About Desire Unchained
DESIRE began in 2004 as Desire Leather Women Unleashed, a groundbreaking women-centered BDSM gathering in Palm Springs. It quickly became a cornerstone event, blending education, community, and unapologetic play. Over the years, DESIRE evolved under new leadership, carrying forward a legacy rooted in empowerment, skill-building, and connection. When it came to an end in 2024, it left a real gap, one the community felt immediately.
Desire Unchained: The Next Era
Desire Unchained is the continuation, and evolution, of the DESIRE legacy. Led by Sarge and Meg (S&M), we’re not just preserving what DESIRE was, we’re expanding what it can be.
At our core, we’re about:
- Education from world-class presenters
- Exploration in intentional, consent-forward play spaces
- Community centered on women and gender-diverse kinksters
This is Desire, unchained, reimagined; more inclusive, more expansive, and built for the future.
