Sub in the City

La Casa del kink

The Conscious Kink Retreat

Lisbon, Portugal

Friday 24th -Monday 27th April 2026

La Casa del Kink is returning to Lisbon in April 2026! Join Sub in the City for the ultimate weekend of conscious kink, where we’re extending an invitation to curious kinksters who wish to consciously explore what Kink means to them.

We’re inviting a limited number of people both solo and from a variety of constellations, to join us at a beautiful villa in Portugal, just 40 minutes from Lisbon, where we will share a gorgeous weekend together full of kinky education, connection, communication and socialising.

The eco-retreat we will call home for a long weekend features a variety of double bedrooms, single shared bedrooms and individual casitas (little houses) where you can enjoy your stay in peace and tranquility.

The weekend’s itinerary will include a carefully curated selection of kinky workshops, activities and personal coaching from Sub in the City and friends, including some guest facilitators that will allow you to take a deep dive into your desires.

Educational Workshops

From conscious communication, to practical skills in sensation play, bondage, building confidence in your body, exploring Dom/sub energy, and how to create exciting and fulfilling BDSM Scenes and dynamics, we’ll be doing a deep dive into some a wide variety of kinky topics to support you in your exploration. 

Please note, workshops are designed to suit all experience levels and can be tailored to suit your comfortability. You are not expected to partake in anything you don’t want to, and we will always have alternative options for you to explore.

Opening Cacao Ceremony

Start the weekend with a heart opening cacao ceremony led by Sarah. 

Cacao is a natural mood booster and heart opener that has been used for centuries in sacred rituals to connect to the heart space. As we drink this delicious chocolate and sink into a guided meditation by Sarah, we can allow ourselves to be open and seen in this beautiful space we are creating together.

In this space we will introduce ourselves, negotiate the rules and etiquette for the weekend, and set our intentions for the days ahead as we embark on a journey of learning and discovery.

Sensual Confidence and Body Admiration

Kick the workshops off with one of Sub in the City’s favourite sassy sensualists – BxSassy! 

This workshop will allow you to let loose, let go of any fears, insecurities or judgements, connect with your mind, body and soul, ready for a weekend of conscious exploration. 

A transformative journey of self-discovery and body connection. This workshop explores:

  • Mindful movement and body awareness
  • Identifying and releasing personal shame
  • Sensual movement techniques
  • Consensual self-touch and compassionate body massage
  • Guided partner touch exercises with explicit consent protocols

 

 

 

Erotic Impact & Sensation Play

Kick off day 2 with a deep dive into the world of pain and pleasure! 

Guided by Sarah and demonstrated by Master Carlos, we’ll explore the erotic art of impact and sensation play, including everything from tools, techniques, positions and skills to go on a journey of sensational pleasure. 

Impact is not always about who can strike the hardest! It can be incredibly sensual and erotic. We’ll show you how to explore different sensations safely and sensually. 

Master Carlos will also be available for mini guided sessions for anyone who would like to experience impact play from a Pro Dom.

UV Wax Play

Saturday night heats up as we turn each others bodies into glow in the dark masterpieces in our UV Wax Play Workshop! 

Explore the art of temperature play as Sarah and Master Carlos guide you through the art and skill of wax play under the UV lights. 

This is a fun, creative workshop that will bring out your artistic side. Will you go slow and sensual or enjoy the squirm of your partner as they wriggle beneath your flame? 

We use 100% soy wax which is body safe and designed for bondage, burning at a much lower temperature that does not burn, but simply melts deliciously onto the skin. 

Conscious Kink Scene Building

We begin to bring some structure to your play as we explore the art of creative scene building.

Learn the foundations of creating exciting play sessions in BDSM and how to consciously create a scene with intention. 

You’ll get to see a real life demo from Master Carlos and our House Sub, and start to think outside the box when it comes to coming up with your own ideas for play. 

This workshop will help you start to connect the dots regarding what you enjoy and how you want to experience play. 

Shibari Skills

Wrap up your learning by practicing some essential bondage skills that are sure to create deeper intimacy and connection in your play. 

Our guest facilitators will take you on an emotive journey of exploring rope as an extension of yourself, and as a way to convey or communicate intention. 

