what it is
delicious/mischievous is a sapphic community built on consent and care: attuned, tender & playful events for women who love women. A space for authentic connection through listening, care & body awareness. A bubble of magic, joy and belonging dedicated to all the malicieuses, with or without experience, single or in a couple, of all ages and all orientations.

the manifesto
We live in a strange time for love: it has never been so easy to find one another, and rarely so hard to meet — and beneath this lies an immense need for connection between women. delicious/mischievous was born of a gesture: to institute. To build, patiently, places where you are no longer looked at, sized up, assessed, but received as you present yourself; a room of one's own become collective. A work by artists whose material is the relationship itself, a community without a centre, which blossoms wherever women decide to bring it to life. A refuge, not to hide in: a place you leave freer.

who are the malicieuses?
This sapphic space is open to all women attracted to other women — whether you're lesbian, bi, pan or simply curious. Age is never a selection criterion, and participants are generally between 25 and 55. The events are suited to single people as well as to those coming as a couple.
the shy and the introverted
If the idea of meeting new people usually intimidates you, this framework is made for you. Here, there's no need to make conversation or to "perform" socially: the exercises guide you step by step, and you always have the right simply to observe. Come exactly as you are, with your shyness, your hesitations or your awkwardness: that is precisely why this space was created!
those who want to explore their boundaries
If you sometimes find it hard to say "no", to know what you want, or if you tend to forget yourself in your relationships with others, this space is a wonderful playground (and a gentle one!) to practise setting your boundaries in complete safety.
those seeking gentleness without pressure
You simply want to slow down, drink some tea, meet lovely people and let yourself be carried by a caring framework, without any expectation or stakes.
The malicieuses are also the women who bring the house to life and give it its colour.
those who create
You write poems, compose, sing, play an instrument, draw, take photographs, dance, embroider or invent worlds? Our community is deeply creative, and your sensibility has its full place here. Nothing is asked of you, though: no stage to conquer, no talent to prove. If you feel like sharing a creation, it will be welcomed; if not, your presence is enough.
those who know how to hold a space
You know how to create the right atmosphere, welcome people, put others at ease, get the conversation flowing or guide a group? We are always looking for hosts and facilitators. Depending on what suits you, you can become an angèle, alongside the tinsha, or follow the training that leads to becoming a qualified tinsha.
those who want to get involved
You'd like to contribute, in your own way, to growing a living sapphic culture: welcoming, setting up, decorating, spreading the word about our gatherings, bringing a new idea? Volunteers are the beating heart of delicious/mischievous, and every commitment counts, from the most occasional to the most regular.
those looking for their community
You've just arrived in a city, you're coming out of a relationship, you're asking yourself questions, or you simply want friendships that feel like you? Here, people come back from one date to the next and recognise each other: it's a club, a house, a refuge.
You recognise yourself here and would like to create, hold the space or get involved with us? Write to us at hello@deliciousmischievous.com.
As with all our events, no previous experience is required. Whether you're outgoing or more shy, single or in a couple, you are welcome with everything you are.
Every trans woman, every person in transition, is welcome at delicious/mischievous. If you have a question, read our access framework, or write to us: we'll answer you personally.

