INTIMIA is an experience of transformation and collective connection.
Its very name, an acronym for Alchemy and Intimacy, embodies our essence.
Alchemy is CHANGE, EVOLUTION, INNER GROWTH.
It is the process through which what we think we are transforms into who we truly are, bringing forth our highest potential.
It is a living, ever-evolving community, a cultural project, a place of care, a human laboratory, a hub for growth and transformation.
But all of this can exist only together.
INTIMIA is an open, inclusive, and ever-evolving community.
Everyone can find their own way to participate and contribute.
To experience personal and collective TRANSFORMATION, CONNECTION, and GROWTH.
By offering your TIME, COMMITMENT, ENERGY, skills, and ideas.
By CONTRIBUTING practices, workshops, projects, and visions that HELP the community GROW and EVOLVE.
I’m Isa, I’m 25 years old, and my experience at Intimia Gathering was one of connection and co-creation within a Human Network that I now call Family.
The feeling is not that of attending the festival as a participant, but of co-creating together with others the synergy that is lived and shared. Music, workshops, and the various practices offered are channels through which one can dive within and discover fragments of themselves to share with others.
A wonderful encounter.
I had no expectations, only the intention to open myself and show who I truly am, with both my strength and my fragility. I sensed in many of the other participants, if not all, a similar intention: people deeply open and willing to set aside, for a moment, their defenses and masks.
Finding an environment where you feel “safe” enough to step outside your comfort zone is not something that happens every day.
INTIMIA 2024 was, for me, the ideal environment in which I could practice expressing my truth.
Intimia, an inner and outer journey,
that allowed me to recognize a space where intimacy, play, and exchange gave trust to my moment.
A place beyond the physical, a place where one recognizes oneself, forgives oneself, loves, and encounters a part of oneself reflected in others.
Intimia opened the doors to a sacred and shared dance between masculine and feminine that planted seeds in the months that followed, helping me recognize myself within this duality and polarity.
For minors, only membership registration is required. With a contribution of €15 (available on the website), participation in the event is free.
Kids Area: Our educators offer experiential, interactive, creative, and educational activities for children and teenagers from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
Intimia’s food offerings will be entirely vegan, with vegetarian alternatives available.
We will serve food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner at scheduled times.
The BLOOM JUICE BAR will be open all day and late into the night, offering savory snacks, cakes, cookies, fresh juices, smoothies, coffee, chai and good vibes.
Our products are homemade and freshly prepared.
The WOOD-FIRED PIZZERIA will be open every evening.
Animals are not allowed.
We at Intimia deeply love animals, and for this very reason we care about their safety, as well as the safety of the wildlife in the forest. Dogs themselves could also become involved in unpleasant pack dynamics.
We kindly ask you to find a safer place for them during those days.
Tickets are personal and named. It is possible to purchase multiple tickets, provided the specific details of each attendee are entered.
Participation fees are non-refundable.
This year, Intimia will offer a rich program of workshops for adults, children, and teens, plus many new additions!
The workshops areas are:
A diverse blend of artistic and musical expressions from different cultures and distant traditions, meeting and dialoguing within the space of Intimia.
From folk, gypsy, and Balkan songs to medicine songs, from ecstatic dance to reggae, all the way to psytrance, tribal trance, and Global Bass: a sonic journey through ancient roots and contemporary visions.
Alongside music, the space also opens to fire arts, acro yoga and theatre performances, open mic moments, as well as talks, conferences, and photography exhibitions, giving voice to stories, visions, and perspectives that nourish body, mind, and soul.

It is possible to stay in a partner hotel with INTIMIA, located just 2 minutes by car from the festival or a scenic 15-minute riverside walk away.

To allow everyone to live this experience in the safest possible way, we have chosen not to sell any alcoholic beverages.
This is not discrimination against those who enjoy a glass of wine, but rather a choice made in consideration of those around us.
Behaviors associated with alcohol or drug abuse will not be tolerated, and anyone engaging in them will be asked to leave the festival immediately.
TO BE VERY CLEAR: IF YOU WANT TO GET DRUNK, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU.
Any other violent behavior, whether physical, verbal, or psychological, may also result in removal from the festival grounds if deemed necessary by the organizers.
Our invitation is to live this experience authentically, in clarity and presence, getting “high” on love instead.
