About the Workshop:
Embracing Pleasure: A Queer Self Love Workshop
Pleasure is important. It connects us to ourselves and the world around us, nourishes our mental health, and makes us feel alive! But if you look to mainstream society as your guide, you might think that pleasure is reserved for a very narrow set of people—cis, straight, white, thin, young, non-disabled folks (and above all, cis het men). Homophobia, transphobia, racism, fatphobia, ableism, etc. tell us that pleasure is not for us.
In this workshop, we'll explore how we can practice accepting—and even loving—our queer selves. Then we'll delve into how we can use this self-acceptance and self-love as a foundation for getting in touch with our pleasure. We'll ask: "What would it look like if I threw out everything I've been told that pleasure is supposed to look like, and embraced my most authentic pleasure?"This workshop is a rallying cry to queer folks. We deserve to feel good—and we're not going to stop until we overcome every obstacle in the way of our collective queer joy and pleasure!
About Pleasure Pie:
Pleasure Pie is a small activist organization based in Boston, MA. Our efforts center around combating sexual shame, promoting consent education, and supporting folks who are working toward intersectional liberation. We make alternative sexuality education materials (including zines, illustrations, and publications) and experiences (events, conversations, and workshops).​
Note: This workshop will be held indoors at Wild Child and takes a sex-positive, asexual-inclusive perspective on pleasure. Tickets include admission to the workshop. Wine will be available for purchase by the glass.