what won't happen to you
Touch is never implied.
Every activity is clearly explained and requires explicit consent. Here, everything is an invitation: you choose what to experience, how, with whom and with what intensity.
Nothing is ever imposed on you.
Nothing is ever compulsory. At any time, you're free to participate, simply observe or step away to honour your own pace.
There is no alcohol.
The event is free from alcohol and drugs. Please do not take substances that could alter your awareness, either at the venue or before the event.
Our immersive events are alcohol-free. The afterwork, however, takes place in a bar — it's the one format where we raise a glass.
No one photographs you without your agreement.
Phone use is limited during the event. No photographs or videos may be taken without the explicit agreement of everyone concerned.
Nothing you experience leaves the room without your agreement.
What is shared, experienced or observed during the event remains confidential and must not be shared outside it without the explicit consent of those concerned.
a facilitated space
At delicious/mischievous, encounters rely neither on improvisation nor on social pressure. The experience takes place in what we call "a facilitated space": a relational framework guided with care, designed so that you can take part in complete confidence.
Gentle grounding
Every event begins with an opening circle. It's a time to settle in, share your inner weather and set out your boundaries for the day.
Caring guidance
Our facilitator holds the space. She marks its thresholds and opens and closes each part. She offers gradual invitations to connect (through play, listening and movement) and ensures the integrity of the experience.
Consent as our compass
Every activity is clearly explained and requires explicit consent. Here, everything is an invitation: you choose what to experience, how, with whom and with what intensity.
Your absolute sovereignty
Nothing is ever compulsory. At any time, you're free to participate, simply observe or step away to honour your own pace. Those coming as a couple can also choose to experience it just as a pair, in their own bubble.
This framework creates a space of confidentiality and collective responsibility. It allows you to release the pressure, listen to yourself fully and explore relating with gentleness and authenticity, without any expectation or judgement.

two hours, from homeheart to heart online
"Heart to heart" is our workshop dedicated to authentic relating and the power of the circle — here, online, from home.
connected, even through a screen
They say a screen creates distance. Authentic relating proves exactly the opposite: all that remains is the voice, the gaze, and what you dare to say.
from your cocoon
Your blanket. Your tea. Your door closed. And us.
and what if I say nothing?
Then you'll say nothing. And that will be taking part.
being seen, being heard
There are no expectations, nothing to prove. Just the experience of being fully seen, heard and welcomed — exactly as you are.
It isn't a webinar, nor yet another Zoom meeting: it's a relational laboratory. Together we explore verbal and emotional intimacy, caring curiosity, and the power of resonance within a group of women.
While we often think a screen creates distance, the practice of authentic relating proves exactly the opposite. Taking part from home, in your familiar space (with your blanket, your tea), allows your nervous system to settle much more quickly, making deep vulnerability and authenticity easier.
No experience needed, no need to "know what to say": simple, guided structures carry you from beginning to end. This format breaks down the geographical barriers of our in-person events.

The waiting room opens: you arrive, you settle in.
the opening circle
A time to settle in, share your weather of the moment and set out your boundaries for the day. Then the door closes, to preserve the framework set together.
authentic relating games
In pairs or small groups, simple, guided structures: curiosity, empathy and play to get to know each other.
the circle of the malicieuses
Each from her own screen, a space of complete listening.
And two hours later, we say goodbye. At every step, you remain free to watch rather than do.
Consent is our common language — even through a screen.
the length of a workshopthe discovery workshop
The discovery workshop is the ideal way into the delicious/mischievous world: a gentle, accessible format to taste your sovereignty. In a simple, warm and reassuring setting, come and make consent a true playground: learn to listen to your real impulses, allow yourself to say yes or no without justifying yourself, and discover the joy of a space where your boundaries are fully celebrated.
You can come even if you're shy, hesitant, awkward or full of questions. Here, nothing is expected of you: you're free to participate, observe or take a break at any time.
to begin
Landing & somatic grounding
After our opening circle, we'll take a moment of somatic grounding to settle our nervous system. It's an essential decompression airlock to slow down, leave everyday life at the door and arrive fully in the space and in your body.
then
Connection & authentic relating games
We'll then dive into a series of "authentic relating games" (attentive ice-breakers). In pairs or small groups, through simple, guided structures, we'll use curiosity, empathy and play to get to know each other. It's a lively, joyful moment to release mental pressure, have fun and create an early sense of closeness in the group.
at the heart of the workshop
The shared brunch
A tasty break together around a shared buffet (coffee, fruit, sweet treats…), to talk freely and nourish the bond in a simple, human way. Everyone brings a treat to share.
to finish
Structures of belonging
In the last part of the workshop, we experience structures of belonging together — what is called safety, love & belonging. Simple, guided invitations to feel what it is like to be welcomed by a group: to receive the attention of others, to offer them yours, and to feel that you have your place among them. Then the closing circle closes the space.
No experience is required: everything happens step by step, with clear invitations, explained and always optional.

