Maybe check in with your body? As you read, notice what moves: maybe a soft yes, a hesitation, a curiosity, a gentle tingling, a quiet feeling of numbness. All of that belongs. This space may be for you if something in you is leaning toward: -a longing for aliveness, sensuality, and connection that wants to be shared, within a temporary community -spending time in nature not just as a scenery, but as a living presence you are curious to relate with more intimately -questioning urgency, expectations, and inherited scripts around intimacy, sexuality, and relating -rest that is communal, care that is reciprocal, and connection that doesn’t need to be forced -not fully knowing why you are drawn, but feeling a resonance with the questions we are holding If something in your body pauses here, if curiosity flickers, or if the questions feel strangely familiar, that may already be enough :)

Not necessarily, but you should already have done some inner work and feel emotionally well enough to navigate such a container or ask for help if you need it. There will only be a small session of consent as a common basis, so pre-experience is helpful and wished for, although this is not a space for being an expert on boundaries and needs, knowing all your kinks or doing something “right”. We move slowly. You can try things out! Practices are always guided, optional, and layered. You’re invited to meet yourself where you are, not where you think you should be. If you do have experience, you’re very welcome too! With the invitation to let go of performance, certainty, or knowing: discovering new layers of human imperfection and ways of relating. Lets learn how to gracefully stumble together and meet again with curiosity.

All genders, sexual orientations, relationship constellations, and identities are welcome. You will never be expected to engage in practices based on gender, sexuality, or identity assumptions. Language, structures, and consent frameworks are designed to be inclusive and flexible. Nevertheless, we still have a long pathway to go, unlearning internalized trans-, homophobia and cis/binary normativity. So please help each other out by calling in mistakes, taking up responsibility and being an ally if one is more sensitive to power and wordings already. And please dont expect perfection. We ourselves are in a constant learning process and we surely still have blind spots and do not adress issues and power structures in a perfect way. But we are open to learn and connect along the way :)

People with disabilities, chronic conditions, and access needs are welcome. Please contact us in advance; we will discuss possible support, though full accessibility cannot always be guaranteed. Accompanying/support persons (UKB) are possible by prior arrangement. The site includes hilly terrain, forest paths, and camping and is not wheelchair accessible. The event takes place in spoken English and German, Loud music is limited to certain time periods; quiet hours, low-stimulation retreat spaces, and rest times are available. The majority of people will be white positioned, speak German as their first language and are avarage in their mid 30's. An Awareness Team will be present throughout the event to support in cases of discrimination, boundary crossings or emotional distress.

this is a Post-sex-positive space, meaning: we open a container that allows our sexual existence (so often excluded, over emphazised or controlled) to be present without making it central. We honour and celebrate the diversity consensual expressions of sexuality, while holding sexuality as a possibility of connecting among many. We use the word Intimacy at Intimate Roots in terms of all layers of connection: emotional, communal, physical, mentally. With all of them we are offering guidance to not rush, not perform, but question inherited patterns. Intimacy can show up as e.g. touch, or not-touch, shared attention a honest conversation movement, dance, or stillness laughter, tears, resonance conflict, difference, holding someone accountable There will be facilitated moments within clear and recognisable frameworks where sexual or sensual exploration may be possible: with oneself, with others, or beyond human. Participation in nudity or sexual interaction is always optional and never expected. Sexual activity is neither required nor guaranteed, and always held within a broader web of consent, boundaries, and respect for existing relationships.

Every gathering carries expectations. You have them, we have them and they are shaped by our past experiences, hopes, fears, and projections. We can't drop them, neither do we ask you to do so. We invite you (and us) to notice and dance with them. This event is not a product with guaranteed outcomes. It is a relational field that will unfold through the interaction of up to 50 people, the land we are on, and the structures we hold. However, we have designed a clear framework and within that framework, space for emergence. What we have consciously prepared includes: guided somatic and sensory practices facilitated workshops for relational and sensual exploration time in nature and in the forest moments of movement, play, dance, and music moments of rest, reflection, and integration clear consent frameworks and boundary practices space to connect and space to be with yourself The structure is intentional. The outcomes are not predetermined. Some experiences may feel nourishing. Some may feel intense. Some may feel ordinary. You may feel connection. You may feel distance. You may feel both within the same 10 minutes. It will emerge through how we meet each other. What you shouldn’t expect: fixed outcomes feeling safe and comfortable all the time : it’s going to be an intense journey in a group of up to 50 people - of course we have our (and collective) baggage of disconnection, strategies to stay lonely, shame on us, feel rejected, BUT hopefully finding ways of meeting again with more softness. Neither saving the planet, ending all problems, sexism, racism or what so ever in 5 days - lets be gentle on each other. You can expect choice & support by the Host & Facilitators, Awareness Team and the Event Community.

The event is partly bilingual: English & German. Most facilitation will be in English Depending on the number of people speaking only one of these languages, changes might be made. Small-group sharing may happen in mixed or single-language groups You don’t need perfect English or German. Presence matters more than fluency. Whisper Translation can most times be given.
