WHY PLEASURE? WHY NOW?

Living in this moment in the UK is to witness how disarmed we stand before state violence. Our real needs for clean water, food, shelter, safety, dignity and belonging are subject to organised abandonment through the cost of living crisis, the housing crisis, ongoing pollution and privatisation, as well as state policies and investments designed to alienate, oppress and strip people of safety, dignity and belonging.

Here, pleasure is a crucial self-defense strategy within the bigger project of visionary world-building. We need access to pleasure and joy in our bodies so we don’t turn away from the collapse. Pleasure Gardening grew out of personal experiences of finding states of purpose, alignment, aliveness, and flow through devotion to loving bodily connection.


THIS IS FOR YOU, IF YOU’D LIKE TO

- sit with a committed group of people for seven weeks;
- get nerdy about aliveness, sensation, sex, desire, healing, and breaking;
- make art of our lives and bodies!
- find supportive witnessing for your struggles and your victories;
- have a structure for explorations that can feel so structureless; 
- talk about taboo things openly and with love;
- find catharsis! be patient with comedowns and transitions;
- learn that there is a place made of people who value what you do, and from that place to act courageously in the world.
