18-21 June 2026
body & intimacy festival
Welcome to our loving rebellion for movement, touch, consent, sensuality,
for kink, queerness, art and playfulness...
Let’s melt down our conventional ideas of how we should be,
and instead (re?)explore how or who else we want to be
- Reclaim Your Own Truth!
A riot for more LOVE: towards ourselves, our bodies, each other, towards a vast & wild variety of possibilities to love.
We want to cultivate love on many levels. We invite you to 4 summer days of exploring: What arises when you are in connection with yourself and with others? Meeting the unexpected with curiosity, vulnerability and creativity.
Our daily gatherings with the whole group help to bring a beautiful common ground to the experience.
We love deep-diving and lightness & celebration - in workshops, dances, playspaces, community, with concerts, sunshine, free time...
Participating in anything we offer is always optional. 💞
ABOUT LANGUAGE:
This event will be held in English, as well as this website and the program.
Yet, most people are usually German-speaking :)
LOVE RYOT is open for all genders, sexual orientations, all ethnic groups & origins, all abilities.
We explicitly welcome all queers. 🌈
Inviting BIPoC: this year, 30% of the tickets are reserved for BIPoC (up to 6 weeks before the event) as an attempt to create a stronger sense of community for BiPoC and a festival environment where participants are less likely to feel isolated or tokenized.
LOVE RYOT will be with about 110 people, created by MonaLiisa, with the help of our wonderful team.
If you’re interested in (self)exploration and intimacy, we’d love you to join us!
OUR INTENTION
We aim to create a space that expands beyond learned norms of how we meet.
A space for honest connection — with yourself as well as others.
How do we feel in each moment?
We aim to create a safer space for curiousity, experiments and consensual encounters. Where we can feel more free to express ourselves and our bodies.
This space invites you to cultivate listening to yourself and to others.
To explore and reclaim your own truth and to embody it.
You may deepen your understanding of your boundaries, or experience new desires,
you may meet your fear of rejection, or explore handling rejection when it happens.
You may also get in touch with your need to feel held, rather than feeling juicy and connected.
By including sexuality, we do not want to create a new norm of pressure for sexyness, passion or success in flirting.
Instead, we want to widen the (possibly narrow) frame of everyday life and consciously make space for (non-)sexuality as well as all the other facets of humanity, looking at it with openness, questioning concepts that we learned.
We want to make space to unlearn our conditioning, feel sexual or not, to discover fantasies or needs that were previously unknown, and to hopefully live and love how the f*ck we want to.
We see LOVE RYOT as a place to improve relationship and communication skills, a container for a new culture of connection, created and evolved by all of us.
With Love,
MonaLiisa
