We see you.

You’re longing for more than just surface level connections.

You’re ready for a community that feels like home—a place where you can relax into who you truly are and connect with others in a way that feels authentic and supportive. You long to be seen and heard, not just for the parts of you that fit in, but for the fullness of who you are.

It’s a community where you can explore intimacy, connection, and belonging in a way that honours your uniqueness and your humanity. Here, you’re invited to shed the masks, and step into a new way of relating—to yourself, to others, and to the world around you. This is where you come to deepen your relationships, build community, and feel the support you deserve as you grow into the fullest expression of yourself.

The Pillars of Embodied Love

Self-Responsibility + Collective Care   

We honor the balance between owning our personal growth and actively supporting each other’s journeys. Individual responsibility meets collective care, creating a space where we rise together through mutual respect and shared accountability.

Nuance + Messiness  

Life is full of complexity, and we embrace the beauty in imperfection. Here, we allow for the messiness of being human, celebrating the full spectrum of our experiences without judgment or the need for neatness.

Respect + Inclusivity
We recognise that society often centers heteronormativity and neurotypical experiences, but here, we celebrate diversity in all its beautiful forms. As a queer-led community, we welcome and honour individuals of all genders, sexual orientations, and identities. Our commitment is to create a space where everyone feels seen, valued, and heard—a space where every voice matters and where authenticity is embraced.
Nervous System Care
We understand the importance of safety and regulation in the body. Nervous system care ensures that we honor our physical and emotional boundaries, encouraging you to find the right pace for you, and integration.
Sacredness + Ceremony
Through rituals, ceremonies, and mindful practices, we create sacred spaces that invite reverence, connection, and deep reflection on our shared experiences.
Sustainability + Stewardship
We are committed to living in harmony with the Earth and each other. Sustainability and stewardship guide our choices, ensuring that we care for the planet and its resources while caring for the land and each other.
Expression + Play
We invite authentic self-expression, encouraging playful exploration that fosters deep connection and opens the door to new possibilities in love, creativity, and life.
Collaboration + Co-Creation
Together, we build something greater than ourselves. Collaboration and co-creation empower us to build something greater than ourselves, uniting our collective vision, talents, and energy to create meaningful change, while honoring the unique contributions of each individual in our shared journey.

This life-changing event is for if…

  • You’re 40 and under and crave the vibrant energy of a festival, paired with the retreat-level luxury of nourishing meals and the life changing depth of a personal development journey.
  • You’re ready to connect with new people and co-create a supportive, heart-centered community.
  • You want to transform the way you approach dating and relationships, opening up to deeper, more meaningful connections.
  • You’re curious about exploring intimacy, sexuality, and love in a playful, experimental, and sober environment.
  • You’ve already started your personal development journey and feel called to expand your edges in intimacy, creating a more aligned, fulfilling love life.

This isn’t your jam if…

  • You’re over 40. This festival is tailored to those 40 and under because we recognize that this age group shares unique experiences around sex education, sexuality, and relational dynamics. By creating events specific to their needs, we aim to foster a sex-positive community that provides the right support and holding for this generation. If you’re over 40, we warmly invite you to explore our sister event, Emergent Eros, which is open to all ages.
  • You’re attending this sex positive event with the sole expectation of hookups.
  • You’re seeking a place for recreational drug use or alcohol. This is a sober event focused on embodied experiences and conscious connection.
  • You prefer a mind focused approach over somatic, body-based practices. This festival emphasises embodied learning, self-discovery, and experiential practices over purely cognitive approaches.
  • You’re unable to commit to the full duration of the event. To honor the carefully crafted journey, we ask all participants to stay for the entire experience.

Embodied Love FAQ

Yes – this event is curated so that you can come by yourself, with friends or a partner. We have many people who come solo, and come for the first time. We offer optional pre-festival calls if you would like to meet others before you come!

Absolutely! Our workshops are designed to be a transformative experience, offering powerful opportunities for both individual growth and deepening intimacy together.

You have full freedom to navigate the festival in the way that feels best for you—whether that means participating in all activities as a couple or exploring certain sessions individually. Your needs and boundaries will always be honored.

We encourage you to have an open conversation with your partner about your relationship agreements and intentions before the festival, ensuring that you both feel clear, aligned, and ready for this experience

Certain parts of the schedule, such as our consent workshop and pod sharings, are required. This is to support your holding throughout the event, the cohesion of the relational field, and that we all have the same language around consent

Beyond these, we invite you to follow your own inner authority—pacing yourself, honoring your body’s needs, and allowing space for integration. Dedicated integration time is already woven into the schedule, so you can move through the experience in a way that feels nourishing and aligned for you.

No. You can attend the whole festival without getting naked. Some sessions may be clothing optional, so you get to choose what feels right for you.

No. This is an alcohol and intoxicant-free event. As part of our Code of Engagement, we ask that you honour this as part of the experience. If you are intoxicated, we may ask you to leave to honour our agreements around sobriety.

The Leela coffee shop will be open daily. Serving coffee and sweet treats.

Yes. The Wellbeing Centre will be open with qualified practitioners and therapists available. Closer to the festival, we will share what treatments are available such as massage, bodywork, and reduced cost 1:1 sessions with facilitators.

Embodied Love and Emergent Eros are sister events rooted in trauma informed practice and  inspired by Culture of Care. 

