Intimate Roots stands for a conscious and loving relationship with the nature that surrounds us, with our bodies, with ourselves, with our sexuality, and with each other. Toward all of this, we aim to practice the greatest possible care and awareness.

At Intimate Roots, we want to offer you the possibility to connect with yourself, with nature, and with other people. These connections and interactions can take place on many different levels and may (but do not have to) unfold in a sensual and/or sexual way — even with nature.

We experience it as deeply beautiful and healing to create a temporary community with many different people in which nudity and sexuality are allowed, accepted, and welcome.A unique space where you can play, explore, and learn more about your own needs, while also feeling safe. Such a space naturally requires certain agreements and shared guidelines that make it possible for us to meet each other in an open and experimental way.

We actively stand for diversity and inclusion. Everyone is welcome, regardless of gender, sexuality, nationality, or other aspects often targeted by discrimination. Even though we are continuously learning, we aim to foster a diverse and inclusive community — not only during the event, but beyond.

We believe that a consent-based community is the only way for connection and intimacy to flourish collectively. Therefore, we strive to create an atmosphere of awareness, mutual respect, and empathy.A space where we honor our own wishes and boundaries as well as those of others; where we ask first, check in with each other, and then act.

This way of relating is not limited to the human world, but can also be beautifully extended to our relationship with the more-than-human world. We want to meet the forest, the meadows, and all beings who call this place home with care and respect. We also wish to honor the land and the people who take care of it, and to leave the place at least as beautiful as we found it.

At Intimate Roots, you can expect an intensive and diverse program that invites you on a deep journey: in connection with yourself, nature, and the community. We have prepared many inspiring impulses that will stimulate your senses, heart, and mind. To fully unfold the potential of this experience, we invite you to participate with openness and commitment. Punctuality and conscious presence help all of us to enter a shared flow.

At the same time, it is very important to us that you take good care of yourself. You are always welcome to take breaks or skip parts of the program if that feels right for you.Some workshops may invite you to explore your comfort zones and open to new experiences and you are always free to participate or not. You can also decide at any moment what feels good and what does not, and communicate this. There will always be alternative offers or other nourishing things to do if you feel like stepping out of something.

Self-responsibility is a core value for us: only do what you truly want to do, and only be where you want to be.

We also want to protect our own privacy and the privacy of others.This includes not taking photos or recordings without consent, and not sharing names or stories that are not your own.

If you can imagine becoming sexually intimate with others, we encourage you to practice safer sex : for example by getting tested before the event and/or bringing your preferred safer-sex supplies.

Sobriety creates authenticity.

 

We often use substances to distance ourselves from feelings or to alter our state of consciousness. While we do not generally judge the use of mind-altering substances, during Intimate Roots we aim for clarity and authenticity — within ourselves and in our interactions. Therefore, we have chosen to create a sober space and invite you to try this with us. We trust that we can create magical and connecting moments together even without substances — promised ;)
