PLEASURE PERMISSION CIRCLE

Imagine with me into a queer space where you are being guided through a two hour self-pleasure experience that incorporates sensual movement, sensation play and self-touch. A space where you can be witnessed and witness others. A space that encourages play, discovery, erotic expression, embodiment and radical interdependent liberation.

"the best way to create a better world is to share space with those who are dreaming it and living it - thank you for this opportunity to learn in such a fun and embodied way"

- Mko BK (they/them), Hot Queer Summer Attendee 2022

THIS GATHERING IS FOR YOU IF,

You are 18+ years old and…

• You are currently in your pleasure reclamation journey and have been seeking a queer community space to explore in
• You are unlearning shame when it comes to embodying your erotic self and you want to practice liberating yourself from anti-erotic and anti-pleasure narratives
• You’re wanting a space to experiment with creative ways to self-pleasure
• You’re desiring the healing that can unfold when a group of people are giving each other permission to be their most expansive, erotic selves
• You are LGBTQ+ and/or BIPOC and you’re seeking a trauma-informed space that centers, celebrates and affirms your existence
• You are curious and open to the transformation that body-based/somatic practices and intuitive movement can elicit
• You just want to playyyyy + feel yummy in your own body!

"I have rarely felt so safe, so held, so encouraged to be fully embodied and pleasure-centered in a room of beautiful queer bodies and energies. Che Che is a vision and seeing their radiant smile and the community who gathered to celebrate was true medicine. Can't wait for the next one."

MY INTENTIONS FOR THOSE WHO ATTEND:

• You are given a container in which you can boldly practice unblending from the narratives of systemic oppression that are keeping you disconnected from living your most erotically free life
• You are provided with an opportunity to be both a permission-giver and permission-receiver
• You deepen understanding + mindfulness around what makes you feel good in your body
• You learn new self-pleasure practices that you can integrate into your everyday life
• You’re welcomed into an affirming, diverse container of refuge that welcomes the very parts of you that crave to be seen/felt/held

COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS:

• WHAT TO EXPECT: sensual dance prompts, guided self-pleasuring exercises, nudity, sexually explicit content
• CONSENT CONSENT CONSENT: Please do not sexualize other bodies unless you’ve gotten the explicit consent to do so by someone. There will be opportunities to use the chat box, but/and also, the focus is gonna remain on nonverbal body communication and the power of being permission-giving mirrors for each other. With all that said, in order to fully enjoy pleasure with others, we need safety, trust, willingness and excitement. I want this to be a space where we’re heard and supported when we say no or change our minds, and where we have our autonomy and choices celebrated.
• CONFIDENTIALITY: No phones or audio/video recording devices are allowed. If we see you taking photos or filming you will be asked to leave immediately. Please do not share any identifiable information about others outside of this container.
• GENDER NEUTRAL LANGUAGE: This is a beautiful gender diverse group. Please don't assume anyone's gender pronouns based on how someone looks, and use gender neutral terminology when addressing the group
• CENTER COMPASSION: We are all doing our best with the tools we have. There will be mess ups. Practice compassion for yourself and others in this process.
• NON-JUDGEMENT: In a culture that perpetuates comparison, judgment and competition with one another, let’s practice being mindful of these tendencies. Remember that all of us are working through biases + internalized oppression. Try to witness others' experiences, vulnerability and thriving without letting it invalidate your own. There is room for all of us. Please do not yuck anyone else's yum.
• TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF: You know what's best for you. You get to choose what level of intimacy feels most supportive to you. I invite you to take risks that stretch your comfort zone while honoring your limits + boundaries.
• DRESS CODE: Nudity is welcome! This is a space that invites bodies to be free bodies. With that being said, please do not sexualize other bodies unless you’ve gotten the explicit consent to do so by someone.
• ZERO DISCRIMINATION POLICY: Any harassment, discrimination, and bullying will result in being removed from this community space. Comments that degrade any gender, class, age, body, race, sexuality, religion, or abilities are not acceptable. Anyone acting out of alignment with the community agreements will be removed from the space immediately.

*By purchasing a ticket to this event, you are consenting to follow these community agreements

I want your pleasure to feel accessible, integrated and intimately yours.

I want to hold space for your deepest erotic truths to blossom.

I want to witness you come home to your body, your yes and your freedom.

Let’s get all turned on and hot for ourselves and each other!
