~ A Conscious Intimacy Festival for the Under 40s ~
Wednesday 11th to Sunday 15th September
How would it feel to be confident and empowered in intimacy, sexuality and love?
How would it feel to be fully-expressed and free in yourself, including your sexuality and how you relate to others?
How would it feel to lean into your growth edges at the right pace for you, supported and held throughout the process?
How would it feel to lovingly alchemise any shame or fear you may have into curiosity, courage and space for more desire?
How would it feel to be fully seen and celebrated for who you truly are?
How would it feel to discover all of this in a loving, reflexive and evolving community?
All of this is possible for you.
You are excitedly invited to this pioneering conscious intimacy festival for the under 40s in September!
The event is curated and organised by Madalaine Munro, supported by Ed Rooke and inspired by its sister event Emergent Eros in creating a “culture of care”.
The Foundations of Embodied Love
Community Care – Weaving in curiosity, nuance & kindness with ourselves and others; exploring and guiding how we can cultivate more compassion, humility & embracing difference and challenge with grace. Building a foundation of embodied listening, presence, empathy, generosity, courageous conversations and shared humanity. Being held by the festival’s net of care as a representative of the collective’s responsibility.
Self Care – Tending to our needs and boundaries, through prioritising inner-listening, body-awareness and playfully exploring edges without pushing beyond our limits. A loving focus on pace, presence and self-holding, weaving in the individual’s responsibility to the health of the whole.
Permission – Permission to be you and to bring all of you into the space, to be right where you are at. Creating a culture that promotes authentic expression, integrity and connection, with a focus on realness and honesty over perfection and performance. Inviting in our messiness, our full-spectrum human and being in full approval of what emerges whilst also holding an awareness and sensitivity to others.
Play – A playground to explore. Holding play as a bridge to transformation, a returning to innocence, in the essence of experimentation, fun and discovery.
Integration – Breathing in and out, digesting what is for us and leaving what is not. A journey of wholeness, where we lovingly walk parts of us back home into the fullness of our being.
Meet your Facilitators
Neil has been kinky since he was 12 years old, watching Catwoman capture Batman and asking his girlfriend to do the same for him! He runs workshops in what he calls ‘Caring Kink’ – inspired from his training in the art of consent and his own explorations into the kink world. He wants to bring more care and safety so that more playfulness and pleasure can be experienced.
A Culture of Care seeks to repair endemic systems of harm by inviting momentum towards post traumatic growth as a possibility for all of humanity.
“The most beautiful expansion of me I have ever experienced. I feel i integrated the entire festival during it, allowing me to stay safe and self-connected the whole time”
“Such a beautiful journey to deepen into my inner knowing and become the truest expression of myself”
“The best held container I have ever experienced – & I have experienced a lot”
“The world would be a better place if more people took part in this…it should be mandatory”
Pricing, Reciprocity & Sustainability
There is a new paradigm emerging for transformational spaces. I, – Madalaine Munro, in collaboration with Catherine Hale and Gayatri Beegan (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.

BIPOC Price – SOLD OUT
This ticket is to recognise the under-representation of Black and minority ethnic communities within sexuality spaces and to show our solidarity and willingness to create steps to address this. This is not a concession ticket, or dependent on affordability, instead as a recognition of systemic accessibility within the UK.

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.
Invitation: Before you begin completing the form, take a moment to be as comfortable as possible in your body. Close your eyes and focus your attention on your breath. Allow each breath to be intentional, slow, and deep. With each inhale and exhale come more fully to the present moment, and notice how you feel in your heart and in your belly. Take a few breaths like this, and when you are complete, open your eyes and begin.
