Hedoné Seminar 2022

This year we will gather to cultivate self-love, acceptance, and deeply connect with the truth within ourselves. It is time begin living outside of the binary box, the patriarchal misconceptions, and begin tapping into our gender-fluidness to discover and celebrate the sexual complexities that we all carry within us. Empathy, consent, and respect will be the main pillars to support this magical reunion.

SEEDS OF THE UNIVERSE

On sweet green grass I then lay down

Allow all flowers to be my crown

And I look up to universe and skies

Watch each bird and every cloud that flies

In Universe all humans agree

I want to eat all those colors I see

The planet vision grows a future tree

Why only from ground is , where all stars I see

Allowing all hands to then softly touch me

Drink and taste my warm summer wine

Sweet heavenly sparkles watery shine

All molecules dance under one sky

There’s nothing to hide, when elements fly

Grow your uniqueness and then one become

Give all, be generous and then take and eat some

I see your beauty in every pore

Be open and real and I will show some more

I feel such love for all similarities

Let us embrace all our disparities

Astrology writes us on every moon

I fly around heaven in my earthly balloon

Inviting you all to exist there with me

Plant sweet seeds of earth lust on whatever you see

Today is tomorrow , but still we’re flesh, bone and blood

Heavenly flowers from universal’s sweet mud

I am water

I am soil

I am fire

I am oil

The beauty in every pore of being

These are all seeds on each life we‘re seeing

We invite you,  whoever you may be

To dance along and then kiss some and me

Come in light soft colors, then feel all tomorrows

Allow to grow flowers, forget all your dark  sorrows

Awaiting you with open arms on every gate

All colors   genders , ages , nature made

Be brave and tender, allow each lustrous need

And in this truth you will find your universal seed

Be playful , respectful , each variety

Come be with us ,

Your Hedoné family

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 and 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. 

Program to be announced

ATTIRE

The ambience of the celebration, starting on Saturday, is inspired by the poem “De Rerum Natura”, an ode to ethical hedonism. Elements that symbolize the beauty of the botanical world will be the main components of the decoration and dress code. Apart from flowers, feathers, shells, etc… light colored fabrics (white, cream, beige, pale pink, silver) are strongly encouraged. Body paint and bio-glitter are welcome. We also love skin! Transparency and nudity are encouraged and celebrated. We expect all participants to comply with the dress code in order to maintain our enchanted atmosphere and co-create a living painting - mass performance against Female Genital Mutilation, bringing life to the expression“Don’t cut the Flower!”. We invite you to wear your most festive outfit to our gala on Saturday.
