Why isn't TIR more affordable?
We keep ticket prices as low as we sustainably can, while covering the costs of the venue, full catering, and our facilitators.
We’re a non-profit association and the organizing team doesn’t make any profit from the festival, and always strive to make TIR as accessible as possible.
(Ideas and support are always welcome – we’re continuously happy to improve TIR.)

Can I arrive earlier or stay longer?
Yes! You are welcome to arrive from Monday afternoon onwards or stay until Sunday afternoon.
If you choose to arrive early or leave later, we kindly ask you to support us with festival setup or takedown.
What should I bring?
If you are camping, please bring your own camping equipment (tent, sleeping bag, sleeping mat, etc.). There are some group tents at Spitzmühle. Some mattresses may be available on site, but availability is limited.
We will share a more detailed list of nice to have items closer to the festival starts.
How do I get to the venue?
You can easily arrive by car.
If you’re travelling by public transport, you can take the S5 to the nearest station in Strausberg and then either:
- take a taxi (approximately €20–25), or
- hare a ride with other participants.
About two weeks before the festival, we’ll publish a ride-sharing list in our Telegram group so participants can organize carpools or share taxi rides.
Unfortunately, there will be no shuttle service.
When does the festival start and end?
Check-in takes place on Wednesday morning. Please arrive no later than 11:00, as our Opening Circle begins at 12:00 noon.
The festival officially ends on Saturday at 18:00.
What kinds of workshops can I expect?
The Intimate Revolution offers a wide variety of workshops exploring intimacy, relationships, sexuality, embodiment, communication, and personal growth.
Some workshops are highly experiential, some are discussion-based, some focus more directly on sexuality, while others don’t.
Several workshops take place simultaneously, allowing you to choose the ones that interest you most.
The full schedule and workshop descriptions will be available on our website.
Who are the facilitators?
All facilitators are listed on the festival site, where you can also learn more about their backgrounds and areas of expertise.
What language is spoken at the festival?
English is the main language of the festival. All workshops, circles, and official group gatherings are held in English.
Of course, participants often speak German informally with one another whenever everyone involved speaks German.
Can I come on my own?
Absolutely!
Many participants come by themselves. We put a lot of care into creating a welcoming community and offer daily circles, sharing spaces, and many opportunities to connect with others throughout the festival.
Is the festival suitable for first-time participants?
Yes! Many people join TIR for the first time, and previous experience with sex-positive festivals is not strictly required.
That said, The Intimate Revolution is a relatively advanced sex-positive event. We therefore recommend that participants already have some experience with consent-based or sex-positive spaces and feel comfortable navigating these environments with awareness, respecting others’ boundaries, and clearly communicating their own.
Every participant goes through our application process. We ask a few questions about your background, your understanding of topics such as consent, and what you hope to experience at the festival. This helps us ensure that TIR is a good fit for both you and the community.
In some cases, we may recommend attending a smaller event first if we feel that it would provide a gentler introduction. At the same time, many first-time participants have wonderful experiences at TIR, and we do our best to create a welcoming, supportive environment where everyone can feel safe and connected.
How do I prepare for the festival?
We invite you to honor yourself and the space by doing STI tests before arriving. It’s not about obligation, it’s about taking responsibility for yourself and for the people you might connect with. Being informed helps everyone make conscious, consensual choices.
As for your inner preparation:
- You don’t need to arrive as the happiest, most confident or most social version of yourself.
- Nothing is expected of you except being yourself. You don’t have to perform.
Come as you are. We’ll take it from there.
Is the venue accessible for people with disabilities
The venue is partially accessible.
There is an accessible toilet and shower, and one accessible bed is available. Because accessibility needs vary, we encourage anyone requiring accommodations to contact us at contact@theintimaterevolution.com before booking so we can discuss your individual needs and see how we can best support you.
Can I still apply as a facilitator?
Our facilitator team for this year’s festival is complete.
However, we are always happy to hear from people interested in facilitating at future festivals. Please send your application to facilitator@theintimaterevolution.com.
