Join host Bethany Burgoyne as she dives deep into the world of kink, cinema, and liberation with Venus Raven and Amy, the dynamic duo behind the London Fetish Film Festival (LFFF). Celebrating its fifth anniversary, LFFF is the ultimate fusion of fetish and film, born from Venus’s passion for cinema and her unapologetic embrace of BDSM culture. In this special episode, Venus and Amy share their journey, inspirations, and vision for this year's festival at Islington's Hen and Chicken's Theatre, where they’ll showcase films that are as provocative as they are empowering.

Fueled by a mission to dismantle harmful BDSM stereotypes and create an inclusive space for the LGBTQIA+ kink community, LFFF explores everything from the sensual to the subversive. Expect uncensored conversations about freedom of expression, fetish’s role in filmmaking, and how LFFF has carved a unique space for taboo topics on screen.

From tantra to storytelling: Founder of the School of Sensual Arts, Henika Patel, is inviting a worldwide community to come together and grow in personal, collective knowledge regarding sensuality. Busting through taboos and gathering around topics such as shame, Henika is all about diving more deeply into sensual spirits which she describes as being “our innate life force and expression; it’s how we see, taste, touch and feel."

In the SOSA, Henika uses somatic practices and ancient philosophy informed by her own culture to carry out the work she does “I’m Indian so I bring through some tantric and yogic philosophy which support the practices and help to instill them all the time”. She explains how “tantra is about making your life the meditation so it’s more this path of modern spirituality that you can do in the everyday” which allows people to engage and connect wherever they may be.

With a new book, Sensual, fresh on the shelf Henika Patel talks to us about the process to writing her debut work. She shares the way grief and wanting to turn her body back online led her on a sensual, spiritual journey, descfribing sensuality as being “this innate force within us and how it’s naturally there to be unraveled”. Through connection to a senseful lifestyle, Henika guides people through a combination of personal stories, practical exercises and ancient philsophy for everyone to engage with and learn from.
