The Pleasure Code; What is this, What can it look like, and how can we bring our ancestral wisdom to rewrite it

Calling all pleasure feeling people to join healers and activists, Joan Rupram and Roshni Kavate for an afternoon of exploration and discovery.

Our cultural conditioning has separated us from embodying and savoring the simple acts of self pleasure. What does it look like to place our desires at the center? We will explore the themes of shame, guilt, eroticism and definition of pleasure.

Through collective sharing, and ancestral rituals we will participate in a full body experience of awakening the senses. Roshni will lead us on a Mango Meditation, we will devour a whole mango and reflect on sensuality. Joan will guide us in the ritual of a self face massage as we collectively rewrite our pleasure code.

Materials needed:

Favorite fruit of your liking

Favorite face oil of your liking -

ex: sweet almond oil, coconut oil, shea oil, jojoba oil
