Hi gorgeous, lovely to see you in here!

What Are We About?

Humans are integrated mind, body, spirit, and social & relational beings.

As humans, pleasure is our birth right. We are perfect conduits of exploration and playfulness.

Body is not an apology, it is a sentient extension of biodiversity.

We offer a space where people enjoy their bodies in the way they are, regardless of their composition, fitness, race, age, or how their body relates to assumed social or beauty standards.

If you have a body, we think you are magic.

We love and celebrate individual expression through the erotic.

We love facilitating spaces for erotic, sexual and kink exchange between consenting people in safer ways.


Who for?

Luscious is for:

  • People of all genders and all sexual orientations (18+) and people who are comfortable being an environment where this is embraced and welcomed.
  • People who meet the criteria for entry - You have already attended other sexuality or self development workshops, education or events. You can articulate specific names of events, courses, books, workshops, books, podcasts, play-parties, festivals and similar.
  • People who are comfortable in their own skin, and not currently traumatised.
  • People with social skills who are comfortable being in an environment where there are various expressions of relationship formations.

Luscious is not for:

  • People taking their first steps into their sexuality - other more appropriate workshops exist.
  • People who dislike others because of their gender/body/age/race/class and similar, or who have no interest in learning how all people can be impacted by bias.
  • People with a trauma response, or any other mental health issue, that means they're inclined to freeze or be unable to communicate.
  • People who don't already have the social skills to sustain relationships and friendship circles. We encourage you to seek counselling, peer work or therapy instead.


Luscious Connections Workshop (W1)

This 5-hour workshop has been carefully refined over the course of ten years, and it is designed to help you understand and articulate your sexuality and erotic intelligence. It also functions as the gateway to all our parties and events. It was previously known as Practice Lab and Curiosity.

This workshop will prepare you with the information and attitude you need to conduct yourself for your first party. It includes discussion, theory, and exercises relating to communication and consent.

The workshop covers setting boundaries, and working out what you are and aren't interested in, expectations, tools and practical exercises, safety (emotional and physical), etiquette and how to communicate about sexuality and relationship concepts in a shame-free sexuality context. It's also a great way to meet others who will be attending the party for the first time. details

Please note, all exercises are taken only to the level that's right for you at the time.

After you've completed Workshop Two, you will gain access to our private social media platform / forum where you will be able to see the listings for all future Luscious parties, events and workshops and interact with other people, as long as you continue to co-create a healthy culture with us and remain acting within our shared social contract.
