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.

The Temple of Love & Grief
You have been summoned by the OHRacle of the Waters,
the one who heard your unsung rivers of tears,
to gather in a ceremony of the Eros of sound and silence,
at the tender threshold between surrender and celebration.
We meet in sacred ritual space to honor Grief as an expression of Love.
What has stirred your ache within these festival days and beyond
is also stirring you into your renewed and remembered aliveness.
Guided by movement, deep listening, and vocal presence,
the ceremonial journey unfolds in layers:
a blindfolded individual passage to open the heart,
a space of sound where Anir offers individual vocal transmissions—
gentle blessings in the spirit of traditional healing—
and finally, a return to circle share, call and its response,
into a vivid celebration of Soul.
You will be invited to move, rest, receive, and express.
We remember not only with the mind, but most deeply through flesh, blood, and bones.
In listening deeply, grief’s serenade sings us back
into the wild, tender pulse of being alive and attuned.
In here, we are whole.
From here, we create and celebrate.
The Death Meditation
Tread slowly
Follow the spiral
Remember you number
What is really important to you?
How some doctors learnt to deal with death. A ritualistic simulation, a celebration of life before it ends, and an experimental play space.
CABARET - Sex Positive Variety Show
Taboo Cabaret! Welcome to an evening of mystical, sacred and bizarre performances where you get to perform in front of the Taboo Festival crowd. Prepare for an evening of insanity. Your life will never be the same again. (Contact Seani if you would like to perform a 5-10 minute slot).
The Sex Cult
The Three-Hour Sex Cult
One of darker parts of human society is cults brainwashing and controlling people with false narratives, clever techniques, fabricated fawning and manipulation. These things are horrors in our world and yet we can be heavily drawn to them.
Where does the impulse to join a cult come from? Is there a human need there? How do clever people get tricked so easily?
Let's dive straight in and try to understand the dynamics of sex, power, manipulation. We will attempt to run a cult for 3 hours. During this time we will create, celebrate, explore cult mentality, test our limits and commit our lives to the sex cult forever. Okay, maybe not forever, but for 3-hours :)
Are you ready to look at the impulse and repulsion that cult mentality brings? Can you survive the 3-hour sex cult?
This will be run by festival-founder Seani Love and his lovely assistant
Please! Yes! In My Ass
Ananda Amit Angelo (he/him) presents this 3 hour anal exploration workshop, including guided pelvic release massage, oil anus massage, followed by a free space for exploration of anal delights.
Underworld Juice
Ananda Amit Angelo (he/him) presents this 3 hour workshop exploring the framework of light and darkness, journeying into the unknown realms of the mythical demonic universe of darkness.
Hunt, Fuck, Kill
HUNT FUCK KILL—IN BETWEEN THE ANIMALS AND GODS
It's said in tantric philosophies that sexual energy is life energy. First, it's a ritual—in preparation for the kill, everything slows down. Then, it's a play—of edging, innocence and love. And finally, it's a catharsis—as the brave old sacrifice their life to celebrate the new. More concretely, it's a messy, primal, animalistic workshop on switching that centres around an orange and a bowl of water.
Because I LOVE YOU
"Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
There's nothing you can do
that can't be done
Nothing you can sing
that can't be sung
Nothing you can say
but you can learn
how to play the game
It's easy"
Welcome to a game of sacrifice,
A game of love.
What will you do for love?
This is a workshop in two parts:
First, a speed-date for love.
Second, a game of love, with one, many, or nobody.
It's an experiment.
It's because I love you.
Just witnessing is welcomed.
Corpse Play as Consent
Objectification—dollification—intoxication play—forniphilia—corpse play
The fetishization of passivity presents many shapes
When nothing is required of us
and there is nothing we can do
No performance—nothing to achieve—zero fucks to be given
It doesn't really work with enthusiastic consent
Enthusiastically being passive
How much enthusiasm is required to play with someone?
or should I say something...
Being a pleasure dom or reaction junkie doesn't really cut it
Oh no, you need your own perverted desire
But what could be more pleasurable than to be deeply desired?
As a possession.
As an obsession.
As a fetishization.
This workshop explores consent as an embodied response
One that might be forgotten or destroyed by trauma and abuse
or simply never learnt—so welcome to practice
And then maybe for a while, being someone's beloved corpse
Sex Magic Ritual
Here we come together for one of the most delicious and Taboo things of all - to use the magnificent power of our sexual bodies to create all that we want to call forth in this life. We reclaim our connection to our power that has been removed from us by disconnection from our sex.
