PLAY! The Bonobo Network Retreat

For one weekend, your life can be filled with deep connection and unadulterated play…

PLAY! The Bonobo Network Retreat is, without a doubt, the best way to experience our community. The experience is designed to promote connection and learning through the magic of play.

What can you expect?

Daytimes are filled with numerous opportunities for building context and developing meaningful connection. Drop into the retreat with educational content meant to help you confidently navigate sexually charged social spaces with skill and grace. Get to know your fellow attendees at a Speed Friending event, or at one of numerous other afternoon workshops and activities. Break bread with your new friends over beautiful meals catered by Culinary Magic. 

Wanna turn up the heat a little? Head to Spicy Truth or Dare, or join sensual workshops designed to improve your attunement and consent skills while getting you out of your head and into your body. Spend the evening exploring the vast property, dancing to soul-shaking bass from our esteemed crew of DJs and musicians, or meeting your lovers in our vast 2000 sq foot playspace. Or if you want something a little lower key, loosen up in the sauna, sip tea in our teahouse, or spend time at the fire pit with new and old friends alike.

We know that experiences like this can feel like a bit of a roller coaster – high highs can come crashing down pretty quickly. That’s why amid the fun and connection, our peer support team, known as Angels, will also be on hand to provide emotional and social support for those who desire it. And spaces like our teahouse, Unicorn Room (cuddle lounge), and Angel Lounge can feel supportive for those who prefer lower-intensity activities.

With energetic festival vibes, a packed program, and a spacious venue, The Bonobo Retreat lets you choose your own adventure. We can’t wait to play alongside you.

    Play & Connect

    When we talk about play, we don’t just mean it euphemistically. Together, we can be our silliest, most free, most expressed, most consensual selves! Ride the zip line, dance all night, or occupy yourself with naughtier activities….

Accessibility

Accessibility info coming soon! The retreat managers are happy to discuss any specific needs. Contact us here and let us know how we can help.

The property is rustic and was built before the ADA went into effect. Here are some things we do know:

  • The main grounds contain gravel, grass, and pavement. 

  • Much of the property is sloping with grades that don’t meet ADA requirement

  • We’re currently exploring solutions for campers to have electricity at their tents - stay tuned for more info on that.

  • There’s a 10-minute walk uphill from base camp to upper camp. We hope to run a shuttle for limited hours during the retreat to assist with mobility during peak program hours. 

More details coming soon! Including direct to attendee details and how to get support.
