Spring has Sprung, hibernation is done! Cast off the long, lonely wintry gloom. Now's the time to gather and bloom!

Beauty is as diverse as those who choose to create it. Let's bring forth our sunniest selves and create a verdant bouquet of color and joy. Now, we are alive. Now, we are together. Pause and appreciate that miracle.

Life is our transient yet bountiful banquet. The famished season is over. Spring has Sprung! Join us and feast.

CONSENT & COMMUNICATION

Comfort & Joy is here for you! If you ever need support, see someone who may or have other concerns at our parties, please find one of our 'vibe-raters' (purple glow collars) or a house manager (pink glow collars). We want everyone to always feel respected, adventurous and safe at our events. Consent makes that possible.

Please communicate and check in before touching. If you aren’t feeling it, a polite ‘no thank you’ is kind. ‘No’ is also a complete sentence. If you receive ‘no’ in any form, please be gracious and respect it. Ultimately, we request that we ask each other for permission rather than forgiveness when it comes to consent.
