LOS ANGELES—Pineapple Support hosts a series of online wellness workshops from Sept. 23 to 25 specifically aimed at adult industry members in the United Kingdom.
The three-day Virtual Wellness Event begins at 10 a.m. BST on Sept. 23. To register, click here.
“We’re really excited to bring this event to the U.K.,” said Pineapple Support founder Leya Tanit. “We'll be focusing on self-care, mental and physical well-being and education. There will be presentations from U.K.-based organizations NUM and Dean Street, as well as legal information from sex worker-positive law firm Gillen De Alwis Solicitors. To top it all off, the event will end with five hours of comedy and music to get feet moving and faces smiling.”
The event will feature Pineapple Support therapists, as well activities such as breathwork, meditation and workouts.
Tanit founded Pineapple Support in 2018 after a string of losses in the adult industry from depression and other mental illnesses. The organization, which is a registered 501(c)3 tax-deductible qualifying charity in the U.S. and a registered charity in the U.K., offers free and low-cost therapy, counseling and emotional support.