Whether tying with a partner or self-tying, this workshop is a beautiful expression of self exploration. 

 

Closing Fire Ceremony

As we close the weekend, we’ll gather once more, this time around the fire to share our stories and insights from our journey together.

This will be our chance to reflect, share and give thanks to one another for the time we’ve shared together.

Things usually get a little emosh on the last day, so tears and laughter are to be expected, and it’s a safe space to do so!

We’ll say our goodbyes, have one last drink together on our final night before departure the next morning.

Activities & Entertainment

As well as educational workshops we have a selection of kinky activities and entertainment that are a great way to enjoy some down time whilst still being engaged. 

Activities and performances are optional, but we encourage the group to enjoy these together just as much as the workshops! 

Kinky Life Drawing

Relax by the pool in the sunshine with a glass of wine and enjoy our Kinky Life Drawing Class. 

We encourage everyone to get involved, no matter how skilled at drawing you are. You can choose to draw, model or simply observe as you soak up the sunshine and enjoy the vibes. 

This is a great group bonding activity and a way to decompress between workshops, utilising our villa’s stunning grounds and pool. 

Sassy Sunrise Stretch

For the early birds in the group, you can join our wonderful BxSassy for a morning sassy stretch and flow on the yoga deck. 

Start your day feeling rejuvinated before a delicious breakfast cooked by our in-house chef! 

Explore the wonderful grounds this casa has to offer and prepare for a day of beautiful learning and exploration.

The Kinky Cabaret

The Sassy Strip and Tease: Cabaret Kink Experience 

Experience an electrifying performance celebrating self-expression and sensual confidence.

Featuring provocative dance, music, and a bold celebration of personal empowerment, BxSassy delights us once more with this evening cabaret experience that will ignite a fire in your belly and encourage you to get up a express your sassy self! 

Shibari Performance

End your weekend with an intense and mesmerising shibari performance that will leave you in awe. 

We’ll follow a journey of pain, pleasure, love and endurance featuring suspension and intentional bondage from a professional rigger and rope bunny. 

Think of this like the kinky opera – it’s immersive and raw and beautiful!

Who is this retreat for?

This retreat is for anyone who is curious about kink and serious about learning new skills, discovering their desires and connecting and having fun with like-minded people. 

We’re calling any solo kinksters looking to find their kinky tribe, groups of friends who want to build confidence on the scene together and duos, couples, triads, and any other constellations looking to connect to their kinks on a deeper level – this weekend retreat is the perfect place for you.

This retreat is for you if:

  • You’re curious about kink and open minded to learning new ways of connection
  • You’ve been exploring kink for a while and want to deepen your knowledge/exploration
  • You’re an experienced kinkster but want to dive deeper and connect/reconnect to yourself and/or your partner(s)
  • You want to consciously connect with new friends of all ages, genders and sexualities in a no-pressure environment
  • You want to make new friends on the kink scene 
  • You’re open to a mindful, conscious approach to life

This retreat is NOT for you if:

  • You’re not open minded and feel resistant to learn
  • You’re judgmental of certain kinks that are not your own
  • You’re looking for a sex party or place to hook up 
  • Difference and diversity makes you uncomfortable

Important note before you apply:

This retreat is about education, exploration and community.

This is NOT a play/sex party weekend.

We value respect and consent highly and have a strict no-tolerance policy for any inappropriate behaviour.

We will spend some time exploring the rules and etiquette for our time together during our opening ceremony.

During this weekend we encourage you to leave your expectations and preconceptions around sexuality at the door, and we can guarantee a rich and fulfilling weekend of exploring your desires with confidence, connecting and reconnecting to yourself and your partner(s) and making friends for life.

Testimonials from previous retreats

The Kink Retreat was one of the most nourishing, wholesome and kink aware experiences I've ever had. The location was stunning, the workshops taught me so much and there was a sense of community that I've been longing for. I loved how there was space and time for privacy as well as group activities which allowed for the perfect balance of relaxation, play and learning 🌼🌼 so grateful for the attention and care that Sarah and Carlos provided. Can't wait for next year!!