We are all powerful. Feel the truth of your own Divinity. We connect to our limitless abilities in pleasure, Eros and community. This is an All Festival sacred ritual and promises to be truly profound and stunningly beautiful.
The Liquid Love Experience
Breathe Deep. Move Slow. Let Go. Melt & Surrender to Pleasure.
True Intimacy. Transpersonal Connection. Pass through the portal and into Bliss. Welcome to The Liquid Latihan Experience.
There is a place that I’d like to take you to. It’s the place where time stops and the whole world drops away. It’s the place where our souls get to swim together in a sea of light.
In this experience, we’ll take some time to drop in, both to our bodies and with each other. We’ll slow down, learn to feel in a hyper-sensitive way, and find sync both with our bodies and the group as a whole.
We’ll then come together, Blindfolded and lying on a plastic covered padded floor. Participants will be covered in coconut oil, moving slowly, listening within and co-creating movement with each other. This is a spiritual practice.
The event is a safely held Clothing Optional container. It is a Sensual, Non-Sexual experience where Eros is welcome and penetration of any kind is off the table. There is magic in the many places that involve sexual energy without taking it to that next level. Explore what it is to move without intention. Stay solo or join the group.
For those who have done LL before: this event has more Tantric awareness and more depth than a traditional LL. Breath and movement are slower and the intention is more spiritual.
Pleasure is the bridge between the Human and the Divine. Take my hand and let me show you the way.
Making Love to the Shadow
Welcome. Here are the keys to the Kingdom.
This is a Self Pleasure practice where you will find that you can not only befriend but also make love to your deepest pain. That shame, rage, grief, loss, failure and rejection can be met with total love and acceptance on this journey of Shadow Integration.
Feel what it is to get turned on by your despair. Get fuked by your rage. Become one with the parts of yourself that you most push away.
In this experience we first use a number of tools to meet, embody and dialogue with these parts. We’ll then move back and forth between them and self pleasure and turn on to build a bridge between the two. You’ll learn through the experience of your body how to use joy and Eros to resource the parts of yourself that you deny and repress, until you can surrender to them so completely that you allow them to penetrate your being.
Have an angergasm, a griefgasm, an abandonmentgasm. If you find it difficult to allow yourself to be truly happy, come and have a blissgasm.
In this way, you will get to experience what it is to move from being controlled by and avoiding your hardest feelings to being in a place of peace, acceptance and appreciation of them.
You can use this powerful and exquisitely joyous resource for the rest of your life on your way to removing all that stands in the way of you and your own full self actualization, wholeness and aliveness!
Spielwiese - Temple of Connections
A playful space to meet others – and yourself.
We begin by gently landing together. Through breathwork, movement, and icebreakers, we arrive in our bodies and in the here and now.
In a shared circle, we open up about our desires and offers. Bring your co-creative ideas for the free-flow part: living buffet, playfighting, massages, ropes, tickle circle...
After the guided part, the space opens for free exploration. You follow your impulses – cuddle, kiss, dance, flirt, play...
You can say yes, no, or maybe later. You might connect deeply with one person, flutter around like a curious butterfly, or simply enjoy your own company.
Everything is welcome – the shy, the wild, the quiet, the loud. It's about meeting others honestly, with clear boundaries, open hearts, and a curious spirit of play.
By the end, you might leave glowing, smiling, and feeling like you just spent a sunny afternoon on a beautiful meadow – a real Spielwiese.
Dominant Facesitting
Dominant Facesitting – an introduction to female* dominance.
Would you like to explore your dominant side?
Or are you curious about your submissive side?
We provide a safe space for you to step out of your comfort zone and bring to life fantasies of female* dominance and male* submission.
In this workshop:
You discuss desires and fantasies.
You practice negotiation, consent, and communication within the scene.
You delve into the dominant/submissive roles and energy through brief exercises.
The facilitators demonstrate a step-by-step playscript.
You enact this playscript (or parts of it) and conclude with free play.
Curious Lips
Curious Lips - Kissing Workshop
This WS is for you if you like to kiss and to be kissed!
You will explore different ways of kissing with different levels of intensity.
The approach is slow, playful, explorative and fun!
This WS is not about «learning how to kiss», but about exploring different kind of kisses with a bigger number of humans. It is ok and normal to feel shy or insecure, when it comes to kissing with strangers. So there will be several ice-breakers to overcome the initial awkwardness.
We start with «awkward Air-Kisses», have fun with «shy Teenager-Kisses» and show off like stars with «Hollywood-Kisses». The journey will lead you from kisses without touch to slowly exploring lips to proper French-Kisses, maybe even with several persons.
