Apply as GUEST for Hedoné Paris 2023

In support of the "Women, Life, Freedom" movement and in tribute of women and men fighting right now in Iran against patriarchal bigotry, this year edition will dive into the century’s long tradition of oriental hedonism.It is a sensual exploration into a vibrant culture with deep spiritual roots, for long repressed but never forgotten. An invitation to fall in love with the Divine, through the ecstatic joy of the senses.Mystic oriental poetry is earthy and engraved in bodily experiences. Its favorite subjects are love, bliss, simple pleasures, wine, sexuality of all sorts, and ecstasy. Join us this year to celebrate the joy of ethical hedonism and bring light to this sensual wisdom.

INTRODUCTION AND EDUCATION

The introductory part of the Hedoné experience is for gathering and sharing rational and emotional knowledge. It includes intimate talks and discussions by experts on topics that aid those on the quest to free their hearts and souls from the inhibiting constructions of society; art exhibitions, performances and workshops that present techniques and practices that support a loving (re)connection of the participants with a more harmonious, freer version of themselves – as well as with one another.

Program to be announced

CELEBRATION AND INITIATION

The second part of the seminar is a collective artistic experience inspired by Psychomagia, and consists of a performative initiation into an alternate reality, introducing individuals to newly acquired consciousness into practice enhancing the spirit and the soul. People are encouraged to express themselves through a musical program, interactive performances, guided group experiences and wellness spaces.
