Question 1

Who is this Festival for?

Accepted Answer

We know stepping into a new space—especially one that dances with intimacy, playfulness, and deep transformation—can stir a lot inside. So we’d love to gently offer: Who is Milk’n’Honey really for?
We warmly welcome humans of all gender identities, expressions, and orientations. Whether you arrive solo, with a partner, or as part of a unique relationship constellation—you are invited. Couples can join together or independently (please see more on couples in  our FAQ).
 
🌀 In terms of experience—don’t worry, there is no "perfect background." We welcome you if:
— you’ve already journeyed through sex-positive spaces, tantra, sacred sexuality, or embodied consent-based work
 — OR you’ve done inner work, feel grounded in yourself, and are open to nudity, connection, and embodied exploration
 
💌 If you’re completely new to these kinds of spaces, we kindly ask you to reach out before booking. Let’s have a short chat to make sure you feel safe, informed, and truly ready.
 
💛 Who Milk’n’Honey is for:
🥥 Adults aged 21+
 🍯 Curious beginners AND advanced practitioners of tantra, neotantra, and sensuality
 🍯 People open to body-positivity, mindful touch, and conscious connection
 🍯 Individuals interested in personal growth, embodiment, and emotional awareness
 🍯 Those open to new friendships, intimacy, and group explorations
 🍯 People ready to be fully present—without substances (no alcohol, no psychedelics, no “plant medicine”)
 🍯 Those in any relationship form—whether solo, coupled, or beyond—who want to nourish and deepen intimacy
 🍯 Those who desire genuine connection, safe touch, and a community of like-hearted souls
 🍯 Humans okay with nudity in communal spaces like the sauna and lakeside
 🍯 English speakers or those who are comfortable navigating a mostly English-speaking environment
 
🌍 Milk’n’Honey is an international gathering, with a beautifully diverse community and most workshops held in English. 
There will be a few Polish-only sessions, but these are the exception.

🚫 Who this space is not for:
✖️ Those seeking a “sex party” or looking to bypass emotional connection
 ✖️ Anyone unable to be sober or who plans to use substances
 ✖️ People uncomfortable with nudity or emotional intimacy

 We want our hive to stay healthy while playing! Protect yourself and your connections from the transmission of STDs and other infections like e.g. common colds / scabies / head lice. Treat anything treatable before arriving at the Festival - don't neglect any funny symptoms. We recommend that you test yourself for STDs/STIs before coming to the Festival if you would like to play with others (not a requirement of course). Talk about sexual health with your current lovers to be as safe as possible. And most of all be transparent about your health situation before engaging with others.

Question 4

What if I am in a relationship?

Accepted Answer

You are very welcome to join as a couple and have all the interactions only with each other or with other people. You can also at any point decide which interactions to have together and which to have with other people. Our invitation is for you to mingle with other people, especially for the softer interactions and workshops. We strongly recommend that you discuss with your partner, before the event, what your RELATIONSHIP BOUNDARIES are for this event. That is, what are you willing or not willing to witness your partner do with other people (e.g. cuddling clothes-on, kissing, cuddling clothes-off, energetic sex, sexual interactions without penetrative sex, use of barriers and condoms etc).
 
> If you are in (a) relationship(s) and you are coming SOLO: we do recommend for you to be in open communication with your partner(s) about this event and when appropriate discuss interaction boundaries. We promote transparency in relationships.

Question 5

How is this space safe?

Accepted Answer

"Safety is an inner work". We highly agree with this statement and at the same time we acknowledge that this Festival touches on some edgy and often under-expressed areas of human experience.
Therefore, we do our best to provide the structure, culture and container which promotes feeling respected and safe. It is up to every bee in the hive to do their best to support this collective container and follow the guidelines and boundaries of the spaces. Often the best way to support safety in the space is to take care of yourself and your own nervous system as well as you can so that you may be in your own ease and joy.