Dark Eros
Dark Eros: The Art of Erotic Punishment
Do you miss the intensity of your experiences? Does guilt or shame obscure your sexuality? Do you feel anxious or paralyzed when a situation becomes "too sexual”?
Dark Eros first is about you, yourself, about the feeling of who you are. About your existence. About power and surrender. About discovering your wild child – your independence. And transgressing the rules of being a good boy or a good girl.
Dark Eros is describing raw and bold sexuality connected with the first chakra rather than with the sensual second chakra. First chakra exuality arises from existential issues rather than from pure pleasure, love and contact. In Dark Eros we explore the erotic drives and hidden urges, power games, dominance and submission and which that we can satisfy our deepest and highest, spiritual needs. The transformation and empowerment of transgressing fear of authority, fear of punishment into a wild, bold breaking of old rules, finding freedom in sexual and life expression.
Main topics of Dark Eros are:
- Experiencing and taking your personal power.
- Punishment which is empowering
- Being in the Energy. Not withdrawing it in need for approval and out of existential threats
- About transgression and recognition of your personal power
- Embodying yourself as individuals.
- Healing fear, shame and guilt that control us from within
- Experiencing our power as daring, being transgressive, wild
- Exploration of submission and dominance
During this experiential workshop we will taste some of the themes, of power over an power under in a guided group experience. Then we will experience a transgressive massage “Playing the body as a musical instrument” and learn how to use floggers as a tool of raising energy.
The body is the instrument, like a cello, the flogger is the bow and the energy is the music. This is a movement of transformation. The flogger, normally an instrument of power and punishment will be transformed into an instrument for rising energy and pleasure.
Please come in pairs, nudity is welcomed but optional. Please bring yoga mat, lungi, a sexy outfit (optionally), and a flogger if you have one.
Erotic Hypnosis
Using projections and sound we will indulge in a private world of blissful hypnotic fantasy whilst learning erotic hypnotic techniques.
Sissy School
Mistress offers this as a safe but exciting and kinky space for biological males who love to explore cross dressing and sissy play and feminisation. Biological females are welcome to attend but by prior arrangement and to take on a dominant role as mistress’ helpers. This is due to the nature of how gender functions as a codependency and the fact that biological females have tendency to police masculine expressions of femininity. Sissies and their allies/ supportive bullies only
This is a space for men to express their slutty feminine as they wish (but with Mistress’ consent).

Playback Theatre
Playback Theatre: Exploring Taboos Through Storytelling
Join us for an engaging 2.5-3 hour workshop where we’ll dive into the transformative art of Playback Theatre—a powerful form of interactive improvisational theatre that brings personal stories to life. Participants will be guided through body warm-ups, improvisational exercises, and an introduction to foundational Playback forms such as Fluid Sculpture and Transformational Fluid.
Together, we’ll create a safe, creative space to explore stories around sexuality, taboos, and experiences from the festival. Participants will share, witness, and play back each other's stories, discovering new perspectives and connections through storytelling. This workshop is designed for everyone, whether you’re a seasoned performer or brand new to theatre. All you need is a willingness to reflect, connect, and explore the depth of human experiences through creative expression.
Pegging
Dive into the world of pegging – a practice that blends fun, intimacy, and playful dynamics. Pegging refers to penetration with a dildo in a harness, regardless of gender or preference: whether woman, man, or in between, anal or vaginal – all variations are possible. Often, it’s associated with a woman anally penetrating a man, but we’ll keep the space inclusive and open to all possibilities.
Pegging offers a chance to redefine giving and receiving. We’ll discuss power dynamics, optional BDSM elements, and how to playfully reverse traditional roles. Practical Tips: From hardware (harness, dildos, lube) to software (mindset, communication, consent) – I’ll equip you with everything to explore pegging safely and pleasurably. Which positions are comfortable? How do you prepare?
And I ‘ll bring a few Pegging sets to actually try out what you have just learned!
Slow Sex
Slow Sex - Fulfilling sex that is always easy without pressure and stress and makes both partners really happy? That sounds like a great promise! What is the difference between slow sex and regular sex and what exactly does slow sex look like - step by step?
Long-term couples and those who want to become one need slow sex! Because slow sex means sex that creates long-term sexual trust and doesn't always have to be slow. Anyone who initially believes that slow sex is just slow-motion vanilla sex will have this myth pulled away like a curtain in front of their eyes. A gateway to a new world of sexual experience opens up.
Yella will lovingly dispel misconceptions, provide an easy-to-understand introduction to the basic ideas of mindfulness in slow sex and then give a pratcical guide on how to practice slow sex.
