    "I can’t recommend this festival enough. It was one of the highlights of my year last summer. Workshops and the beauty of nature by day, DJs, ecstatic dance, and play by night. Community with a lot of heart. ❤️" ~ Nicole, FireLight 🔥 Participant

    "FireLight 🔥 stood out as the highlight of 2025 in Carsten's and my year-end review. It trumped Burning Man. For me, it was the first festival ever where I went to workshop after workshop - because they were sexy as fuck and well held! (and of course there are less sexy, still embodied workshops available too). Biggest community building event of the year for me." ~ Pleasure

  • Lovers in the Wild!

    Ritual ✨ Revelry ✨ Dance ✨ Music ✨ Play ✨ Eros ✨ Fire ✨ Water

    A New Sanctuary • A Deeper Flame • A Playful, Erotic Gathering of Lovers!

    After two powerful, magical years, FireLight🔥 enters its third year—rooted in trust, shaped by experience, and ready for a new chapter.

    The theme for this year is "Lovers in the Wild" , an invitation to return to our primal aliveness—where connection, attunement, and community support your nervous system to soften so your wild nature feels safe to emerge. Surrounded by sacred land, water, and sky we circle around the fire to explore what it means to be fully alive—curious, present, open, and connected to the earth, our erotic innocence, and one another.

    Through ceremony, workshops, dance, play, music, erotic embodiment, and connection to a tribe of loving humans, we create a culture where wildness and care belong together. Here, you may embrace your authentic desires, deepen trust in your body’s wisdom, or revel in the spark that ignites when two people meet beyond masks and roles.

    We gather to play big, feel deeply, and remember that our wild nature is not something to tame—but something to celebrate, together.🔥

    This summer we gather at Cedar Springs Retreat Center, a stunning 92-acre sanctuary in the Sierra Foothills outside Yosemite National Park. Rolling hills, open meadows, forested paths, decks bathed in sunlight, dancing under the stars, and water to float, swim, and play—all held by a venue designed for movement, music, and deep human connection.

    FireLight 🔥 is a sensual, ceremonial, and whimsical micro-festival for adults, where eros is honored and every expression of aliveness is welcomed with care. Throughout four days and three nights, we’ll gather for dance, music, embodied rituals, workshops, ceremony, conscious play, and fireside communion—inviting both devotion and delight.

    FireLight 🔥 is capped at 300 participants and attendance is by RSVP application, allowing us to co-create a field that feels safe, alive, playful, and deeply connected.

    Come as you are.

    Leave more in love—with yourself, each other, and life.
