a tessakin practice

embers

the slow burn, deeper. one name, two ways to play, on your phone together or across a table with the people you keep close.

embers, an intimacy practice for two

an on-demand practice taken at your own pace. set a comfort boundary first, draw three prompts, quietly choose the two you would explore. the invitation you both reach for is the one you play.

  1. 01

    set the edge

    each of you sets how far tonight can go before you begin. nothing jumps past it without a yes from both.

  2. 02

    draw and choose

    three prompts appear. you each privately pick the two you are drawn to. the most-wanted one opens. the rest stay unseen, so no one gets turned down.

  3. 03

    go deeper, together

    move through warm, close, intimate, after dark, one tier at a time. a single “not yet” keeps the night right where it is.

warmcloseintimateafter dark

unrecorded by default. keep a night in your shared history only if you both choose to.
