🌲✨ Intimacy Winter Camp 2025–2026 ✨🌲
A Relational Playground for Intimacy, Embodiment & Connection
December 26, 2025 – January 4, 2026 (10 day experience) OR
December 27, 2025 – January 2, 2026 (7 day experience)
New Eden Retreat Center, The Netherlands
Intimacy Camp is a living, breathing movement that began in 2019. For seven years, we’ve been gathering each summer to create a unique relational playground… an adventurous container where adults explore intimacy in its fullest spectrum.
Here, intimacy means truly seeing and being seen.
It means connection beyond the superficial.
It means depth, meaning, and meeting each other from the heart.
It’s not just physical. It’s not even primarily sexual.
Intimacy is about presence, honesty, courage, and love.
Intimacy Camp is a movement to expand the range for what we call INTIMACY.
A New Chapter: Winter
Until now, Intimacy Camp has only ever been our summer pilgrimage. But this year, something new is being born: Intimacy Winter Camp.
Held during the magical liminal space between years (when 2025 hasn’t quite ended and 2026 hasn’t quite begun) we’ll step through the threshold together. We’ll deepen, explore, and celebrate in the glow of winter, wrapped in community warmth.
Families Welcome
For the first time ever, Intimacy Camp is opening its arms to families and children. This expansion means you can bring your whole family along for the adventure. Together we’ll create a multi-generational playground, weaving intimacy into family life, partnership, parenting, and connection with children.
What to Expect
Intimacy Camp is not a retreat or a training. It’s something different- hard to pin down with words.
The community itself is at the center of the experience.
Each day begins with the Community Gathering, where we come together to feel what’s alive in the group: what wants to be met, explored, expressed, and felt.
From there, the day unfolds in response to what emerges in the collective field.
Expect a mix of co-creation, play, spontaneous practices, relaxation, and celebration.
There will be whole-group spaces where everyone is together, alongside separate tracks for adults, families, and children. We’ll weave between these constellations in a seamless, supportive rhythm.
And most of all, you’re invited to bring your gifts, magic, and contributions - the medicine you long to experience and share.
✨ Come join us for this winter adventure into intimacy, embodiment, and Family Fun. Step into the new year surrounded by community, connection, and love. ✨

Pricing & Accessibility (Transparency)
We know this event takes place during a tender time of year, when many people may not have extra resources for gatherings like this. With this in mind, we’ve set the pricing as low as possible to make Intimacy Winter Camp accessible.
Families are especially close to our hearts in this expansion. We know the cost of attending an event like this, on top of travel, could otherwise make it impossible for many parents to join. It is our deepest intention to keep children’s tickets free.
To make this possible, we’re offering a sliding scale contribution:
The lowest end of the scale covers the bare minimum cost for a shared room.
If you’d like to share a room with your family, please let us know the names of each family member and how many beds you’ll need.
A private room upgrade might be available for an additional cost (depending on how many tickets are sold) added on top of your chosen sliding scale contribution (more info to come).
The sliding scale is intentionally wide. If you are in a financially abundant position, we warmly invite you to lean in with generosity. Your contribution helps cover the cost of children’s places and supports our community in weaving an event that remains open and accessible for everyone.
✨ Whether you give at the minimum or at the abundant end of the spectrum, you are helping create something truly precious: a multi-generational community gathering where intimacy, embodiment, and connection can flourish.
