★★★★★ " The Intimate Playground Retreat was one of the most empowering sex-positive events my partner and I have attended. Many elements made this true, but at the top of this list are the three facilitators Raminta, Annika and Elke. These three, powerful women placed their feet deep in the earth and led our group to co-create of an incredible space of confidence and safety: a space where we felt brave enough to ask for what we wanted, and to do so without shame, to feel confident that we were within our boundaries when we offered a "yes", and to receive every "no" with joy, gratitude and respect... Add to this the verdant location, and the wonderful vegan food, and there is nothing I can offer except praise and gratitude. Thank you for sending my partner and I home floating on a cloud of bliss."

★★★★★ "My heart is still full from this weekend. What a beautiful group, place and incredible facilitators. I felt so safe and comfortable to fully let go because Raminta, Elke and Annika held the space so beautifully. These wonderful women really know what they're doing and I was so amazed by the way they could keep it so professional in a very relaxed way. I felt seen, held and taken care of. The exercises were well thought out and weaved everything together to a beautiful flow throughout the weekend. If you hesitate to book, this is your sing to book now! You will not regret it. I met wonderful humans and together we were brave, open, vulnerable, supporting, a family. Thanks also to the lovely kitchen crew, who filled our stomachs with yummy healthy food the whole weekend and always with a smile.When I close my eyes, I go back to the place with the wonderful people and a smile. I'm so grateful for this experience. Thank you."

- Hugs & Love, Mel

FAQ

How do I know if my participation is accepted?

From the event publication date you will hear from us within 2 weeks after filling out your application. As the date of the retreat becomes closer the response will be quicker, within 72hrs. In some cases, we may request additional information. Please fill in the form sincerely and completely to save us all some energy :)

Why do we need to fill out a form? How do you decide who attends?

We wish to offer our participants the best environment and group for safe(r) and conscious exploration. Any decisions we make about who is invited will be based on these principles of cohesion and safety- no decisions are made based on sexuality, appearance, race, body, status, or demographics. We welcome all genders.

Why am I asked about my gender? Will there not be "too many men"? And are you LGBTQIA+ friendly?

The answer is no, there will not be, because we will be creating a balanced group, for everyone involved. We prioritize creating a diverse and balanced group that caters to everyone's needs (meaning also every group can be different and we plan accordingly to it). We recognize and respect the wide spectrum of gender identities. When you register, we ask for your pronoun to ensure coherent group assembling. It's important to us to foster an environment where everyone feels welcomed and valued, regardless of age, sexual orientation, or identity. YES, we are LGBTQIA+ friendly.

Where does the price of the retreat come from?

Our intention for this retreat is to be as accessible as possible to as many people as possible while still covering the costs of the venue, taxes, hired chefs, food costs, promotion, administration work (before & after), facilitation and wrapping up (the preparation for such an event takes an immense amount of hours to create a high-quality experience).

What is the Sisterhood ticket and who is it intended for?

The Sisterhood ticket is a special offer aimed at balancing the discrepancies in earning potential and realities of being a female identifying person in a patriarchal environment. Because there are a limited number of Sisterhood tickets, if you are able to support our work and women of lower income by paying for the regular priced ticket, we request that you do. We acknowledge that the offer is specified and inspired by our own cis women team's experience and does not include other gender and non-gender identify groups.

Can I get my deposit back?

· The ticket deposit is both non-refundable and non-transferable under any circumstances. If you decide to cancel up to 21 days before the event, you have the option to receive a voucher for another retreat within one year.
· If one of you cannot come from the Pair ticket and it means another one cannot come, the same cancellation policy applies. We count it as 2 tickets.
· Organisers have a right to cancel someone's registration when they e.g. misplanned and can not open the space together, or ask someone to leave the retreat if they are disruptive for the group - without refund.
· 72 hr cancellations before the event you will be invoiced the whole ammount.
