Erotic Abstinence with Natalia Je

The workshop will explore the erotic potential of abstaining from something one craves, deferral of pleasure, asceticism, uncertainty or even rejection.

We will pay attention to the subtle (or strong!) sensations and emotions that arise in the absence of reward and relish the exquisite frustration that shows up when something that you desire is within your reach and yet, unavailable. We will sit in the charged space between desire and its gratification and explore what might happen if we do not (yet) go for what we want.

Arrive on a slightly empty stomach, if you dare.
