🪩 Pleasure Medicine: Sensual Ecstatic Dance For GBTQ Men - PRIDE SPECIAL! Tickets - London - OutSavvy
Do Pride Differently This YearIf the noise, crowds, booze and often hypersexualised energy of central London Pride no longer feels like your thing, you’re not alone. The Pleasure Medicine Pride Special is for gay men who want something that feels gentler, more nourishing, more meaningful as well as filled with delight and fun. We are creating a space to celebrate Pride this year in a way that feels more true to you; through dance, connection, music and shared joy. No costumes needed. No substances. No overwhelming crowds and hustle and bustle. Just a room full of kind-hearted, warm and open gay, bi, queer and trans men coming together in East London to move, feel, express and dance to a fabulous live DJ set. This is Pride, reimagined. A celebration of who we are, not who we’re expected to be.Dsicover more about what happens…“I’ve never done anything like this before.
