the MELT Collective
Formerly known as the Surrender Play Party team.
The MELT Collective is a vibrant constellation of kinky, sex-positive facilitators passionate about curating spaces where erotic exploration meets deep intentionality. Based in Colorado, this group of experienced practitioners designs and facilitates conscious kink events that are as playful and liberating as they are grounded in care, consent, and community wisdom.
Facilitators
for the MELT events:
tATTOOED n nERDY
(she/her)
Tattooed N Nerdy is a total sex nerd, both personally and professionally. In her vanilla time, she provides education about kink, sexuality, consensual non-monogamy, intimacy, desire, and navigating trauma recovery. As a polyamorous relationship anarchist, she adores watching connections blossom into whatever they are, without expectation or obligation. Throughout all aspects of her life, she is an intersectional and sex-positive provocateur hoping to instigate thoughtful dialogue and dispel shame related to all things kinky and sexy.
Switchtext
(he/him)
Switchtext is a creative human and co-founder of Studio Friction. For years, he has passionately taught rope bondage, and delights in helping people discover its marvels. He is dedicated to fostering more pleasure and creativity in sensual spaces, viewing sexy parties as a form of artistic expression. A lifelong student of creativity, rope, connection, sensuality, and sexuality, Switchtext continues to explore strange places and share what he’s discovered.
Hawke & Marji
(he/him & any pronouns)
We share a commitment to fostering authentic connection, embodied consent, and informed exploration in alternative lifestyle spaces. With over 25 years of combined experience in presenting, educating, and facilitating, we bring complementary expertise in BDSM, consensual nonmonogamy, somatic awareness, and a wide range of edge and sensation-based modalities. Together, we formed Catalyzed Connections, a collaborative platform for workshops and events.

Testimonials
Heartfelt reflections from people who have attended our events.
“Femme Surrender was a sanctuary in a tender season of my life. I arrived seeking connection and left with so much more—affirmation, joy, and a profound sense of belonging. From playful workshops to spontaneous conversations and intimate moments of care, the space allowed me to feel fully seen and celebrated in my femme identity. I’m so grateful for the intentional container, the consent-forward energy, and the chance to move through it all with both independence and intimacy. I left feeling nourished, grounded, and alive.”

Femme Party Attendee
“I have been to three melt events. The first one I was so nervous. I almost didn’t walk in the door, but I am so glad that I did. The event is set up so intentionally and carefully that it creates a very fun and supportive environment. I’ve gotten to explore Kink and my sexual desires in a way that wouldn’t have been possible without this event. The facilitators are kind and thoughtful and skilled as well as passionate about the work they do. Thanks, Melt!”

“I really enjoyed the opening piece. As someone who is new to the kink and even ENM scene, it was very empowering and enlightening. Being able to meet folks in a very positive and safe space was really amazing. Mindfully learning about giving and receiving informed consent was truly awesome.”

“I had some experiences that turned me off to the kink scene, and was looking for a way to reengage that felt safer and more authentic. Melt is what I’ve been looking for. You are building something special here. Please keep doing these events.”
