Reviews
A different experience for me being paired up with my partner for all the interesting exercises, building more connection with her & identifying gaps to work on. And she does not want to be a princess.
Viktoria’s facilitation created a safe space to explore deeper parts of myself and my connection with others.
Many times my intitial response was “Oh god, I don’t think I can be/do that.” And then I chose to go ahead and do it anyway. To my surprise, I was better at the game than expected and I had more fun once I was “in it”. Super fun and empowering.
As a life-long giver, I never had the opportunity to communicate how I want to be pleased. Dare to be Adventurous, has given me the ability to speak about my desires and pleasures. Thank you Viktoria.
These exercises make you more open and authentic, getting you closer to your true self.
Viktoria embodies what she teaches. This enables everyone to feel connected & safe. The practice for me was very aligned and affirming for how I live my life. I highly recommend this workshop event (and Viktoria) to everyone.
It was affirming, because I like people to be authentic. Every exercise had a meaning of who I am. Very powerful!
It was fun to play and connect in so many different ways with so many different people. Thank you for making such an easeful space to connect.
A safe and fun environment was created where we were guided through an evening of really enjoyable dark tantra exercises similar to speed dates. Before starting each exercise, you and your partner set personal limits and boundaries. This allowed you to make a real connection with your partner. The evening was an enjoyable way to meet new people.
Thank you for hosting such an enjoyable evening. Looking forward to future events.
Heart to heart hugs.
Easy activities that were modifiable with different energetic bodies – thumbs up!
Just overall good fun
Loved meeting different people and had the opportunity to discuss and experience level 1 [exercises of relating] with various personalities. With each new partner and activity, the anticipation was as tantalizing as the act of doing them. I learned much about myself and was able to breakthrough my comfort zone and discovered my boundaries. Thank you
A great way for me to identify my role in intimate relationship dynamics, all done in a fun, friendly and safe environment. Two thumbs up! Look forward to the next one.
I enjoyed connecting with lots of different people, feeling their energy and interacting with them. It was a safe, yet interesting and stimulating environment.
Thanks Viktoria!
It was good practice to honestly verbalize what I wanted, and I can see how important that is to intimacy.
I didn’t know I could 100% let loose and give into the experience fully. Interesting!!
I really loved this session it was great to experience a different way to connect with another person.
I was really anxious going into this. I ended up being grounded and I found some clarity about my own anxiety. What my trust issues ad what I need to feel safe.
“Let go of control.”
I truly enjoyed the event.
Usually I am a [giver] but opted to be a [receiver] during the exercises. A safe environment was provided that allowed me to be open to explore this side of myself. Each activity had us check in with our partner ensuring we were grounded and ready to engage, modify or discuss the activity as well as check each other’s boundaries.
The exercises progressed from vanilla to grey over the evening. You know it was good fun when 2 hours felt like 15 minutes. By the end of the exercises my emotional and energy levels were way up.
Looking forward to Level 2.
I highly recommend Viktoria’s evenings! They are always exciting and with a sense of adventure! Always a great time, never a dull moment, and always something surprising and new to learn! I’ve done many wonderful learning and socializing and playing sessions led by Viktoria! She’s the bomb!
Being a natural giver I learned that I tend to take charge of situations at the detrement of meeting my own needs. Often not even knowing what those are. Opening up about this through play and conversation lead to this discovery.
It was a unique opportunity to connect with people at different levels. Realizing, more real life experiences like this are needed. Thank you Viktoria for this memorable experience.
I love the opportunty to connect with other humans in openess and authenticity.
It was enlightening and empowerig. It was nice to learn to establish boundaries within my comfort zone.
I really loved connecting with others in-person again. Doing authentic communication and touch exercises. Practicing asking, how and what I want and giving within other people’s boundaries.
This course helped me realize a-lot of things about myself and how I love touch and I feel challenged with the communication or speaking exercises. The energy of the group was amazing, respectful and magical. Thanks for organizing Viktoria!
In the path of self knowledge and experience like this just reaffirms the fact that connection, humanity & kindness will always open doors & windows anywhere, any how… Thanks!
Whatever nerves I had about trying a [Dare to be Adventurous event] were quickly alleviated by Viktoria’s skillful facilitation of this event. She was thoughtful and engaging and created a safe space for the group to really dive in. Just an amazing experience that allowed me to learn alot about myself in a fun and dynamic way. I can’t wait to engage in more beautiful and healing workshop experiences. Thank you for a delicious experience, see you soon.
Thank you for a wonderful event. It was good to see you again. Loved the learning. I feel more confident in asking for what I want in a relationship as well as in intimate play.
Until next time! Gracefully,

This was a beautiful and affirming experience of deepening connection with my partner. We learned something new about each other tonight.
As always, absolutely love Viktoria’s workshops /activities, it’s fabulous, the space she creates and holds for each one of us. Each and everytime! Thank you so very much for all of it xxx
I realized that it’s okay to change your mind. I practiced introspection. It was enlightening. Being a receiver when I’m naturally a giver was eye-opening. I realized I felt uncomfortable being observed and seen. Thank you Viktoria. This was wonderful & playful.

Viktoria has created a beautiful and safe experience for people to explore the world of tantra and kink in a loving and playful environment.
We were able to connect with others within our own comfort zones through engagement or by simply discussing different topics. This event allowed us to reconnect with our natural loving state and to play within our boundaries.
I was able to experience feelings of love, empathy and laughter with strangers who offered the same level of respect and curiosity towards myself.
Thank you! You are creating important community!

I liked that I could experiment in a safe regulated space it felt nice to have someone other than my lover run a feather over my face and not feel like I am being unfaithful. It was good to know I can feel pleasure with some one else.
Viktoria created an incredibly safe environment. She does a great deal of work to make everyone involved have a safe and good environment. I will happily return.
Thank you for a wonderful experience last night!
Bring on level 2!!
I was pleasantly surprised by your event – I like how it made me feel vulnerable, actually!
Thank You!

The Origin Story
The Ultimate Play & Connect Challenge is a passionate project that came together through the creative expression of the dynamic playfulloving team (Viktoria and associates).
Recognizing and identifying with clients, and personal experience that people are in: emotional pain; struggling; challenged by awkward social relating and lack of communication skills; and most importantly, unable to be fully present. Technology has not necessarily contributed to greater intimacy. It is the opposite. It has created distance and contraction within. You are not alone.
From this great need for deeper intimacy and genuine connection, the inspirational spark for learning events with a safe and fun container to support you and people like you. To show up fully, authentically, and be consciously present. We know that everyone has the ability to have the vibrant, healthy, and playful loving intimacy they desire.
This passion for greater intimacy helped in designing simple, quick and playful learning events. To help you integrate new relating and communication skills into your heart, body and mind in a deliciously fun way!
Viktoria is the founder and Bodacious Boss Babe of www.playfulloving.com and your workshop guide. She is a Holistic Love & Intimacy Specialist: Communication, Playfulness, Relationship & Sexual Wellness Coach, Counsellor & Confidante. For 15+ years, Viktoria has guided, trained and mentored individuals and couples. She is dedicated to creating safe and nurturing spaces for transformation, fun learning experiences, and practical guidelines for your success.
This is a creative new style of conscious relating. Using guided learning practices that help you quickly improve relationship and communication skills, through safe and playful exercises that support participants to be their best and most genuine selves.
