Slow Pleasure
Book •
In Slow Pleasure, Euphemia Russell blends somatics, embodiment practices, and social critique to reframe pleasure beyond sexual contexts and toward lived, everyday experiences.
The book introduces concepts like the pleasure spectrum and contrasts different experiences of time (Kronos and Kairos) to show how presence and spaciousness cultivate deeper pleasure.
Russell offers practical exercises and reflective prompts after sections to ground philosophical ideas in bodily practice.
She emphasizes collective healing, decolonizing somatic knowledge, and building rituals that allow people to savor and reconnect with their bodies and communities.
The book aims to help readers expand capacity for feeling, reduce shame, and imagine more pleasure-centered ways of living together.
