(Open to women and welcoming to all humans)
Join us for an empowering, educational, and curiosity-sparking 3-part series where we explore the many facets of pleasure—and how to make it a priority in our lives. Each seminar blends engaging conversation with optional exploration stations, giving you the chance to learn, reflect, and, if you choose, try new practices in a safe and supportive environment.
Format:
Each seminar is 2 hours long, with doors opening 20 minutes before
the start. You can expect a seated event with light refreshments
(tea, small snacks, canned drinks). Sessions include a 45–75 minute
talk, 20–30 minutes for Q&A, and the possibility of up to 45
minutes of guided exploration activities—curated by your presenter,