the founderthe one who opened the house
Alice Kielo
creator and founder
Inspired by a vision of re-enchanting the world, Alice's work follows an attuned, poetic creative approach, in which each offering is conceived as a bouquet, a living composition. She conceives delicious/mischievous as an artistic experience of connection: a new language of intimacy made of presence, care and beauty. This vision infuses the aesthetics and ethics of every encounter and, as events unfold, shapes the heart of the community.
Alice develops spaces where grace, music and attentive touch become doorways to authentic, intimate encounters. Dance as a philosophy, spontaneous movement and the idea of relational attunement hold a central place, attentive to presence, the right gesture and the utter simplicity of the moment.
Alice has trained professionally in relational and somatic facilitation through outstanding international programmes. Her qualifications include Field Facilitator (Rachel Rickards), Integral Tantra Teacher (Jacques Ferber) and Tantric Dance Teacher (Rakesh Mijling). Her approach is trauma-informed, with constant attention to emotional safety, consent and respect for individual rhythms.
She is also the creator of the Laboratoire de l'Intime workshops.
your wordsthey were there
I had a very gentle, lovely time at a malicieuse initiation. It helped me reconnect with my desires and regain confidence in myself.
The malicieuse initiation is a real gem! I was looking for a space where I could reconnect with my body and with other women. Everything is designed so that you feel at ease and as safe as possible. The atmosphere was both comforting and liberating. I'll be back.
I spent a day outside of time, in a space full of gentleness, respect and kindness. It helped me slow down, reconnect with my body and taste the tenderness and magic of authentic encounter.

the questions you ask us
I've never done this before. Is that a problem?
As with all our events, no previous experience is required. Whether you're outgoing or more shy, single or in a couple, you are welcome with everything you are.
Will I have to touch someone?
Nothing is ever compulsory. At any time, you're free to participate, simply observe or step away to honour your own pace.
You're curious to discover our spaces but you'd prefer an experience without physical contact.
I'm very shy, and I don't know anyone.
If the idea of meeting new people usually intimidates you, this framework is made for you. Here, there's no need to make conversation or to "perform" socially: the exercises guide you step by step, and you always have the right simply to observe. Come exactly as you are, with your shyness, your hesitations or your awkwardness: that is precisely why this space was created!
I'm coming as a couple — is that possible?
Those coming as a couple can also choose to experience it just as a pair, in their own bubble.
Is there alcohol?
The event is free from alcohol and drugs. Please do not take substances that could alter your awareness, either at the venue or before the event.
Our immersive events are alcohol-free. The afterwork, however, takes place in a bar — it's the one format where we raise a glass.
Who facilitates, and with what training?
Our facilitator holds the space. She marks its thresholds and opens and closes each part. She offers gradual invitations to connect (through play, listening and movement) and ensures the integrity of the experience.
How many of us are there?
Our events are generally limited to 25 participants.
What should I bring?
Comfortable, loose clothes in which you feel good and pretty! Colours and floral patterns naturally find their place in the delicious/mischievous world — perhaps it's the moment to bring out your most beautiful kimono, if you feel like it. Treats (fruit, pastries…) and/or a non-alcoholic drink (kombucha, kefir, lemonade, iced tea…) to share.
Is there a spiritual, religious or therapeutic dimension?
No. delicious/mischievous is 100% secular: there is no spiritual, religious or therapeutic practice. Our approach is relational, artistic and community-based — facilitated spaces, held by professional facilitators.
I'm a trans woman — am I welcome?
Yes. Every trans woman, every person in transition, is welcome at delicious/mischievous. You have nothing to prove, and no step of any path to have taken. If you have a question, read our access framework, or write to us: we'll answer you personally.
