UNAPOLOGETIC
UNAPOLOGETIC
A two-part immersive celebration of playful sensuality, eros, and artistic self-expression.
Have you ever silenced a desire because it felt “too much”?
Have you ever hesitated to ask for what you really want — or to say no when you didn’t?
Have you ever felt the tension between the person you are inside and the one you allow others to see?
UNAPOLOGETIC is a space to stop shrinking.
A day to meet your body, your desires, and your creative fire — without shame, without performance, without apology.
It’s a journey into the art of being real: sensing, playing, connecting, creating.
Here, eros meets art, consent meets curiosity, and pleasure meets presence.
You’re invited to explore the wide spectrum of your expression — from tenderness to rawness, from stillness to movement, from drawing to dancing, from sensuality to sexuality.
Everything is guided, co-created, and infused with artistry, consent, and care.

THE JOURNEY
2PM: Phase 1 — Awakening the Field
We begin by arriving in our bodies and meeting each other through curiosity and play.
We’ll warm the space with games that awaken presence, consent, and connection — from laughter to gentle vulnerability.
You’ll explore through movement, touch, sensory rituals, and visual art; a sensual ecstatic dance guided by our guest artist Pouvoir Magique will invite your body into rhythm and fluidity.
As safety grows, nudity may appear gradually — always optional, never expected — inviting a natural freedom of being.
7PM-11PM: Phase 2 — The Temple Night
As night falls, the loft transforms into a Temple of expression — a living artwork of sound, movement, and eros.
After a short guided ritual, the space opens into free flow: dance, connection, sensual play, witnessing, and stillness.
Sexual expression is welcome within clear boundaries — excluding immersing penises into vaginas or anuses — ensuring a field where erotic energy can unfold freely and safely.
The Temple vibrates with the immersive sound journey of Pouvoir Magique, whose hypnotic blend of cinematic and tribal beats will hold and elevate your experience through waves of intensity and surrender.

THE ATMOSPHERE
Tea & cacao sanctuary – a gentle space for warmth and grounding
Fresh fruits & light nourishing snacks
Art materials for spontaneous creation – paint, draw, craft your inner visions
Altar for deeper self-reflection and calm
Sensorium & chill zones – rest, breathe, touch, or simply be
Between the two phases, we share a co-created potluck dinner — each person bringing a dish to nourish body and community.
This shared meal is part of the co-creation that makes UNAPOLOGETIC alive: we build the experience together, through food, art, and presence.
DRESS CODE
Daytime: comfy, casual clothing for ease of movement and creative play.
Evening (Temple): dress up to express — something curious, sensual, or artistic: jewelry, hats, bold colors, playful lingerie, or simply your skin.
Nudity remains welcome and optional throughout the event.

OUR SHARED CULTURE
UNAPOLOGETIC is not something you attend — it’s something we build together.
Each person brings their presence, awareness, and courage to co-create a field where freedom, clarity, and care can coexist.
Sovereignty
You are the only one who knows what your experience is about.
Listen to your body, voice your needs and desires, and meet others as equals — sovereign beings.
Integrity
You are responsible for your physical, emotional, sexual, and spiritual well-being.
Respect others’ integrity. When in doubt — ask.
Permission
Allow all your parts to be present — tender, shy, wild, playful, awkward, ecstatic — without apology.
Here, nothing needs to be performed or justified. Expression and stillness are equally valid.
Synergy
Let your expression be part of the shared field — not dominating it, but enriching it.
We invite you to care for the collective as much as for yourself, co-creating an atmosphere of mutual attunement.
Co-creation
This gathering is born from participation, not consumption.
Every gesture — whether dancing, painting, connecting, or resting — contributes to the shared artwork we’re making together.
Your clear NO is as sacred as your YES.
Consent is essential. Nothing happens without it — not touch, not words, not gaze.
No penetrative genital contact — no immersing penises into vaginas or anuses.
Safer sexuality: a safer-sex box with condoms, gloves, and barriers will be provided, but please bring your own preferred materials.
Lube and sex toys are welcome if used safely and respectfully.
As a gesture of collective care, we invite everyone to take an STI test about one week before the event.
Touch, nudity, and erotic play are always by mutual consent and at your own pace.
Substances: this is a sober event — no alcohol or recreational substances/drugs.
Respect for all bodies, genders, and orientations. Harassment, discrimination, or boundary-crossing will not be tolerated.
Anyone violating these rules may be asked to leave.
Respecting privacy. To protect privacy and presence, phones and cameras remain outside the main space. In addition, do not reveal the name(s) or action of other participants outside of the container.

FAQ
What do I wear?
Comfy clothes for the first part; for the Temple Night, dress up to express!
Your outfit — or lack of it — becomes part of your art. Choose what helps your body feel sensual, creative, and alive. Express your inner artist, we all have it!
Is sexuality welcome?
Yes — many expressions of sexuality are welcome.
We invite creative, consensual, non-penetrative erotic play to move beyond fixed scripts and open to new forms of connection.
What does consent mean here?
Consent is the foundation of our shared culture — it’s how we create safety, trust, and freedom together.
We like to remember it through FRIES (yes, like the food):
F – Freely given: a real “yes” only happens without pressure, guilt, or persuasion.
R – Reversible: you can change your mind anytime — even in the middle of something.
I – Informed: you know exactly what you’re saying yes (or no) to.
E – Enthusiastic: a “yes” is joyful and alive — knowing that everyone expresses excitement differently. If you hear a “maybe” — slow down, explore, clarify.
S – Specific: a yes to one thing doesn’t mean a yes to everything else.
Consent means making clear asks and expressing clear boundaries, always with care and presence.
How do you ensure safety?
No space is absolutely safe, but we will promote and facilitate a safer space.
We are trauma-informed facilitators, supported by assistants throughout the day.
A quiet room for silence and emotional regulation will be available at all times if you need to pause or integrate.
Can I come with my partner(s)?
Yes — come with lovers, friends, or partners.
Take time beforehand to clarify your intentions and boundaries.
We do not prioritize couples; our focus is on collective flow, becoming an attuned organism all together.
Is there a screening process?
Yes. Every participant fills in a questionnaire before registration.
This allows us to balance the group between beginners and experienced participants, and to welcome those who share the event’s values and readiness.
There is no bypassing this process — it’s part of how we keep the space safe and aligned.
Is this a religious space?
No. When we use words like temple or prayer, we speak of the sacredness of human connection and erotic creativity — not religion.
What if I don’t feel sexual or joyful after all?
That’s completely fine.
Your stillness, sadness, anger, or neutrality are all welcome. Different zones will support different emotional states.
Accessibility (PMR)
Unfortunately, the loft is not wheelchair-accessible (pas adapté aux PMR).
If you have specific accessibility needs, please contact us — we’ll do our best to support you.
What if my English is not so good?
Don't worry the space can be navigated with low skills in English. Direct interactions with participants and us (team) can happen in French - and also German, Russian and Spanish ;-)

Is there a quiet / decompression space?
Yes — a room for silence, rest, and emotional regulation is available all day and evening.

No. To protect privacy and presence, phones and cameras remain outside the main space.
