Benediction is a larp about Christian nuns in a medieval abbey: their thoughts and desires concerning eg. monastic life, visit from a priest, and each other. The game is very structured and the same phases (prayer, creating marginalia, dreaming aloud) repeat.

Players (of any gender) create their female characters freely, but the game encourages religious and sexual exploration (in speech; there may be light touching such as holding hands).

You can check the larp out beforehand at https://lodbeke.itch.io/benediction (not required). Minor spoilers on pages 6-7.

NOTE: The game is meant only for 18 or older attendees and all ages will be checked before the program item begins, so remember to have a valid ID with you!
