Intimacy, relating & sexuality
Enlightenment in the Bedroom is an evening of honest, approachable and educational talks about sex and intimacy. This is your invitation into an inclusive, cosy and welcoming environment to learn from experts in the field of sexuality.
We share a drink, some nibbles and it’s a chance to connect with other like-minded souls. Each event has a selection of professional presenters that speak from the heart and share information and tangible practises that you can actually utilise in your life and intimate experiences.
This isn’t a workshop but more like a series of mini TedTalks and performance with a chance to mingle during intermission.

Spoken Word Queer Activist & Happy Slut
#Fuck the Shame Away by Mathew Bergan is a spoken word piece that fantasises a world lived without queer shame.
Mathew rewrites his queer history while exploring a reimagining of his sexual identity before HIV/AIDS, without the shadow of religion, outside the confines of heteronormativity.
Trigger warning: Ethical slut language, memories of the deceased, door bitch trauma, 10 favourite fucking positions, happy ho joy, pink kitten pumps & black nipples.
Topics can range through everything from arousal mapping your body to learning crucial communication skills for maximum safety and pleasure… From de-armouring an orifice to unlocking the power of kink… How to step into deeper connection and vulnerability to BDSM dynamics… Deconstructing sexual scripts to queering up the play spaces.
Are you ready to open your mind and expand your intimacy?
So what are we going to be talking about?
A comfortable setting
Just like when making love, set and setting is so important. Enlightenment in the Bedroom is held in a beautiful former church in Petersham at Greenhouse Studios. We decorate the space with low, mood lighting and there are lots of cosy couches so you can get comfortable for these intimate talks.
Gift bags & prizes
We have prizes to give out during the night including sex toys from Normal, lube from Tussle and intimate oil by Yoni Elixier plus more. Every attendee also receives a bag of goodies to take home… so everyone’s a winner!
