Question 1

How do you get consent with a blindfold on?

Accepted Answer

During practice, move slowly to check in with yourself and ensure consent moment by moment. Beforehand, you'll receive a detailed explanation, live demo, and Q&A. You can observe or step out anytime. Communicate through touch during practice and seek facilitator support if needed.

Question 2

How do you keep a “safe space”?

Accepted Answer

The practice is led by experienced Latihan practitioners, with 1-2 spaceholders (or more for larger groups) overseeing it. While we strive for a safer space, moving blindfolded can be triggering to some, so please take care of yourself. Observers are welcome, but personal safety comes first.

Question 3

Is this a erotic practice?

Accepted Answer

No. It can be sensual, sensuous, and erotic energy may arise, but we request that participants not intentionally generate erotic connection among one another. There should be no touch beneath clothing, or kissing in this practice.

Question 4

What happens if I need help while I am in the space?

Accepted Answer

You can ask for help anytime without disrupting others and are encouraged to prioritize your well-being. The demo will cover the process before we begin. You may find that slowing down helps and know you can ask for and receive support when needed.

Question 5

What is the policy around confidentiality?

Accepted Answer

We ask that you only share your own experiences from Latihan, avoiding mention of others or identifying details. If you recognize someone, like a regular partner, embrace the mystery. View the connection as transpersonal, keeping the encounter anonymous and unspoken.

Question 6

What if I have a really intense connection with someone? Can I get their contact info?

Accepted Answer

Confidentiality and anonymity are essential to Latihan’s power. By dropping agendas—especially those tied to romance—you can release concerns about “who” you connected with and instead focus on what the connection evoked within you. This allows for a deeper, agenda-free exploration.

Question 7

Do I have to bring a blindfold?

Accepted Answer

Nope! We will have them on hand for you. If you want to bring your own you are welcome to.

Question 8

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Stay clothed in at least shorts and a tank top/sports bra. Wear something comfortable for movement, and consider knee pads if you'll be on the floor. Latihan may involve touch, so dress appropriately, covering private areas. Minimal jewelry is recommended to avoid distractions.

Question 9

How long does it last?

Accepted Answer

The evening will last for two and a half hours, and the practice itself will last approximately one hour.

Question 10

Can I take breaks?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can pause your practice at any time if you need a break or to go use the restroom, the facilitators will explain how to leave the space mindfully so as not to disturb the group.

Question 11

Do I have to participate after the introduction or don't feel its for me?

Accepted Answer

You are always at full choice and if after the introduction you decide to sit out and simply observe that is totally okay. Follow your bliss.
