Meet Seani Love!
Seani Love (pronouns: he/him but you can call him Daddy) one of the 2 founders of Taboo Festival has made his career exploring the dark places of the human shadow as much as the light aspects of human sexuality. His expertise is in taking his clients and workshop participants on journeys into bliss, surrender and empowerment using a variety of sexual, neotantric, kinky and ritualistic techniques. He studied trauma at Arizona Trauma Institue and has a number of certificates in the realm of healing, sexuality, therapy and shadow processing.
Seani was award the title of UK Sex Worker of the Year at the 2015 Sexual Freedom Awards. He also appears in the 2018 Berlinale Berlin Film Festival Golden Bear Winning film, Touch Me Not.
By exploring and integrating our shadows, we come to know ourselves and the world better which takes us on a step closer to wisdom, self-love and total empowerment.

Meet Saurora Grace!
Saurora Grace is a Tantric Sexologist, sex worker, and unapologetic shame slayer. She works at the edges of what’s sacred, filthy, and wildly human, where kink meets ritual, where bodies get worshipped, and where nothing is too much.
She’s here for the moaners, the screamers, the curious, the kinky, the soft, the wild, the disabled, the disobedient, the ones who’ve been told their desires are too weird, too loud, too complicated. She’s not here to tame you. She’s here to help you take the leash off.
Her work is rooted in deep body-based practice. Tantra. Somatic sexology. Conscious kink. Erotic ritual. Real-world sex work. This isn’t just theory, it’s blood, sweat, rope burn, laughter, release.
She specialises in working with disabled people, not from a place of pity or therapy, but from a fierce belief that pleasure belongs to everyone. Every body. Every story. Every scar. Every edge.
Sessions with her are intense. Transformative. Filthy. Fun. She brings depth, fire, and a fuckload of permission. You might cry. You might laugh. You might come. You might leave a different person.
Just real, raw, radical permission to be who you are and want what you want.
Come play. Come unravel. Come get filthy. 😜
Meet Diana Mau!
Channelling down from the cosmic planes is often times the order of the day for Welsh-born shadow tantrika and intuitive astrologer Diana Mau, whose parallel love of theatrics, play and creative expression inspired her in 2003 to dream up and co-found Volupté – the very first burlesque cabaret supper club in London this side of the 21st century.
A natural psychic intuitive, she has spent the last 8 years immersed in the realms of the shamanic and her beloved Underworld, where she has adventured and journeyed with everything from ritual theatre and storytelling, shadow and power play, Tantra, somatic work, Qabalistic magic, and Existential Kink – a practice and philosophy that has been deeply woven into her life since 2016. Her own experiential account of the practice made it into the 2020 book by founder Carolyn Elliott, and she has been a certified Existential Kink coach since 2023.
Diana has lived for many years on the magical crystal island of Ko Phangan in Thailand, where she recently opened Pandora’s Box, a space that offers – as well as an array of other delights – the mystical erotic Temple: Love’s Labyrinth.
Amongst her many other guises, she has also been Deputy Editor for a South East Asian entertainment travel magazine, and has owned and run a number 1 backpacking hostel in Thailand.
