Intimacy Spring Camp
May 17-23 2026 Glastonbury, UK
A *special edition* relational playground dedicated to the exploration of Intimacy, Embodiment, and the lure of Spring.
Revival. Renewal. New Beginnings.
Intimacy Spring Camp is a special edition within the Intimacy Camp ecosystem. A 7-day immersive gathering devoted to revival, renewal, and the courage it takes to begin again.
Founded in 2017, Intimacy Camp has become a yearly summer pilgrimage and living laboratory for love, attunement, and relational integrity. For nearly a decade, we have been gathering to practice intimacy not as an idea or an identity, but as a lived, embodied experience… something we learn through presence, choice, and care, in relationship with real human beings.
Spring Camp arises from a simple question: What becomes possible when intimacy is met at the moment it begins to awaken again?
After contraction, loss or disorientation. After periods of deep inner work, wintering, or repair.
This gathering is an invitation into that threshold- where aliveness returns slowly, desire reawakens in its own timing, and curiosity begins to move us forward once more.
The Heart and Soul of Intimacy Camp
Why a Spring Edition?
Spring carries a particular relational intelligence. It is the season of emergence (one of our favorite words!) not yet the fullness of summer, but no longer dormant. It asks for patience, honesty, and a willingness to listen for what wants to grow, rather than forcing ourselves into who we think we should be.
Intimacy Spring Camp is inspired by this energy. The week is designed to support:
the sweet return of eros and creative life force
renewed trust in your body’s timing
openness to new connections without abandoning self-responsibility
the courage to choose differently than before
Hear from the Campers of 2024!
Rather than intensity for its own sake, we are orienting toward depth.
Rather than urgency, we are cultivating stamina and resilience.
Rather than performance, we practice intimacy as a relational art that unfolds when conditions are right.
This is a space to re-enter intimacy with more choice, more presence, and more truth.
Full-Spectrum Intimacy
As with all Intimacy Camp gatherings, Spring Camp is rooted in a full-spectrum understanding of intimacy.
We explore intimacy as something that includes (but is not limited to) sexuality. It spans emotional, somatic, relational, creative, intellectual, spiritual, aesthetic, playful, vulnerable, and erotic dimensions.
This is a space where intimacy is not reduced to chemistry or performance, but expanded into a way of being with one another that is attentive, alive, and deeply human.
Eros is present here… as life force, curiosity, attraction, creativity, and desire- and it is held alongside tenderness, boundaries, emotional truth, and care.
Join us on an unforgettable journey in togetherness…
Who This Is For
Intimacy Spring Camp is for those who feel the call to meet relationship as a practice and intimacy as something that is learned through experience rather than theory.
You do not need to be partnered.
You do not need to be sexually experienced in group spaces.
You do not need to know what you are seeking.
You do need a willingness to:
take responsibility for your experience
respect boundaries, both your own and others’
stay present with discomfort as well as pleasure
meet others as full humans, not projections

Erotic & Temple Spaces
This is an adults-only gathering, and yes… the camp includes Eros, Temple spaces, and erotic exploration.
These spaces are held with:
clear agreements
explicit consent culture
sensitive and soulful facilitation
deep respect for choice and pacing
Nothing is required. Everything is invitational.
Erotic exploration at Intimacy Camp is not about escalation or expectation. It is about learning how to stay present with desire, how to feel excitement without abandoning discernment, and how to remain in relationship (with yourself and others) as sensation, attraction, and vulnerability arise.
What We Practice Together
Intimacy Spring Camp is both a relational laboratory and a lived community experiment. Over seven days, we weave together deep work and spacious play, inquiry and embodiment, devotion and delight.
You can expect to encounter:
Embodied intimacy practices and somatic resources
Relational exploration with self, other, and group
Opportunities for honest communication, repair, and boundary work
Eros temples and intimate play spaces
Ritual, ceremony, and devotional containers
Time in nature, rest, and integration
Creative expression through movement, voice, art, and play
We move slowly enough to feel, and intentionally enough to build trust.

Co-Creation! What do you want to add to this delightful mix of celebration and transformation?!
What Could Become Possible…
What might shift if you dedicated a week to meeting intimacy differently… surrounded by a field of people who are also practicing care, responsibility, and presence?
How might your relationship to desire change if it were met without urgency?
What new choices could become available in how you connect?
How much more honestly could you listen to your yes, your no, and your maybe?
What might emerge if tenderness and eros were allowed to coexist?
How might your capacity for love (for yourself, others, and life) expand?
This is not a promise of transformation. It is an invitation into practice.
Authentic Culture Cultivation
At Intimacy Camp, we cultivate a culture of trust by telling the truth.
We practice naming what is present, caring for one another’s hearts, and taking responsibility for our impact. This creates a field where attraction, aversion, grief, joy, uncertainty, and desire can coexist without being pathologized or acted out unconsciously.
You are invited to bring your longings, your edges, and your questions into a space that values integrity over image, and presence over perfection.
This isn’t always easy or comfortable, but it’s a path that opens us up to genuine intimacy.

EarthSpirit Centre
Somerset, UKEarthSpirit is a land-based retreat centre nestled in the English countryside, held by forest, open sky, and a deep sense of quiet. Designed as a place to slow down and listen, the centre offers a rare combination of simplicity, warmth, and natural beauty.
The buildings are thoughtfully crafted and comfortable, with a gentle, earthy aesthetic that invites rest and presence. Pathways wind through trees and open land, creating space for wandering, reflection, and connection- both with nature and with one another.
EarthSpirit is known for its intimate scale and soulful atmosphere. Communal spaces support gathering, shared meals, and meaningful conversation, while the surrounding land offers space to be alone, to integrate, and to breathe. Saunas, hot tubs, and quiet outdoor spaces invite the body to soften and unwind.
It is a place that naturally supports depth… not through grandeur, but through care, simplicity, and attunement to the land. A fitting container for relational work, embodied practice, and community held with intention.
