Pleasure Feast / Feast of the Senses

Part of Deeper Joy

Take aways may include: remembering pleasure is birthright, delight, comfort, reset.

Parameters: Can be done individually or in a group in person.

Materials: a way to collect and distribute a list of everyone's dietary preferences, allergies and sensitivities. Give people the option of saying "ok if it's in the room, I just won't partake" and "not ok if it's in the room."

Considering the list of preferences, allergies and sensitivities, invite everyone to bring in a handful of things that delight their senses - their favorite foods and drinks, lotions or oils, scents, a favorite blanket, great songs or videos, bubbles, etc. Give those who want to the chance for a show and tell. Then, share and INDULGE! Remind folks, "don't yuck someone's yum. If you're not into it that's ok, just let others enjoy."
