This Year's Theme: Liquid Fantasia

A Celebration of Boundless Love, Expression, and Sensual Exploration 🌈✨

​

This year, Liquid Fantasia invites you to a transformative journey of connection, creativity, and sensual exploration. We reimagine love as an ever-shifting force, where identities blend and possibilities are limitless. 

Here, we celebrate the sacred essence within each of us, embracing a sensual freedom that knows no bounds. Let’s rewrite the stories we’ve been told and discover parts of ourselves yet to be explored. 

When I love you, I embrace the love within me. And in the ultimate act of shared bliss, when I pleasure you, my senses ignite. 

This is more than a celebration – it’s a call to expand your heart, redefine intimacy, and embrace the boundless potential of love. Every soul is celebrated, and every story is possible.

Guiding Principles

​​

1. Consent is a Must. Respect for others and their boundaries is paramount. ✋💖
   
   It is an affirmative, unambiguous and conscious decision by each participant; It is voluntary, and revocable at any time. Consent cannot be given when a person is incapacitated. We do not tolerate any kind of sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic or abusive behavior. Be the highest, most loving and respectful version of yourself.
   
   Please watch this video to get a little introduction on the topic.
    

2. Leave No Trace. Protect our beautiful earth! 🌍
   
   Ethical hedonists are protectors of the earth, guardians of the oceans, worshippers of Pachamama. We encourage you to bring your own cup/water bottle, if necessary, use bio glitter and always leave places cleaner than you found them. Single-use plastic is not permitted. Smokers: use a portable ashtray.
    

3. Be a Hedoangel. Maintain the vibes, protect the space. 👼
   
   Beautiful souls overseeing that magic and safety are maintained throughout the party, Hedoangels are guards of high vibes who take care of the space and one another. Sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, harassment or abusive behavior is not tolerated at this event.  Anything understood as such, as well as any violation of consent, will not be tolerated.
    

4. Gifting. Share your gifts and spontaneous performances! 🎁🎭
   
   Hedone is a participatory co-creational event. Guests are encouraged to bring and share their gifts with the community. Spontaneous performances, interactive games, gourmet treats, etc. ... are all welcome and appreciated. If you feel the spark to join a performance, you’ll find more info in the events telegram group soon.

Protection Of Privacy​

 

✨ Official Photos & Videos
We’ll have our lovely professional photographers and videographers capturing some magical moments throughout the event. These images may appear on Hedoné’s social media, website, and aftermovies. Most Hedonistas are happy to be featured, but if you’d prefer not to be included, no worries at all!

At the info/welcome point, just ask for a special bracelet that discreetly lets our media team know you’d like to stay off-camera. You can also chat with the photographers directly at any time—they’re super approachable and totally respect your boundaries.
 

 🌟 NEW THIS YEAR: We’re taking it a step further by creating a clear list of Hedonistas who prefer not to be photographed at all. This list will be shared directly with our photographers to help them be even more mindful. Just let us know at the info point if you’d like to be added.

📸 Participant Photo Etiquette
When it comes to taking your own pics, we ask everyone to follow some intuitive, heart-led guidelines:
 

• No photos during workshops or any moment where nudity is involved.

• Always ask for consent from everyone in the frame before snapping or sharing anything.

• Be present—don’t let your phone take over those magical moments.

• If you do share (with everyone’s consent!), tag us at @hedone.world, but please never tag the location.

And if, despite our best efforts, you see a photo of yourself somewhere that you’re not comfortable with, just talk to one of our team members—we’ll take care of it right away 💖

​

 

Practice Safer Sex

 

Nothing is more important in a conscious sex life than practicing safe sex. Caring for the health of our partners and ourselves is the highest form of (self-)respect one can exercise. Therefore we at Hedoné recommend and encourage all of our members and followers to not only use protection but also to get tested regularly.

​

Please be up to date on your STD tests before coming to the event. 

​

For STD testing in Paris, we recommend CeGIDD at 25 Boulevard St Jacques, Paris 14e. It offers free testing without the need for an appointment. You can visit during the following hours:

• Monday: 9am - 5pm

• Tuesday: 2pm - 5pm

• Wednesday: 9am - 1pm
