PLEASURE PRACTICE GROUP
online
Pleasure!!! I say we need more of it, especially in these trying times. Especially to discern between pleasure as a life-giving technology inside our miraculous bodies that makes us more capable and alive vs. the “never-enough” scarcity-driven pleasure-seeking manufactured by capitalism.
Pleasure Practice Group is a facilitated space and a collective field to recommit to pleasure, embodiment, play, the Erotic, and to expand our uses and practices of sexuality. And to feel some pleasure, yes!
Facilitated by soil.

Each week will highlight and explore a new topic. As the group evolves, the topics will be guided by the desires of the participants. We will stay connected via Discord for exxxtra pleasure research.
WHAT WILL WE DO?
Each session will contain:

2. mini-lecture to inspire next week’s practical exploration

HOW: We move at the speed of trust even if it means sloooooow growing of real pleasures, we value showing up as ourselves. Being real with feelings that come up is more important than having some kind of mentally pre-determined eXpEriENce.

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 belongin.
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.

We see PLEASURE & JOY as not emotions but an increase in one’s power to affect and be affected.
PLEASURE GARDENING is the capacity to do and feel more. As such it is connected to creativity and the embrace of uncertainty. TRUE PLEASURE does not always feel comfortable or easy, as this force transforms and reorients us and our relationships.