Disrespecting Your Own Boundaries
Disrespecting your own Boundaries: Talk to your Fawning Self
People pleasing, fawning, and conflict avoidance are common patterns that develop as protective strategies, often in response to past trauma or challenging situations.
We develop this tendency to Please others which might translate into not being in tune with our boundaries, minimising our needs or overstepping our own boundaries.
In this IFS-inspired workshop, we can begin to understand the parts of ourselves that drive these behaviors and work to heal the underlying wounds by addressing these parts compassionately.
Harvesting the Gold from Your Kinks
What do our fantasies tell us about our stories of the world and of ourselves? In this group journey of conscious self-exploration, we will take time to relax into the safety of our bodies, allow our imagination for fantasy to flow, and take time to explore and find the gems from our fantasies. A brave space will be opened where you are invited to be seen in your unique fantastic sexy selves, to connect a new loving, joyful and socially supportive feelings to these often hidden corners of our being. Supported by the group, you may proudly reclaim suppressed parts into the new you.
This is a journey of mostly self-connection, touch and movement, which others can support without touch. Bring a journal and pen to write with, ideally also a highlighter.
Human Cows
Human cows, ponies, pets: exploring the animal within.
Here we will slowly explore desires pushed into the shadows by feminist, PC and personal empowerment culture. What makes it so hot to imagine being dumbed down, milked, and handled just like a milk cow? Or pulling a cart, being ridden, and washed and brushed down? Or pushing your nose into your owner's arms, looking up and purring at them? On the other hand, can I indulge and learn from how much I like to massage beautiful breasts, milking teets, pushing my pony to exhaustion, or having my way with my pet?
By creating understanding, awareness of the psychological dynamics around humiliation, frameworks of communication, nonverbal communication and somatic empowerment together, the invitation is opened to explore non-human roleplay of different varieties, with varying amounts of consensual non-consent and objectification involved.
Sexual Trauma Ritual
In this intimate workshop we will create beautiful healing rituals for each other. We work with our own tramatic experiences in small intimate groups of four, creating magick together. Maybe you were not violated by a person but by a culture, which made you hate/dislike certain parts of your body. This ritual is for you too.
Bad Mommy Domme
Bad MommyDomme ,- a fun and dark workshop exploring you inner Mommy Domme,- the caring, the wicked, the sweet, the slightly manipulative or the hypnotizing MommyDomme…playing, nursing and letting her “ kids” be disciplined.
Erotic Fireplay
Fireplay is a captivating, spellbinding, and extraordinary form of play in BDSM. Embracing the risk of flames caressing one's body can ignite a deeply sensual and exhilarating experience. Despite initial trepidations, people often find these sensations surprisingly gentle yet imbued with an electrifying intensity and dynamic vigor.
Fireplay sessions inherently embody an element of unpredictability and danger, invoking a dramatic essence. For the person stroking another's skin with fiery torches, this practice demands technical skills, strong attentiveness, and deep immersion. Through dedicated practice, both participants can experience a profound connection and trust with each other in this fiery dance of play.
In this workshop, you will:
- Learn essential tools and techniques of fireplay.
- Discuss crucial safety measures involved in this play.
- Gain insights into how you can create your own session/ritual.
- Practice helpful and clear communication (verbal and non-verbal) before and during the
session. - Explore what happens on the receiver/bottom side and how they can contribute to a
successful fireplay session. - Enjoy opportunities for experimentation and practice.
You will need to bring:
- A cotton blanket or a large towel.
- If you have long hair, something to tie it up.
Ecstatic Flogging – The Dance of Bodies and Whips
Ecstatic Flogging – The Dance of Bodies and Whips
In this Taboo Festival workshop, we invite you to experience flogging and spanking as ecstatic, connected, and deeply pleasurable practices—beyond punishment or power play.
Flogging can be an intense form of sensual massage. It can become a tool for deep connection, a gateway into altered states of consciousness such as trance or flow.
It may even offer a cathartic release—freeing emotions or tensions we’ve been holding inside.
Or perhaps it's simply the joy of letting the flogger fly, hearing its rhythm in the air, witnessing the responses it evokes, and co-creating a dance of sensation, rhythm, and presence.
There are so many ways to dive into this energy-charged, focused, and playful exchange. In this workshop—open to all experience levels, bodies, identities, and constellations—you’ll get to explore some of these possibilities through practical exercises, live demos, and moments of shared discovery, accompanied by grounded insights and practical tips.
Please bring your own flogger if you have one.
We will also have some available to borrow.
