Organised by Collective of Pleasure

We are a creative grassroots collective on a mission to empower people to unapologetically explore their pleasure. Through our workshops, events and creative productions we aim to question and transcend the norms and dogmas in intimacy, relationships, and sexuality.

We believe in creating a safer, braver, and more powerful space to connect to our unique needs and desires, to open conversations and smash societal taboo. We are pleasure activists and believe that pleasure is a birthright and an everyday essential that everyone should have access to.

Together, we want to build an inclusive community where diverse identities and stories are not only welcomed but celebrated. We strive to create a new blueprint for intimacy in which we redefine pleasure, transcend shame and step into our full pleasure potential.