While Embodied Love is focused on intimacy, the event is designed to support nervous system regulation, relational and attachment transformation.  With a carefully curated structure that balances integration, play, personal growth, and community building, participants are guided through experiences that foster both individual transformation and collective belonging.

It means that we are ensuring – to the best of our capacity for such an event – the following:

  • you are ready and resourced to attend this event.
  • you are supported to tune into your level of capacity and engagement before going to a workshop rather than pushing through
  • we programme in periods of rest and integration so that you get to digest each experience
  • we have a Code of Engagement for all participants to support group cohesion and safety
  • we have a Code of Conduct for Facilitation and Care Team to ensure commitment to serving the event
  • we have awareness of and actively address the inherent power dynamics between Team and participants
  • we have awareness of and actively address group dynamics and how this impacts participants choice and agency

We deeply appreciate your feedback from each year’s Embodied Love and have evolved the experience to better support you. This year, we’ve extended the event and introduced later mornings, allowing for more slowness and spaciousness in your days. We’ve also upgraded our facilities—including a beautifully crafted, wood-fired yurt for the Love Lounge—to enhance your comfort and connection throughout the journey.

This will take place in our newly built, wood-fired yurt—a warmly held space for sensual connection and exploration each night. The boundary of this space is “No penetrative sex”, an intentional invitation to expand your experience of pleasure beyond familiar patterns. By disrupting habitual neural pathways, the Love Lounge encourages deeper presence, connection, and the discovery of new and enriching ways to connect. You are welcome to explore beyond these boundaries in your own private space.

We want to ensure readiness and resource for all participants BEFORE folks join. This is part of our Culture of Care.
Monthly payment plans are available for all ticket types. All payments must be complete before the event starts. The earlier you book, the more accessible the monthly payment.
You can view the refund/cancellation policy here.

Through the intake process, which may also include an interview, we are putting time and energy into the event way well in advance of the start. Therefore, we set the refund/cancellation periods to honour this time and energy. Thus creating an event that is energetically and financially sustainable.

The refund/cancellation policy is different from Osho Leela’s own cancellation policy.

We welcome people of all gender identification and sexual orientation. The Facilitation and Care Teams are a mix of cisgender, heterosexual, gender-fluid, and queer folks.

Embodied Love is an ally for non-binary and trans folk, and we recognise and honour how you choose to identify within the space. 

If you would like to have a conversation about whether this space feels like the right space for you, please let us know on your intake form and we would be happy to arrange a chat.

We welcome people of all race and colour.

The Facilitation and Care Teams are predominantly White and we are actively committed to bringing more diversity to the teams through long-term actions. 

If you would like to have a conversation about whether this space feels like the right space for you to step in, please let us know on your intake form and we would be happy to arrange a chat.

Embodied Love is rooted in  trauma-informed practice and a Culture of Care.

All facilitators are committed to offering safer, inclusive, and trauma-aware spaces. 

Our intake process is supporting self awareness, regulation and resource before entering the space for all participants.

If you are experiencing active trauma then this event would potentially be too stimulating, too overwhelming and with too large a group for your specific needs. We recommend seeking individual support that can be paced to your unique journey. 

If you would like to have a conversation about whether this space feels like the right space for you to step in, please let us know on your intake form and we would be happy to arrange a chat.

To help you fully immerse in the experience and maintain confidentiality, we have a no-phone policy in group spaces. Therefore, we will have photographers present to capture the magic of the event for both your memories and future promotional use.

We understand that for some people attending a sexuality-related event requires confidentiality. We have a system in place where you can opt-out of being in any promotional photographs. Your privacy and comfort are primary to us.

We envisage around 100 participants and a team of 30 at this event.;

Pricing, Reciprocity & Sustainability

There is a new paradigm emerging for transformational spaces. I, – Madalaine Munro, in collaboration with Catherine Hale and (of Emergent Eros) – intend to establish a new standard for space-holding through a “Culture of Care”. One that acknowledges the attention given before the festival starts, holding during the festival, and integration required after the festival ends. One that creates sustainability for the space-holders. One that better serves you the participant.

We are offering the following pricing structure:

Earlybird – SOLD OUT
Second Release – ÂŁ440
Third Release – ÂŁ490

There is a set number of tickets in each release. When they are gone, they are gone.

Belonging Ticket – ÂŁ350
This ticket is to acknowledge and address systemic imbalances of power—including those related to race, neurodiversity, gender, health, and other factors—that may impact members of our community. This ticket is for those who would otherwise be unable to afford the event. If this applies to you, please complete the form here. Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and once they’re gone, they’re gone.

How to Join

One of the key components of “Culture of Care” is to provide a high level of integrity and care, whilst acknowledging the messy and complex business of being human. In order to support you most fully in this experience, we have created an intake process for all participants.

The intention of this intake process is two-fold. Firstly, it gives you the opportunity to reflect on your own journey with intimacy, sexuality and love so that you can decide if this is the right event for you. Secondly, it supports us in best supporting you before, during and after the event, which is our commitment as part of the culture of care.

Please complete the questions as fully and honestly as you can. The information you provide is held in confidence by Madalaine. We may reach out if we have any questions to talk through with you. We want to ensure that you are resourced and ready for this journey.
