Pleasure & Belonging is a space dedicated to nurturing community and relationality at the intersection of embodiment, spirituality, sensuality, and care.

As a proudly owned space by a trans, neurodivergent, disabled, and immigrant team with white privilege, we strive to center disability justice, neuroinclusivity, gender expansiveness, and abolitionist values.

We are grateful to live and work in the Dakota and Anishinaabe territories on the shore of Gichigamiing (Lake  Superior) in Duluth, MN. We honor the traditional custodians of this land past, present, and emerging. We’re committed to supporting Indigenous movements for land back, water protection, and decoloniality. 

We acknowledge the harm that has been, and continues to be perpetrated towards the Indigenous custodians of this land. We understand that the settler-colonial project is ongoing, and that it impacts the daily wellbeing of Indigenous communities, including endangering the lives of Two-Spirit and gender expansive people, women, and children.
