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

When was the last time you saw your mum dancing naked? When was the last time you yourself danced with others without a smile, with a tear, screaming, shaking, jumping, striking, turning, awkward, stupid, like a monkey, like a drunken neighbour, like a little dog... like you, of whom you might be ashamed? Whom you would love to love, but you loathe. We will cleanse the disgust with movement, we will vomit it out through the shaking hair and drown it in the spell of rhythm.
