✨ Desire Unchained 2027 – Palm Springs, CA ✨

October 14–18, 2026. [Registration closes Oct 7th 10am - or when tickets sell out]
Three days. Four nights. Endless play.
Welcome to the next evolution of Desire!

Desire Unchained brings together the boldest, brightest, kinkiest, most creative queer minds under one desert sky for a long weekend of deep exploration and celebration. Expect immersive 301-level and advanced classes, curated day-and-night play spaces, community rituals, and powerful moments of connection woven throughout the event.

The event is held at a boutique hotel with newly renovated rooms, and an amazing outdoor play maze, that will host many fun, unique, and one of a kind scenes all weekend long! This is NOT an outdoor camping event. Due to the size of the host hotel, most attendees will not have a room on-site. But there will be plenty of room for play, with the 3 pools, 2 jacuzzis, outdoor play maze, rope garden, and indoor dungeon. 

🔥 Celebrating THE 19th ANNIVERSARY of Desire

🎟️ Ticket Types

Standard WEEKEND Pass — $399 (Through November 15th)

The earlier you commit, the more you save!

Your all-access weekend pass includes classes, entertainment, play spaces, and full access to Desire Unchained from Thursday evening through Monday morning.

Ticket prices increase on the 15th of every month leading up to the event.

Why? As we get closer to Desire, the cost of producing the event increases. From equipment and supplies to staffing and last-minute logistics, securing resources becomes more expensive as our planning window gets shorter.

By purchasing early, you're helping us plan ahead, secure better rates, and put more of our budget toward creating an unforgettable experience for our community.

Same incredible experience. Better price when you plan ahead.

Lock in your ticket now before the next price increase!

♿ 🤟 Accessibility Support

At Desire Unchained, we're committed to creating an accessible, inclusive, and affirming experience for our disabled, Deaf, and Hard of Hearing (HoH) community members.

Planning ahead is essential! Accessibility accommodations require advance coordination, staffing, and sometimes specialized services. To ensure we can provide the best possible support, we've established the following deadlines:

📅 Important Accessibility Deadlines

July 1, 2027 — General Accessibility Requests

All accessibility needs, including mobility accommodations, physical access requirements, and other disability-related support, should be communicated to our Accessibility Coordinator by July 1, 2027.

September 1, 2027 — Deaf/HoH Class Communication Support

Requests for ASL interpretation or other Deaf/HoH communication accommodations for specific classes and educational programming must be submitted by September 1, 2027. Please identify the classes you plan to attend so we can coordinate appropriate support.

 How to Request Accommodations

When purchasing your ticket, check the Accessibility box during registration. Our Accessibility Coordinator will contact you directly to discuss your needs and help coordinate accommodations.

 Deaf & Hard of Hearing Attendees

Deaf/HoH attendees may bring one personal communication assistant at no additional ticket cost to support their participation in the event. Please coordinate this arrangement with our Accessibility Coordinator in advance.

Requests After the Deadlines

We understand that accessibility needs can change. Requests received after the published deadlines will be reviewed individually, and we'll make every reasonable effort to accommodate them. However, specialized services and staffing may be limited without sufficient advance notice.

Accessibility is part of building a community where everyone belongs. Help us plan ahead so we can make your Desire experience as welcoming and accessible as possible!

🏨 Lodging (VIPs ONLY)

Remaining onsite rooms will open for VIPs after staff & presenters choose their placements. Please book a nearby hotel in the meantime. Specific lodging announcements will be emailed to all attendees.

All other attendees should book accommodations nearby.

🖤 Community Culture & Safety

Desire Unchained is fiercely gender-queer, femme-focused, masc-accepting, POC-uplifting, consent-driven, trauma-aware, and intentionally inclusive. All genders within our gender policy and bodies/presentations remain affirmed throughout the weekend.
Respect, communication, and compassion guide every interaction.

Come ready to explore, connect, celebrate, and delight in everything that makes this community powerful.

🐕‍🦺 Service Animal Policy

Desire Unchained welcomes service animals as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and California law (including the Unruh Civil Rights Act and California Disabled Persons Act).

A service animal is a dog trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability. In limited circumstances, a miniature horse may also qualify.

Environmental Note:
Some Desire Unchained spaces may include loud sounds, crowding, sensory stimulation, or play environments that could be hazardous to service animals. If a space becomes unsafe for the animal, staff may support the handler in finding reasonable alternatives that do not restrict the handler’s participation.

Handler Responsibility:
Handlers are fully responsible for the care, behavior, and supervision of their service animal at all times.

2027 Program Adjustments

To keep Desire Unchained ticket costs accessible to as many community members as possible, we are making several thoughtful adjustments for 2027:

Limited 1:1 Sessions

• We are limiting the number of presenters this year and asking each educator to focus most on their large group classes, small group intensives, and public demo’s.
• As a result, 1:1 sessions will only be available to VIP pass holders, rather than all attendees. This will prevent overall ticket prices from doubling. While 1:1 education will still be a unique offering for Desire, the priority will be for group events available to as many attendees as possible.

🎟️ Ticket Refund, Transfer & Resale Policy

⛔ Ticket Refund Policy — Strictly Enforced

We understand that plans change! However, Desire Unchained operates on advance commitments, and ticket revenue directly supports event production, staffing, entertainment, and operational expenses.

Refunds are available ONLY when BOTH of the following conditions are met:

1. Your refund request is submitted within 30 calendar days of your original ticket purchase.
2. Your refund request is submitted more than 100 calendar days before the event begins.

If either deadline has passed, your ticket is nonrefundable. No exceptions to these deadlines.

To request a refund, forward your original order confirmation email to Sarge@desireunchained.com with the subject line "Ticket Refund Request." The date your email is received determines whether your request meets the deadlines.

🛡️ Optional Ticket Refund Protection

Concerned that something unexpected might prevent you from attending?

We encourage you to purchase optional refund protection at checkout. This coverage may provide reimbursement for qualifying unforeseen circumstances, including certain last-minute emergencies, subject to the protection provider's terms, conditions, and exclusions.

Refund protection is provided by a third party and does not change Desire Unchained's refund policy. Claims must be submitted directly to the protection provider.

🔄 Ticket Transfers & Resale

All ticket transfers, including resales, must be completed by October 1, 2027.

• The original ticket holder is responsible for coordinating any private payment arrangements.
• Tickets must be officially transferred into the new attendee's name through Desire Unchained's approved transfer process.
• No ticket transfers or resale-related name changes will be processed after October 1, 2027.
