What does it look like to live a pleasure-centered life?
In this workshop, we will explore pleasure as a concept, life-style, and path to sexual liberation and empowerment. We will discuss the ways we experience pleasure, what brings us pleasure, and how to advocate for our own pleasure during sexual encounters. Participants will walk away with tangible skills and action items to live a sexually empowered, pleasure filled life.
Intended audience: The workshop is appropriate for people in high school and older. It is specifically meant to be a safe space for those who have their access to pleasure limited by society, such as women, survivors of sexual violence, BIPOC folks, and queer and trans people.

Sexuality and health education that includes pleasure is essential to ensuring that all people have life-giving, satisfying sexual experiences, yet pleasure is a topic too often neglected, or focused on straight, cis-gender white men. Pleasure activism advances equity of all people, giving those whose pleasure is often neglected the information, skills, and recognition they need to live a pleasure-filled, sexually fulfilling life.”
