This was the Intimate Revolution // Berlin in 2023!
Here is what our participants say about it:
“The Intimate Revolution just feels like home to me… Spending the days in nature, having lots of lovely people around me, loving, growing, experimenting – I never feel more like myself. I find such beautiful connection and presence there and I’ll be forever grateful for this experience!”
” I loved.. The diverse queer community, the food, the concept of not having food times. The atmosphere among the people, the diversity and quality of all the team (organisers & facilitators), the combination of a (in my perception) great political attitude, and light playfulness. ” by Liisa

Wilrieke Sophia (they/them)
Wilrieke is a s*x & intimacy educator, (TEDx) speaker, advisor & coach for creative makers and scientists, author, and founder of Exploring Deeper and Cuddle Workshops International.
The main focus of their work is empowerment through self-knowledge and understanding, radical self-inclusion, the embodied experiencing of boundaries and desires, and an extensive practice of consent – all based on a foundation of trauma awareness and neuroscience, embedded in experiential spaces based on interpersonal connective practices. They collaborate with artists and scientists, and are a supervisor and

Picture by Elwin Rijken
I’m Patricia, 30 yo and living in Dresden, Saxony. My journey started with my own health issues, questions around my s*xuality and these topics in general. I got curious and at some point I realised I am here on earth to help other people, to talk about “difficult” topics and about my own experiences. As a Sexological Bodyworker I am trained to work on a somatic level. For me, it’s all about deep listening, seeing people and holding space for them to express themselves in a honest and self-determined way. I think, in doing this and helping them finding their way home, healing and growing just becomes a beautiful byproduct.

Andy Buru (he/him)
Andy Buru aims to create magical rooms where people can rest, heal and grow in their relationships to surrender, power and desire. He moves between art and therapy. In the arts, Andy ventures for the maximum risk he can afford in the present to challenge the status quo. Therapy is the opposite by being the safest possible road leading to things known to restore balance and goodness. Both require a special kind of bravery. During twenty years of kink, Andy has been a leatherman, a slave, an owner, a hedonist, a purist, a slut, a magician, and a princess.
Lukas Geschwind (he/him/-)
Coming from Theatre, Performance and Dance Art, I have a deep interest in the body as a tool for expression
and transformation. The last years I deepened my interest in somatics, sexuality and intimacy within the
education of sexological bodywork (Institute for somatic education Berlin). In my work I combine elements of
different somatic and artistic practices mixing them together into a vital coctail and presenting them into
various contexts. Apart from my professional career I am a nomad, (inner and outer) traveler, community
builder, lover of nature and I like to lie on trees.

I found love in dancing and movement’s with 15 years old and perfected each style and started an internship at a dance school where I later on teached a twerk class as well.

I am a Certified Trainer in Nonviolent Communication and a Contemporary Interfaith Minister in training. I support people to communicate better through conflict towards resilience, connection and reconciliation. I mediate with and skill up people in various kinds of organisations, relationship structures and social settings.
A lot of my conflict work involves creating safer spaces to allow the free expression of grief and to increase capacity to hear it.I am developing work that brings together Communication skills, Grief work and Conflict transformation as these 3 things are inextricably linked. This project is called Raw Humans

Mx Gili (they/them)
Mx. Gili (they/them) facilitates experiences and education around consent, intimacy and relating. Their work highlights permission and trauma awareness.
As an aspirant of devotional Tantra, Gili aligns with an approach founded in love, presence, nondualism and ritual. These practices are further informed by a Queer understanding of life, sexuality, and gender as abundant spectrums and a commitment to challenging power structures and paradigms which act to indoctrinate and dissociate body from spirit.
Drawing from training in a wide variety of modalities, they offer an integrated practice of expressing, experiencing, and honouring the wholistic body through intimacy, touch, communication, movement, trauma integration, shadow work, pleasure, and play.
