ABOUT What does it truly mean to give and what does it mean to take? This workshop is for those who wish to deepen intimacy and explore desires with curiosity, mutual care, and a sense of play. Through playful embodied exercises, we will investigate how desire moves between us: how it is offered, received, claimed, resisted, and sometimes withheld. Dare to meet your own desires Using a simple and accessible framework inspired by the Wheel of Consent, we’ll look at the different qualities of giving and taking, not as fixed roles, but as fluid experiences that can shift from moment to moment. You’ll be invited to notice what genuinely feels nourishing, what feels performative or habitual, and where your own edges lie. WHAT YOU WILL EXPLORE Why receiving pleasure can feel so vulnerable, and what holds us back The often-overlooked pleasure of taking The difference between surrender and tolerating How to communicate our desires and boundaries with clarity and ease Through guided exercises, reflection, and playful interaction, you’ll gain practical tools for expressing your desires and boundaries with greater confidence and nuance. The focus is on cultivating presence, trust, and emotional precision, the foundations of truly satisfying play! THE EXPERTS: Alexander Ma Alexander Ma is a researcher, philosopher, and kink educator exploring presence, impact and power through consensual BDSM practices. His work is informed by his background in Japanese martial arts (Aikido) and his studies in Kinbaku. He holds a PhD and is the founder and editor-in-chief of Kinbaku Society of Berlin magazine. Natasha NawaTaNeko Natasha NawaTaNeko is a kink educator and somatic practitioner exploring embodiment, surrender, and intimacy through rope and BDSM. She is the author of Somatics for Rope Bottoms and teaches internationally, focusing on awareness, consent, and polarity in intimate relationships.

This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow. Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!

We're back in the upper levels of the catwalk area. It'll be packed with lots of camaraderie playing your game(s) and other's games on the 2nd floor. Light snacks and water provided but you can buy food and drinks at the bar (alcoholic drink ID required). [www.game-arena.co](http://www.game-arena.co/) **Attendees:** Don't have a game to show? Not a problem! All are welcomed and invited from all ages and backgrounds. The more we can have to play test our games is all the better! **Developers:** Do you have a game that you would like to get critical feedback on? Would you like an excuse to work on a game with other talented artists, programmers, musicians, designers, and writers? Digital, table-top, non-experienced developers, and the like are welcomed! We'll provide signage for your game to help others learn more about your work. Wifi, outlets, tables, and seats (though standing tables also) are available. Come to the Prototype and Play workshop to collaborate and meet local game developers for an evening of epic and raw game play fun! Play works-in-progress, show off your own game, work with others to add polish to a game, or even lend your talents to other fellow developers. For this event, light snacks from the bar and water will be provided! Though you can purchase you own if you like at the bar: [https://www.game-arena.co/menu](https://www.game-arena.co/menu) Can use South Garage at the Gateway with a $5 voucher on your way out. 75 E 11th Ave, Columbus, OH 43201 [https://maps.app.goo.gl/UwgveUYG37Jy7RtS9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/UwgveUYG37Jy7RtS9) If you have any questions or comments, as always, feel free to reach out to us at [info@thecogg.com!](http://info@thecogg.com!/)
