PLEASURE ACTIVISM: WORKSHOP SERIES
PLEASURE ACTIVISM: WORKSHOP SERIES
"How do we make social justice the most pleasurable human experience? How can we awaken within ourselves desires that make it impossible to settle for anything less than a fulfilling life? Adrienne Maree Brown finds the answer in something she calls "pleasure activism," a politics of healing and happiness [...]. Drawing on the black feminist tradition, she created new narratives about how politics can feel good and how what feels good always has a complex politics of its own."
Embark on a transformative journey with this alluring series of experiential workshops centered around Pleasure Activism! Inspired by the work of renown author and social justice activist Adrienne Maree Brown, and facilitated by Anna, a Hamburg-based sex and relationship counsellor, this empowering series invites you to explore, embrace, embody, and advocate for the liberating power of pleasure.
