What is Chatonnade? 

Chatonnade is a self-positive collective that works for the sexual fulfillment of all.

Self-positive is a movement that supports spaces where:
1/ the different parts of oneself are welcomed, integrated and honoured in their diversity,
2/ everyone is supported to do what is right for them at all times,
3/ issues of consent, consent bias, and caregiving are central to culture/ education.

 

What is a FF? 

Fabulous Fabulosities (FF) are a 3-day Chatonnade event formats during which we add a dimension of hands-on exploration around the themes of sexuality and living together

This exploration takes place via a mix of guided ceremonies to offer safety/culture and multiple self-directed workshops to offer freedom/exploration.

 

What will happen concretely? 

Literally everything is allowed and nothing is mandatory except the event guidelines. In particular, various levels of nudity and sexuality are allowed in different spaces.

The retreat is guided by the facilitation of 6 circles and ceremonies including 3 ceremonies during the evenings, one for the closing, and two circles of shared governance during the day.

During these moments of sharing, each person will have the opportunity to offer workshops on the themes that inspire them. Each participant will also have the opportunity to browse through the various offerings of the other participants. These workshops will take place in the morning, afternoon and night.

In the evening, the ceremonies will be guided by our Lead Facilitator. They will focus on safety and connection, through consent exercises, connection and authenticity games

Angels will be present during the stay to support individuals.

 

This is a sex-positive event, meaning that the ceremonies and workshops offered will be predominantly about sexual exploration. More info on our new theme code  here: https://docs.chatonnade.org/chatonnade/cadre/code-thematique

 

What about the location? 

It is in a beautiful house with a large garden. A private group will be created to allow for coordination of carpools and other trips. The place will be decorated to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

We will have separate spaces for silence or to get away from sexual interactions if we need to.

There will be a limited number of rooms alone for sleeping, if a person wishes to secure a solitary space for the night/their belongings then it is recommended to bring a tent.

 

Is everyone welcome? 

Yes! The only requirement is that you must be at least 18 years old and able to respect the event framework. As a self-positive and sex-positive community, we are dedicated to embracing diversity and creating a safer space for all.

Our events welcome individuals regardless of their sex, gender, sexual and romantic orientation, atypicalities, body type, ethnicity, nationality, age, religion, employment status, sexual experience, kinks and parasexuality, body cycle (menstruation), triggers and trauma.

For first time attendees at one of our events, we may ask for a recommendation from someone who has attended before.

This is a red coloured event, meaning it is intended for those with some experience with spaces in which sexuality is allowed. During ceremonies, the right to have sexuality is HIGHER than not wanting to attend .More info on our new color code  here: https://docs.chatonnade.org/chatonnade/cadre/code-couleur
