrong.
