Are you feeling shut down at the moment? Don’t worry, nearly everyone is.
Are you wanting to play and to connect, but it seems so long ago since you last did? Don’t worry, we’re all in the same boat.
For this reason, Erotic Living has proposed a live play series. Embodiment and Play remain essential for our health and well-being. Pleasure is what makes us feel happy and alive.
Lets come together again as a community and reignite our erotic practice, while remaining safe!
4 Sessions Sundays @ 6:00-9:00pm: 13/6, 20/6, 27/6, 04/07
4 Sessions Sundays @ 6:00-9:00pm: 12/9, 19/9, 26/9, 03/10

“There were moments where I thought I’d chicken out and not show up and when I did, moments where I thought holy shit did I sign up for this. It was worth it. Definitely flipped my scripts. It was a beautiful space to lean into the questions and be with what arises. Thank you Peter and the Erotic Living Team.” - Jessie Bao (Participant, Sydney Pleasure Series, Sept-Oct 2020)

OUR POLICY ON SAFETY, PRIVACY AND CONSENT
It is our intention to create a space that is as safe as possible and where all activity is consensual. We will be doing exercises which teach people to express their wishes and boundaries in a clear way. If your boundary is that your identity is not disclosed, that will be respected. There will also be exercises which will help people to learn to read "body consent", which supports verbal communication. There will also be trained staff on hand who have experience with erotic spaces and who will intervene if any behaviour risks to be non-consensual or unsafe.
