Welcome to the…

The Erotic Living Worldwide Festival 

We are honoured to have you join us for the Erotic Living Worldwide Festival .

Thank you for booking. You will receive an email with a link to this page in your booking confirmation.

We would like to share with you some important information. 

How do I join the festival?

To join the festival, you must firstly join the private Facebook Group “Erotic Living Worldwide Festival Community”. All zoom links to the festival workshops will be posted in this group. The zoom links will only be posted in this group, nowhere else. The links will be posted up to 3 hours prior to the festival workshop taking place. The private Facebook group will also be a community space where, in addition to the zoom links, valuable information will be posted throughout the festival. It is also a place for you to connect and share your experiences

Recordings of the workshops will also be posted in the Facebook group after the festival ends.

Please allow us some time to confirm and approve your request.

How to use Zoom to Attend Workshops?

Zoom is a communication tool, providing easy to use video and audio conferencing, chat, and webinars. The festival workshops, talks and ceremonies will be all hosted in different “Zoom Rooms”. As stated above we will post the zoom links for each workshop in the “Community” private facebook group.

As video conferencing can be chaotic we ask that you mute yourself and ask questions in the chat area. The Facilitator will address them throughout. You can unmute as required. We ask you to mute yourself on all sessions on zoom, unless otherwise directed by the session host. This is because we expect over 100 people in most sessions and people speaking will interrupt the flow of the workshop. If you have something you’d like to say or question you would like to ask, please use the chat function in zoom and the presenter will attend to your question or comment in due course.  

Zoom can be accessed via a mobile device, tablet or computer. If you have never used Zoom before we recommend installing the application and using it to call a friend to get comfortable with the platform. You can also check this Zoom tutorial. 

Consent and Boundaries

We encourage you to express your boundaries at any point when you feel that they may be crossed. We strongly encourage you to say ‘no’ clearly, if you are not in consent with the behaviour of someone you are interacting with. On the other side, we ask you to respect and listen to someone’s no. More information about this in the video and in our statement on Safety, Privacy and Informed Consent. We reserve the right to ask anyone to leave a session or the whole festival, if they are repeatedly crossing people’s boundaries and being disrespectful to participants or festival presenters.

Festival Schedule

Our line up is a scattering of international facilitators and many will be recorded and available to access after the festival. You don't need to pre-book which workshop you're going to attend. You can choose on the day itself. Please arrive 10 minutes before the scheduled start time, you will be placed in a waiting room until the workshop starts. Some workshops from the schedule are available online. Please check back closer to the festival for the final schedule.

Support During the Festival

We know that we are dealing with sensitive materials and topics. We also know that all of us are experiencing different and unusual emotions in these uncertain times. Therefore just like with our physical festivals If during the workshops you feel overwhelmed or depleted, please feel free to rest, re-calibrate and recover. There will be people available to talk through the Community page if you need. We do not offer professional therapy sessions, it’s simply a space dedicated to listening and connection.

Preparing Yourself for the Festival

For some workshops all need is your computer and/or phone and a decent internet connection. However, for other workshops it is useful to have extra things on hand. We will be sending you a list of what you need for specific workshops prior to the festival and posting them also in the Facebook group.

Here is a list of things you might benefit from ahead of time.

• You need to be sure you have a decent internet connection

• Set your space, whatever you need to do to separate the festival space from your everyday. You can use candles, incense, soft lighting, cushions, rugs and blankets to make your space as comfortable and distraction free as possible.

• Wear comfortable clothes or sarong for the workshops. 

• Costume or formal dress for the social event on Saturday night 

• You may want to use earphones to be fully present in the space

• Notebook and pen

• Coconut oil for massage

• Phone or computer charger 

• Keep hydrated by having a water bottle

Inner Preparation

Set some time before the festival and at the beginning of each workshop/day to sit with yourself. You may want to dance, set your intention for the festival, do some breathing exercises, take a bath/shower or meditate to connect with yourself and drop into your body. We recommend turning off your notifications to social media and emails so you aren’t constantly distracted throughout. 

In love and lust, 

Peter, Nerida and team.
