At an event devoted to pleasure, why would one choose to suffer? Voluntary suffering can give us intense stimulation, insight into our psyches, and a sense of agency over the involuntary suffering that we all inevitably experience. This workshop will explore intentional suffering as a radical act of self-determination. After a brief philosophical introduction, we will help attendees subject themselves to various forms of pain — physical, psychological, and social. Come join us for a bad time.
We will conduct a short presentation and discussion on intentional suffering, then conduct several optional activities designed to allow participants to suffer in distinct and varied ways. ALL ASPECTS OF THIS WORKSHOP ARE VOLUNTARY AND CONSENSUAL. We hope to provide a bad time to anyone who wants one, but safety is our top priority, and attendees will be asked for their informed consent before participating in any activity.
