Join the MELT Collective, a kink-positive, sex-positive nonprofit social club, for a carefully curated event that is as playful and liberating as it is grounded in care, consent, and community wisdom.

Who is this for?

This event is for anyone who wants to explore intimate community— attending solo or with a partner or partners—whether you're seeking connection and adventure, or you're simply curious about play parties. We’ll create a supportive, consensual space to explore curiosity, play, and pleasure.

• This is a "don't do anything you don't want to do" and "only consensually do what you want to do" event.
• This is a substance and alcohol-free event.
• All genders, bodies, and orientations are welcome!

MELT Collective is for Responsible Humans who:

• are willing to express desires and boundaries;
• have an awareness and respect for their own and others’ boundaries;
• are able to offer listening and understanding to others;
• have skills to lean into discomfort;
• honor self and others;
• do not pressure others;
• clean up after themselves;
• and love fun!

Limited to 50 tickets!

What to expect?

The evening journey begins with an opening circle and guided group exercises to help you explore consent, desire, and sensation while forming meaningful connections. This sets the stage to freely ask for, and possibly find, what you want during playtime.

As warmth and connection build, the night will shift from structured facilitation to open play, where you can socialize, explore tasteshops, and negotiate scenes. Tasteshops are mini-workshops offered during open play that encourage interaction among members and may include demonstrations. Past tasteshops have included:

• Impact
• Rope
• Sensation Play
• Sensual Massage
• Erotic Devices

This event may evoke tenderness or discomfort, whether you’re new or experienced. Participants are encouraged to lean in, be vulnerable, and trust themselves. Facilitators and designated Angels will be available to provide support and grounding; but it's up to you to create your own adventure, ask for support as needed, and to explore and protect your boundaries.

We’ll conclude with a closing circle to process and share. Staying for the closing circle is strongly encouraged, as it completes the evening’s journey.
