"Going to my first ASSfest in Melbourne 24, felt like coming home. I found my people! And what an awesome experience to immerse myself for the full weekend. The integration hits different when you get to dive deep, and meaningful connections are made when you work with a group in an extended environment. ASSfest M25 was even better. I really found a flow from one workshop to the next. Things I learned were deepened by each facilitator, the curation of choices were so complementary. Having the weekend centred around the Temple night is such a beautiful thing. It really enriched and made a space for my intentions for the weekend to land. I met so many lovely people, ASSfest really is such a special gathering and offering of and for our community. Really grateful for the love and effort put into this one of a kind event." S


"Attending the ASSfest two day workshop/festival was such a nourishing experience. The atmosphere felt inclusive and welcoming. The facilitators created a space that was playful, deep and respectful. Consent was at the heart of everything, which made it easy to relax, explore, and connect.

The workshops were engaging and full of practical insights. The facilitators and consent angels were knowledgeable and passionate about what they loved, which kept the energy alive across the whole weekend.

The temple party was a highlight for me. The mix of films, performances, and beautifully curated play spaces added layers that made room for both tender exploration and more adventurous energy.

Everything about the weekend was thoughtfully organised and still felt relaxed and natural. It’s rare to find an event that balances safety, freedom, and fun so well, but they definitely achieved this. Truly one of the best sex positive and kink spaces Melbourne has to offer." R
