Workshop of Divergent Bodies

This performative and immersive workshop invites you to explore the intersections of human neurodiversity. It reveals how somatic practices allow us to embody and express different experiences and find pleasure in communicating with and through the body. You are invited to create a space 'From Different Bodies' that celebrates the pleasure of exploring movement, dance and somatic practices, discovering their role beyond performative spaces - creating places of collective healing and the expression and embodiment of identities, […]

Silent Reading Circle

No discussions, no questions, no lists of must-read books. Just the shade of trees, a book and a group of like-minded people. We will have a 15-minute break during the meeting to share our impressions of the book we are reading with our neighbour. However, it is not obligatory if you don't feel like it. Just bring your own book (BYOBook) and let's immerse ourselves in quiet conversation with a book for a while. Who: LBT book club When: Saturday, July 27th 3.30-5pm Where: the gardens and fields.

5 km run

An easy 5km run enjoying the countryside and the sounds of nature. The run will be led by Marija Mar, an enthusiast of various sports (cycling, running, tennis, boxing). Although she is not a professional in any sport, being active is the most fun option for her. Marija is currently training for her first half-marathon and invites all of us to join for a run during the festival.

Sapfo swap – freeshop

Always wanted to try on high heels but couldn't find a size 45? Got a retired binder that's worth its weight in gold to someone? Or just don't have the space for jackets in your closet that could turn a casual-looking girl into the toughest butch in town? Treat your pals with clothes, accessories and shoes that are no longer worn but worth sharing! We invite you to bring good quality, wearable and usable items that will be queer discoveries or spectacular festival outfits for someone. Please don't bring torn, worn and throw-away items - the textile container is closer than the SapfoFest camp ;).

Orgasmic ecology manifesto: how can our subversive sexualities fuel an ecofeminist revolution?

After a 30-minute presentation to highlight the links between nature and queer pleasure, we will discuss and reflect together on how we can create our own proud, rustic, queer utopia. We will write down our craziest ideas and create a sapphic and ecofeminist manifesto together! Lesbian penguins, pansexual bonobos, plants that go from male to female, flowers that masturbate: the biological sciences are full of examples that challenge heteronormativity. Psychiatry and [...]

Readings "erotica"

I want to celebrate pleasure, I want to delve into its many facets and expressions. One of the expressions of pleasure is erotic literature, reading and listening to it. I invite you to a reading of Liz Asch's YOUR SALT ON MY LIPS: (mostly) queer erotica in a circle. Those who wish will give voice to these passionate stories, giving others the opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich literary world of desire and connection. Through compelling narrative and sensual prose, author Liz Asch beautifully weaves together pleasure and eroticism, offering a deep and intimate look at the queer experience. Whoever wants to, will read; whoever wants to, will listen. Let the person who reads excite us.

Shibari workshop 'Depth of Touch'

Concept: Shibari is the art of communication and body language, the transmission of sensations to a partner through a rope. It is a technique based on a sensory-tactile effect on the partner's body, creating patterns of the rope and revealing the aesthetic-erotic aspect of the composition, thus releasing the emotional component between the partners. The rope is a kind of barrier, something that binds us and at the same time releases the feelings and emotions that our bodies hide in our ordinary life. The rope that envelops the body gives a feeling of freedom and an infinite expansion of oneself, one's desires and thoughts.

Pleasure and harm reduction

The workshop is designed to increase knowledge about psychoactive substances, the culture around them and to share harm reduction practices. We will try to approach this often stigmatised and mythical topic with as little taboo as possible, in a horizontal and human way. Who: Kaspar. When: Saturday, 27 July, 4-5.30pm. Where: White Tent