The Festival is a space where people can dive into their process, transcend wounds and go into blissful collective realities where we get to experience new ways of being and relating.  Healing of our broken selves might take forever and we take a  loving-presence approach towards that. We would like to invite you to a  space where we tap into the sacredness of human existence.

Here are a few things which we do to support safety in the collective field:
Together we create a safe container aligned with group agreements such as: confidentiality, self-responsibility, permission to express, sacredness, compassion and diversity of love. Please read Temple Pillars page well to understand these better and support the collective field with your own understanding of those.

The space is officially held by over 20 experienced facilitators and  supported by over 50 assistants and team bees with previous experiences in this kind of events.

Additionally, we offer Emotional Support space and there are beings dedicated to Emotional support called Empathy bees. Please reach out to them or go to the Emo Support space any time you feel in distress or overstimulated.

We have numerous workshops and exercises which support regulation, belonging and learning new skills around your own sovereignty and how you can support yourself.

Nudity,  touch and sexual engagements are optional and always at your own discernment. Being in your truth and owning your accurate needs and desires is always encouraged. Needs for relaxation, self-centredness  and emotional ease are addressed first before going into intimate contact with others.

We have zero-tolerance for hate and any forms of aggression or transgressions of people's boundaries. Anyone exposing such behaviour will be immediately expelled from the Festival ground.

If you ever have an issue please seek a team bee with pink bracelet who will be able to support you immediately or point you in the right direction.

Most of all, if you need support of any sort please ask directly. Asking for support is on of the best ways to make new friends and let the magic unfold for you. In your vulnerability lies your power.

Question 6

What does it mean that this is a sacred sex-positive Festival?

Accepted Answer

We celebrate sexuality as a natural and healthy part of the human experience, and pleasure as an embodied energy of bliss. This festival welcomes your shameless sexual expression and your erotic playful self. There are few spaces designated for sexual interactions. Royal Jelly (Sex Positive Space) will be open 24/7. Open Space in Nectarium will be open at night times for you to play. Don’t miss checking out the Fuck for BEES space, which emanates sex magic and real donations for the support of the bees of the world. Please respect our community, and do NOT engage in explicit sexual connections in other non-designated areas or accommodation spaces (especially shared accommodation).
Sacredness is being present with the entirety of your being to the  moment. Healing can happen by experiencing extraordinary reality and  sourcing love back into your life.

Question 7

What is R.B.D.S.M. conversation?

Accepted Answer

RBDSM is an acronym that represents key elements of a conversation to have with a (potential) intimate or new connection before engaging more fully. This kind of check-in is a part of Temple culture and helps create a safer, more informed, more relaxed - and actually juicier - experience.

The RBDSM conversation includes:

R – Relationship Status
 Before entering an intimate interaction, it’s important to clarify both partners’ relationship status. Are you single? Do you have multiple lovers? Are you in a relationship? Is it open - and if so, is it open tonight?
 Understanding each other’s relationship context helps you make a more informed and aligned choice about whether and how to engage.

D – Desires
 We often hide our deepest desires, but voicing them can actually make them more likely to be met. What is it that you’re wanting from this interaction? Cuddling? Kissing? Penetration? Sensual play?
 Clearly expressing your desires allows your partner to understand your intentions. While it doesn’t guarantee alignment - your desires might not be within their boundaries - it opens the space for honest exploration and authentic connection.

B – Boundaries
 We all have boundaries, and when they’re clearly spoken and respected, they create the freedom to fully relax and play within them.
 You might have firm boundaries, such as “no penetration without a condom,” or “please don’t touch my belly, I’m ticklish.” Or softer ones, like “I’m open to this, but I’d like to check in again later.”
 Whatever your boundaries are, sharing them helps co-create a safe and honoring space.

S – STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)
 This is one of the most commonly skipped - and most important - topics.
 Checking yourself for STDs, using appropriate protection, and talking about it with your partner is part of practicing loving, respectful, and safe sex.
 This includes sharing when your last test was, and whether you’ve had any unprotected sex since then. It helps you both make an informed, conscious decision around protection and safer sex.

M – Meaning & Morning After
 What does this connection mean to you? Is it a one-time experience? Something romantic? Are you open to more?
 If your intentions differ, it’s better to discover that before the intimate engagement, so you can both choose with awareness and honesty. You may not always know the full answer in advance, but expressing what’s alive in you can create clarity and care.
 Also, what would you like or need the morning after? Would you appreciate a message? Do you need space? This is your chance to express those needs in advance.

Additional topics to consider (PCF):
 • Privacy - Is it okay to tell others about our meeting? Who is it safe to share with?
 • Conscious State - Are you sober? Under the influence of substances or alcohol? How are you feeling right now?
 • Fears - Are there any fears or concerns you want to name before we begin?

Question 8

Will I have to be sexual or naked?

Accepted Answer

Most of all, this is a space of permission. 
Everything is welcomed, Nothing needs to happen. 
 
Nudity and/ or any sexual (sensual / intimate) interactions are always OPTIONAL and totally at your own discernment. Meaning, every moment you have an opportunity to decide which level of engagement is accurate for you. 
 
It is entirely possible and very welcomed to stay dressed throughout the whole event and still have an epic transformational time. Intimacy is a space of authentic encounter with the other (or oneself), so please follow your truth at all times.

Question 9

Will I ever be exposed to witnessing sexuality or nudity?

Accepted Answer

If you so choose to, you don't need to be exposed to witnessing explicit sexuality - just skip the sex-positive spaces and pay attention to the symbols on the program to make sure which workshops invite which levels of intimacy.

There is, however, no way for you NOT to be exposed to nudity. People will choose to be naked in many spaces. So if seeing nudity is not within your comfort zone we do not recommend this Festival for you.

Question 10

Where to be (and not to be) naked and intimate?

Accepted Answer

Nudity is only allowed in the designated areas within the venue premises - that is:
workshop rooms, the beach, sauna and around the sauna, and in your own room.
Please respect the local culture and do NOT be naked around other parts of the
property or do NOT wander off the property boundaries naked. There is no obligation
to be naked at any point.
 
There are only a few spaces designated for sexual interactions. 
1. Royal Jelly (sex-positive room inside the hotel building) will be open 24/7 from Thursday afternoon onwards for you to enjoy. Please ready the guidelines of how to use this space before entering.
 
2. Open Spaces in Melissae and Queenspace will be open at night times after 23h for you to play and explore.
 
3. Specific workshops and Temples with the symbols specifying possibility of genital contact (never a requirement). Please refer to the program for details.
 
Please respect our community, and do NOT engage in explicit sexual connections (that means, where  genitals are involved) in other non-designated areas or accommodation spaces (especially, shared accommodation as this is space to sleep and rest). 
 
Please note that Wednesday is a landing day for you to feel fully welcome in the space and build your belonging. This year we have decided that Wednesday is a day without going into genital exchanges. Please respect this boundary to support building the collective field (even if you have arrived with your partner). And enjoy the foreplay and connecting in so many other possible ways with other humans.

Closing thoughts...
 
This festival welcomes your shameless sexual expression and your erotic playful self. 
 Let's enjoy with full consciousness of our actions! 
Let's celebrate freely by respecting the boundaries of our playground.
Let's create safety together so that the soft and vulnerable parts of us can join the play.

Question 11

What is boundaries and desires work?

Accepted Answer

We  lose a lot of life-force energy fighting with ourselves by hiding what  we truly want and at the same time feeling not comfortable to say ‘no’  out of fear of hurting others or fear of rejection. We work with the  polarities of boundaries and desires, that is, the ability to state our  ‘no’ and ability to go for what we want (ability to say a full ‘yes’),  in order to find balance and integrity.
