Deepening Your Pleasure: The Politics of Pleasure and Re-claiming Sensuality
This workshop will focus on pleasure from a somatic, embodied perspective, and how getting in touch with our innate sensuality can deepen our relationship to our bodies and our sexuality. Pleasure is political, as Adrienne Maree Brown explores in her book Pleasure Activism, so we will look at the politics behind pleasure, which bodies are historically deemed worthy of pleasure, and how reclaiming pleasure and sensuality is inherently radical in our disembodied, capitalist world. By reclaiming pleasure and sensuality, we get to know our bodies better, can give more informed consent during partnered sex, and become more aware of, and in touch with, the language, desire, and needs of our body. I’ll offer some embodiment practices for deepening one’s connection to pleasure, as well as journal prompts and resources for continuing one’s exploration of pleasure after the workshop, so we can hopefully leave having learned how to work more pleasure into our everyday lives.
This workshop is offered asynchronously and the first Module will be shared on Monday, April 7, 2025.
