Mindful Kink Retreat – FAQ
Our gatherings are rooted in intentional connection, healing, and community. While we are not a strictly sober or dry space, we do hold ceremonies that incorporate plant medicines and alcohol alternatives such as cacao, kava, and tea. These offerings are shared with reverence and care. We welcome participants to bring what feels personally aligned. However, we ask that all forms of consumption—whether ceremonial or recreational—remain mindful, respectful, and safe. If use becomes disruptive or compromises the wellbeing of others, we may step in to preserve the integrity of the space. This is a place for grounded presence, mutual respect, and shared transformation. Please honor the energy of the group, the spirit of the ceremony, and the safety of all who attend.

A Note on Our Space
The Mindful Kink Retreat is a sex- and body-positive environment where your authentic self is welcome. Some spaces are designed for full nudity and erotic play, and others for rest, reflection, and mindful connection. All participation is optional and guided by consent — YOU choose how you engage.
We honor a sober container, because love, touch, breath, and presence are already powerful medicines. Our commitment is to create a safe, inclusive, and respectful space where you can explore with freedom, curiosity, and care.
