FAQs

Is this a "Sex Party"?

We realize that in some communities the term "play" may indicate some form of sexy party. While there may be some sexy people present (yes YOU), and we are sex positive people, this is not a sex party.

Is there nudity? I saw something about topless..

While wrestling you may find yourself overheated and want to remove some layers. We welcome all genders to be topless if desired, but we request that bottoms stay on. Additionally, some event locations may have a hot tub. If that is the case, the hot tubs are usually "clothing optional", so there is a chance you will see naked bodies- you know- like the way we were all born. 

What if I just want to watch?

Totally fine! You are always at choice! Some folks come just to hang on the sidelines, enjoy the energy, cuddle, and connect with others. If you change your mind you can jump into the ring. 

I'm afraid to get hurt wrestling..

We get it- so are we! Unlike traditional wresting, this event is not about winning or losing or even dominating an opponent. This is an opportunity for folks to move energy. That may look different for each person and you get to choose what works for you. With that in mind, you will have the option to wrestle to the level of your comfort. There is a more gentle ring for those just wanting to do some light rolling around. And there is a more assertive ring, for those wanting to really push against someone else and release more aggressive energy. We will also cover safe words, and how to tap out if you want to stop at any moment.

Am I too old to wrestle and play?

We believe you're are never too old to play! And its "never to late to have a happy childhood". Many of us grew up too fast and missed out on play as a child. Or some of us have some wounding around play. This is an opportunity to explore these areas and perhaps have a new healing experience! Inner children of all ages are welcome! We've had folks come in their 20's and folks come who are in their 70's.  

What's the structure like?

  • The doors open at 1:30pm with some time to socialize and snack.
  • Our opening circle will begin promptly at 2:30pm (please be on time for this to help set a safe container for everyone)
  • Then we will have warm-ups, wrestle and play activities, an "asking for what you want" circle, and a closing circle/cuddle puddle. 
  • We will play until about 6:30pm, with a couple short breaks in between.
  • Potluck, Conversations, and Cuddles will continue until about 7:30pm.


About your hosts, Tori & Troy

Tori

Hi, I'm Tori and I can't wait to play with you!   I just turned 40 and I'm having my 2nd childhood! 

If you really knew me you would know that I took on a lot of responsibility at an early age due to being raised by a single mother who was mentally ill and an alcoholic. I became a mini caregiver for my mother and siblings and thus grew up way too fast. 

Life was unstable and since we moved around a lot, I found myself having to make new friends often. I'm originally from NY and I grew up there, Texas, and New Mexico. Being the "new kid" isn't always easy, and I often found myself feeling excluded. It didn't help that I was kind of clumsy, had an accent, and being bi-racial, looked different from many of the other children. 

Luckily I have had the opportunity to heal and have lots of corrective experiences. I've learned to get silly and play in ways I never got to as a child. It's why I love the quote,"It's never too late to have a happy childhood".

Come Play with us!

Troy

My challenge around play has been with allowing myself to be playful. I was led to believe early on in life that acting playfully was largely synonymous with "acting gay," which was apparently a very bad thing and I should avoid at all costs if I wanted friends and to be accepted. 

I was scared to death of people thinking I might be gay, so I didn't dare dance, act silly, or be emotionally expressive. I stuck to "manly activities" like team sports. It's only been in the last couple years that I've began to dance and explore my playful side, and it's been incredibly healing and liberating! 

And now I'm helping to lead workshops on play and assist others in their liberation, and I'm in a relationship with one the most playful people I know! I've also discovered how liberating it is to laugh, especially at myself.
