DESIRE, aka Desire Leather Women Unleashed or Desire Leather Weekend, is a women’s BDSM event that takes place each year in Palm Springs, CA. It includes community presenters hosting educational workshops, private 1-on-1 instruction, and of course a multi-day outdoor play party.
DESIRE was founded by Olga and blu in 2004.
In 2018 DESIRE changed hands to Bikkja Amy and Naria Lei B. Jordan as the new owners and executive producers.
In 2024 DESIRE held it’s last event . . .
Seeing the void this left in the community, Sarge (IMsL 2015) and DESIRE Producer, stepped up to continue the legacy.
The passing of the torch in 2018 marked a new iteration of this cherished event, affectionately referred to as DESIRE 2.0. However it became clear that this next chapter would be about more than just adding a number. It would be about carrying forward the legacy and reimagining the future. With this in mind Sarge, accompanied by their girl meg, rebranded the event to Desire Unchained, reflecting a link to the past but a commitment to boundless possibilities.
Sarge’s vision for Desire Unchained extends beyond simply maintaining the event’s traditions—it is about fostering growth and expanding its offerings while staying deeply rooted in the rich history of the event and it’s community. Under their leadership, Desire Unchained is evolving into a robust and self-sustaining event that caters to an ever-diversifying audience. By honoring the foundations laid by its predecessors, this new chapter bridges the past and the future, ensuring that the values of inclusivity, education, and empowerment remain at its core.
Sarge and meg invite the community to join them on this journey, as Desire Unchained grows into a vibrant, inclusive, and enduring celebration of all that makes this community so powerful and unique.
