What we’re about

At Mettā Holistic Health, our events are designed to be more than just gatherings—they’re intentional spaces for connection, creativity, and growth. We believe in the power of community to heal and inspire, so we curate experiences that invite people to come as they are and leave feeling more balanced, nourished, and supported.

From the deep resonance of a sound bath to the playful creativity of Paint & Sip nights, from open conversations about sexual health to restorative workshops for healthcare workers seeking to prevent burnout—our offerings are as diverse as the community we serve. Each event is crafted to spark curiosity, encourage self-expression, and foster well-being in ways that speak to different needs and passions.

Whether you’re here to learn, to share, or simply to find stillness, our events are an invitation to step into a safe, welcoming space where healing, creativity, and connection thrive.

Bodies, Pleasure, and Capitalism

Mettā Holistic Health, 6956 SW Hampton Street, Tigard, OR, US

This workshop explores the ways that capitalism impacts pleasure, both within ourselves and in relationship with others, and focuses on the collective and individual work of imagining a world of anti-capitalist pleasure practices.
Capitalism as a system is rooted in the false idea of scarcity. How does this scarcity mindset show up in our experiences of our bodies, pleasure, and relationships? How would it feel to think of these things in terms of expansiveness, instead of scarcity? What would it look like to build individual and relational anti-capitalist pleasure practices?
Participants in this workshop will:
· Identify some of the ways that capitalism and capitalist ideas show up in experiences of our bodies, pleasure, and relationships
· Discuss what pleasure could look like outside of capitalism and how we can use pleasure as a tool for dismantling capitalism
· Begin creating their own anti-capitalist pleasure practice
Note on what to expect:
This workshop will involve a combination of presentation, discussion, and activities. This is a presentation by a certified sexual health educator, and none of this workshop will involve touch or any sexual imagery. Pleasure as defined in this workshop is not limited to sexual pleasure, and anyone can participate regardless of what type of personal pleasure practice they are interested in exploring and expanding.
