Cultivating Authentic Culture
Born from years of deep work and ecstatic play, hundreds of workshops and trainings given all over the world, and the magical field of our Embodied Intimacy community, Summer Camp is the culmination of a deep journey into authentic relating.
An Invitation to Imagine
What would be possible if you had 2 weeks to fully experience yourself as a loving, relational being — surrounded by a supportive group of fellow intimacy adventurers?
• How many blocks to love could you remove?
• How dramatically could you strengthen your relationship to boundaries?
• How much could you open yourself to the kind of love you truly long for and deserve?
• How drastically could you learn to accept and befriend the discomfort of being fully seen in your vulnerability?
• How many lives could you impact with your gifts of listening, witnessing and honouring another's self-expression?
• How fully could you receive being showered with love and affection?
• How much fun could you have?!?

Paradise Playground. Relational Laboratory.
Co-Creative Community.
We think of Summer Camp as an acceleration chamber for growth and transformation. For two weeks each summer we manifest a holding space for a community of around 70-80 intrepid souls to come together in the beauty and tranquility of Lake Bråviken, Sweden, to immerse in a culture of radical openness, exploration, vulnerability and mutual care.
Born from years of deep work and ecstatic play, hundreds of workshops and trainings given all over the world, and the magical field of our Embodied Intimacy community, Summer Camp is the culmination of a deep journey into authentic relating.
Our collective intention for the whole event is to love and welcome whatever arises in and between us with open arms, cultivating a way of being and developing resources to take with us out into our lives when we leave.
Here we bring our deepest desires and greatest fears of connection out into the open and let these be present in a non-judgemental space. Here we build a culture of trust by speaking the truth. Here we coexisting bravely and honestly in the delightful mix of attraction, aversion, grief, gratitude, and everything that it is to be human.
Here we care for each other's hearts and experience the solidarity of knowing that we're all in the same boat. We experience unity by seeing ourselves mirrored in everything and everyone. We immerse in the wonder of our embodiment, in our shared aliveness, in our fragility, in the deliciousness of our sensual nature and the power of our self expression.
Together, we learn that we are lovable not despite our limitations, but for all that we are – including our limitations.
A Glimpse into the Acceleration Chamber
Check out the video below for a taste of the deliciousness that is Summer Camp.
"I have been dreaming about something like this all my life."
"I have never experienced anything like that with a group of people."
A Brave Space
We will build a culture of trust by speaking the truth. We will care for each other's hearts and experience the solidarity of knowing that we're all in the same boat. You will experience unity by seeing yourself mirrored in everything and everyone.
This is a brave environment in which you are invited to bring your deepest desires and greatest fears of connection. Here we can coexist in a delightful mix of attraction, aversion, grief, gratitude, and more. Our collective intention is to love and welcome whatever arises in and between us with open arms.
Our shared aliveness, zest for life, and powerful self-expression will create an acceleration chamber for growth and transformation that won’t leave a single soul untouched by the wonder of living in this perfect wisdom vessel - your very own human body.

The Venue
Skeppsudden, Sweden
The venue for Summer Camp is Skeppsudden, a Swedish farm dating from the 18th century lovingly converted into a soulful retreat centre, located on Lake Bråviken’s southern beach, 150 km South of Stockholm. It’s the perfect combination of comfort, charm and remoteness. The buildings are full of light and Scandinavian character, while the landscape is tranquil and beautiful, with forests, meadows, cliffs and a long beach, as well as a delicious apple and cherry dale. Through the site runs the “Via Amorosa” — The Love Trail, a magical path that hugs the lake and offers some truly magical vistas. Skeppsudden also has it’s own pier, plus a wood-burning sauna with panoramic windows and a Hot Tub with stunning views over Bråviken.

Further Info
*Registration for this event requires you to place a €500 deposit and fill out an application form. Ideally, you have already attended an Embodied Intimacy Event. We say this is ideal because this 2-week adventure is a BIG step into the movement and culture that is Embodied Intimacy and we want to be sure you are aligned with our mission and values. If you have not already attended an Embodied Intimacy Event you will be required to have a short 20 minute interview before your application is accepted. If in the unlikely event your application is not accepted, your deposit will be returned.
*This is NOT a typical “festival”. It is a deep-dive immersion with a focus on community and ceremony. Therefore, we do not have an application process for a facilitation team. Requirement for being part of the core team is that you have graduated from the Embodied Intimacy Training.
