Maeve Johnson

Sometimes we wanna talk dirty but we don’t know where to begin. Sometimes we crave a specific touch but we don’t know which one. Sometimes we feel like desire is something we can only experience in the heat of the moment with that one special person we met in a Hollywood movie. In this workshop Maeve will share compositional strategies using tarot cards to both write dirty stories and access sexual desires through mapping and sharing them collectively.

How to participate?

The event is open to everyone who is willing to explore erotic storytelling with a group. Depending on group dynamics and time, the final section of the workshop may also involve exploring these stories together consensually through conversation, gesture and potentially touch.

The event is open to participants with any – including no – level of knowledge about tarot cards or experience with erotic storytelling. If you have tarot cards, however, you are welcome to bring them to compose with on your own or share with in the group. If you want to bring other sources of erotic inspiration please do! But all that is really necessarily is curiosity, openness and playfulness.

    Accessibility

  • Duration: 3 hours with breaks

    Language: spoken English
    You can compose your stories in any other language. Maive also speaks German reasonably well.

    Possible barriers:
    The workshop takes place through image and spoken text, however Maeve is very happy to describe the images to visually impaired participants or to modulate the type of spoken language to suit different linguistic needs. Guide dogs are very welcome! Likewise all neurotypes are very welcome and we can together figure out what might work in terms of stimulation and attention. There will be a quiet corner to take breaks or close off from overstimulation.

    Content note:
    The workshop centers sexuality and intimacy and as a result could be potentially triggering. Please note, Maeve is neither a trauma specialist nor a sexual therapist and the sessions constitute a momentary artistic collaboration so we will have to look after each other as best we can while acknowledging we don’t know each other’s hurt places and triggers. All activities will be based on consent with Maeve and the fellow participants but of course there will be a degree of se
