re-enchantment of the world and crip queer feminist decolonial movement-building through collective experiences of physical touch and care, mostly held in Brighton & Hove, UK.
touch-possible is a term we use instead of the term touch-positive (akin sex-positive), thus taking away any value-judgement placed on touch.
pleasure garden (or pleasuregarden, pleasure~garden) is a term we use instead of the word workshop, because nobody works or shops at our events (and we are fundamentally anti-work, anti-shops and anti-capitalist).

“A learning experience, it allowed me to understand myself better and that is invaluable.”
“A beautifully held, curated, and co-created space for exploring our needs, and what it means to connect with our peers in a world that depends on keeping us disconnected. A timely, necessary, healing salve for the psychic wounds of separation from our social needs”
”very gentle, reflective, inspiring, transformative. allowed me to brush against the edges of my comfort zone and find softness + joy there.”
”I was not sure what to expect before coming, but I was pleasantly surprised by how expertly the event was both clearly structured and guided while also being low-pressure and led by each participant's needs in the moment. A difficult balancing act when organising any event, and done very well here! I quickly felt more relaxed and settled into the kind, intimate and welcoming atmosphere of the event.”
”A kind and safe space to meet yourself and other people in the queer community. Exquisite, safe, spiritual, enlightening, fun, educational and connecting. Community, pack, what's needed, something that is so complex but made simple, very well facilitated”
