Pleasure Rebels

This month’s special guest on The Kinky Coffee Break is Bear Phillips ☕🎙️

We’re so excited to welcome Bear back to The Kinky Coffee Break for a conversation exploring Big/Little dynamics, care, healing, inner child work, and conscious kink, and how these themes intertwine within intimate relationships and play. Alongside this, we chat about his upcoming book “DADDY! The Healing Power of Big/Little Play: An Anthology” and the deeper conversations it invites around vulnerability, trauma, roleplay, and human connection.

For those discovering Bear for the first time, here’s a little more about him and his work:

Bear Phillips (he/ him) is a poly-s*xual, polyamorous, and kinky-slut by night, and a trauma-informed bodyworker and a s*x & love coach by day. In his coaching with men, he works with questions of masculinity and how patriarchy impacts our ability to have meaningful and authentic relationships.

Bear has been involved in various forms of therapy and personal development for more than half his life, having recently completed the *Compassionate Inquiry Professional Training* with Gabor Maté.

Edited by Bear Phillips & Ellie Rose, “DADDY! The Healing Power of Big/little Play: An Anthology”, on the transformative potential of inner-child work, role-play and conscious kink, will be published in eBook and hardcopy formats on Friday 12th June 2026.

You can find Bear at bearphillips.co.uk or on Substack at bearphillips1.substack.com. He’s also on Instagram at and Facebook at facebook.com/bearphillipsUK

We’re back this June with another Dancing Your ALIVENESS! 🪩✨

A q***r-led, trans-celebrating, clothing optional space to let go, drop into your body, and allow yourself to be fully expressed through movement, music, and connection. No choreography, no pressure, no expectations – just an invitation to move however feels true for you.

Whether you come to release, reconnect, explore, or simply be with community, you’re so welcome here 💛

This time we’re back on a Sunday afternoon, and of course have the fabulous DJ Luke Fox returning to the decks 💿

Sunday 28th June - Salford, Manchester 🏳️‍⚧️💜🏳️‍🌈

One thing we really care about as part of the q***r kink community is sharing other spaces, events, and people that are doing beautiful work around intimacy, consent, connection, and care 💜

Our friends over at Quintimacy are running a 3-day immersive event in Salford (12–14th June) exploring q***r intimacy, embodiment, communication, consent, kink, and play in a trauma-informed and genuinely welcoming environment.

Whether you’ve been to a Quintimacy space before or you’re completely new and feeling a bit nervous about stepping into these kinds of spaces for the first time, you’re welcome there. Beck and Skylar do such an incredible job of creating an environment where people can explore at their own pace, and the whole weekend is structured around different “Levels” to support wherever you are in your kink journey.

Meet the team behind The Rope Immersion!

Here are the wonderful people who help shape our annual Sh***ri day retreat – each bringing their own experience, presence, and unique way of combining rope and connection.

Joining me again as guest teachers are Christian Red and EntwinedStar ✨

Together, we’ll be guiding you through embodied, consent-led rope exploration designed to support both curiosity and depth.

We’re also so lucky to have TiedForThirst Photography returning to capture the day—offering beautiful, intentional documentation of your rope creations should you wish to take something home with you 📸

And, of course, we have our fabulous crew members Bambi and Fennel, who many of you will know from other Pleasure Rebels events and courses.
It’s such an honour to work alongside such talented humans, and I’m excited to share this space with you!

Join us on Saturday 6th June 2026 in Leek, Staffordshire.

Been wondering if The Rope Immersion is for you? 👀 You’re definitely not alone.

Exploring Sh***ri can feel daunting when you don’t have loads of experience yet – especially if you’re worried everyone else will already know exactly what they’re doing.

That’s exactly why, at Pleasure Rebels, it’s been my mission to create kink-oriented spaces that feel welcoming, comfy, low-pressure, and genuinely supportive of learning. Spaces where you’re allowed to ask questions, make mistakes, experiment, laugh, pause, try again – and most importantly, leave feeling more empowered.

The Rope Immersion is our full-day retreat experience: a whole day together in a gorgeous house and surrounding grounds in the Peak District, exploring rope indoors, outdoors, in pairs, solo, creatively, technically, and playfully.

This space is for those of you who already have some basic experience of tying or being tied. Maybe you’ve completed our Intro to Sh***ri course or workshop already and want to build on that, or have picked up some of the basics elsewhere. You absolutely do not need to arrive knowing exactly what you’re doing and it’s OK if you don’t have a regular rope practice.
It’s a fun, sober, consent-centred day of rope exploration with brilliant teachers, beautiful surroundings, plenty of practice time, and a lovely group of people all figuring things out together.

If you’ve been wanting to deepen your rope journey without the pressure or intimidation… this might be your space! 💜

They will be back this year to capture the day and optional photos of your rope creations should you wish to take something home with you 📸

We’re so excited to be returning to this beautiful space for the third year in a row!

Once again, we’ll be calling the stunning Basford Hurst Cottage our home for the day, nestled at the foot of the Peak District. A private house and grounds that has become the home of The Rope Immersion – chosen again for its calm, privacy, and ability to hold a full day of deep, embodied learning.

From the spacious workshop spaces, to the peaceful outdoor grounds, and the beautiful dining hall, every part of this place supports the natural rhythm of the day.

We’re really grateful to return here!
