OneTaste Festival
OneTaste is a business which was primarily dedicated to teaching the practices of ''orgasmic meditation'' (OM) and ''slow sex''. Though it embraced ideas based in Eastern philosophy, the central focus was a meditation practice around the sensation of a man touching a woman's genitalia. It was founded by Nicole Daedone in San Francisco. The company started to receive more widespread attention around 2007. As OneTaste grew and received more media attention, the organization was accused of cult-like operations, similar to Lafayette Morehouse, an intentional community of which Daedone was formerly member'. An exposé by Bloomberg in 2018 led to OneTaste being investigated by the FBI for sex trafficking, prostitution, and violations of labor law. Shortly thereafter, OneTaste closed all of their U.S. locations and stopped hosting in-person classes.

Rise Festival
Rise was a free anti-racism music festival held in London, England, from 1996 to 2008. Originally organised as an anti-racism festival by the Trades Union Congress (TUC), it was revived as such by the former mayor of London, Ken Livingstone. In June 2008, the Greater London Authority, under newly elected mayor Boris Johnson, removed the anti-racist message of the festival. Subsequently, the trade unions UNISON and Unite the Union withdrew their festival funding, and Johnson cancelled the festival in April 2009, blaming lack of sponsorship. When, in 1996, the festival was set up, it was originally called "Respect". While primarily a music festival, it also worked to encourage trade unions, Voluntary sector, voluntary groups, charities and community organisations to highlight their work and ideas concerning equality and the promotion of anti-racism. The original event took part in Finsbury Park and featured artists Chumbawamba, Fun-Da-Mental, Asian Dub Foundation and Incognito (ban ...
