the discoveryWORKSHOP
delicious/mischievous is a sapphic community built on consent and care: attuned, tender & playful events for women who love women. A space for authentic connection through listening, care & body awareness. A bubble of magic, joy and belonging dedicated to all the malicieuses, with or without experience, single or in a relationship, of all ages and orientations.
The discovery workshop is the ideal way into the delicious/mischievous world. It's a gentle, accessible format designed not just to help you begin meeting women, but above all to experience your own sovereignty. In a simple, warm and 100% safe setting, come and turn consent into a real playground: learn to listen to your true desires, allow yourself to say yes or no without justifying yourself, and discover the joy of a space where your boundaries are fully celebrated.
THE INTENTION
No experience is required. You can come even if you're shy, hesitant, awkward or full of questions. Here, nothing is expected of you: you're free to participate, observe or take a break at any time. This format offers a very practical way to discover consent: learning to say yes, say no and recognise when you don't yet know, without pressure or justification. Everything happens step by step, with clear, explained invitations that are always optional. The pace is slow and respectful, and everyone moves at their own tempo. This format is designed as an introduction: a relational cocoon to ease into meeting women with gentleness, respect and trust.
WHO THIS FORMAT IS FOR
complete beginners
Have you never taken part in a women's circle or a connection workshop? This is the perfect place to start. Our facilitator explains everything from A to Z. You need absolutely no previous experience.
shy and introverted women
If the idea of meeting new people usually intimidates you, this framework is for you. Here, there's no need to make conversation or to "perform" socially: the exercises guide you step by step, and you can always simply observe. Come exactly as you are, with your shyness, hesitations or awkwardness: that is precisely why this space was created!
those who want to explore their boundaries
If you sometimes find it hard to say "no", to know what you want, or tend to forget your own needs in relationships, this space is a wonderful playground (and a gentle one!) for practising setting your boundaries safely.
those seeking gentleness without pressure
You simply want to slow down, have a cup of tea, meet lovely people and let a caring framework support you, without any expectations or stakes.
As with all our events, no previous experience is required. Whether you're outgoing or more shy, single or in a relationship, you are welcome with everything you are.
WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCE
exploring consent
Discover in practice how to ask for, receive and respect a yes, a no or an "I don't know yet". Learn that you can always change your mind, and that setting boundaries is a strength.
listening to your body
Take time to feel what is right for you, notice your sensations, refine your awareness and practise expressing what you want — or don't want — in the moment.
connecting gently
Experience simple, gradual invitations to discover the pleasure of connection, without pressure or expectations, in an attentive, caring setting.
sharing a friendly moment at the heart of the workshop
Enjoy a break together over a shared buffet (coffee, fruit, sweet treats…), chat freely and nurture connection in a simple, human way.
moving at your own pace
Participate, observe, step away or take a break whenever you need to. A facilitator is always present to support the framework and look after everyone's wellbeing.
WHERE & when
A beautiful, large, bright space with high ceilings (usually a dance hall, yoga studio, art gallery or large private flat), specially decorated and arranged for the occasion.
The space opens its doors at 10:00.
The opening circle begins at 10:15: from that moment, the doors are closed and it is no longer possible to join the event, in order to preserve the framework set together.
The closing circle takes place at 13:30, followed by departures until 14:00.
the delicious/mischievous framework: A FACILITATED SPACE
At delicious/mischievous, encounters rely neither on improvisation nor on social pressure. The experience takes place in what we call "a facilitated space": a relational framework guided with care, designed so that you can take part in complete confidence.
gentle grounding
Every event begins with an opening circle. It's a time to settle in, share your inner weather and set out your boundaries for the day.
caring guidance
Our facilitator holds the space. She marks its thresholds and opens and closes each part. She offers gradual invitations to connect (through play, listening and movement) and ensures the integrity of the experience.
consent as our compass
Every activity is clearly explained and requires explicit consent. Here, everything is an invitation: you choose what to experience, how, with whom and with what intensity.
your absolute sovereignty
Nothing is ever compulsory. At any time, you're free to participate, simply observe or step away to honour your own pace. Those coming as a couple can also choose to experience it just as a pair, in their own bubble.
This framework creates a space of confidentiality and collective responsibility. It allows you to release the pressure, listen to yourself fully and explore relating with gentleness and authenticity, without any expectation or judgement.

who are the MALICIEUSES?
This sapphic space is open to all women attracted to other women — whether you're lesbian, bi, pan or simply curious. Age is never a selection criterion, and participants are generally between 25 and 55. The events are suited to single people as well as to those coming as a couple.
We come together around bodily, relational and creative practices, rooted in relational awareness, and around shared values: authenticity, emotion, care, community, tenderness. Together, we cultivate a sense of celebration and beauty, and co-create spaces that explore other ways of relating, of inhabiting the body and of thinking about the world.
The harmony of our collective rests on respect, individual responsibility and the care given to our bonds. Every participant is invited to contribute to a space where everyone's boundaries, consent, diversity of experience and emotional safety are fully respected.
We reserve the right of access and participation for all our events. Any inappropriate behaviour may lead to immediate or permanent exclusion from our formats, with no possibility of a refund. This decision rests solely with the organising team and aims to preserve the integrity, safety and relational quality of our spaces.
Every trans woman, every person in transition, is welcome at delicious/mischievous. If you have a question, read our access framework, or write to us: we'll answer you personally.
what should I BRING?
Comfortable, loose clothes in which you feel good and pretty! Colours and floral patterns naturally find their place in the delicious/mischievous world — perhaps it's the moment to bring out your most beautiful kimono, if you feel like it.
Treats (fruit, pastries…) and/or a non-alcoholic drink (kombucha, kefir, lemonade, iced tea…) to share.
