About This Event

Quirky Co-Labs presents Power Play, an 18+ education event, at August_21 Coffee House in Edinburgh on 22 November 2026. The day includes four workshops and seminars focused on kink skills, communication and building joyful scenes. Participants can expect practical tools, open dialogue with educators and a break for lunch. Tickets range from £15.00 to £76.55.

This is day 2 of an education weekend which is about more than simply “making scenes hot” It’s about building joy, communication and respect

Whether you're just getting deep with your play or an experienced kinkster looking to refine your skills, our day two event will help you create scenes that are uniquely yours, hot, fun, and deeply satisfying. Bring your creativity, an open mind, and a willingness to play!

Your ticket is access to a full day of education including four amazing seminars, and open forum dialogue with world class educators. There will be a mix of practical tools and playful wisdom, with a break for lunch and a relaxed flow.

Our journey together will follow the path of the following four workshops:

From Spark to Release: Co-Creating and Negotiating Scenes that Flow

Discover how to use verbal and nonverbal information to identify what makes a scene hot for both you and your partner(s), crafting a dynamic and satisfying play experience for all involved.

Intuitive Topping and the Satisfying Struggle

In this immersive, skills-based class, we’ll explore how to become a more intuitive, responsive, and connected top by learning to decode the nonverbal cues of your play partner.

The Everyday Dominant: Embracing D/s Dynamics Beyond the Bedroom

This practical class explores D/s beyond scene time: rituals, rules, tasks, service, accountability, affection, protocol, and intentional power exchange in ordinary life. It focuses on building dynamics that fit real people, real schedules, changing needs, emotional labour, and consent.

The Psychology of Power: Exploring Erotic Humiliation

An advanced consent-forward class on humiliation play as negotiated psychological and emotional intensity. Humiliation play is not about carelessly targeting wounds. It is about understanding what is being touched, why it is being touched, how it is negotiated, and how participants come back afterward.

Who is our event open to?

This event is strictly 18+, and if you're lucky enough to look under 25 we may ask to verify your ID upon arrival. This event is tailored for humans of all experience levels, genders, relationship styles, couples, singles, throuples, packs, anyone exploring or practicing ethical non-monogamy. Whether you're a seasoned polyamorous practitioner looking to deepen your understanding, or a curious newcomer seeking guidance, all are welcome.

The focus is education, skills and reflection. This event is not therapy, counseling, mediation, nor clinical intervention.
