About us
Curious, free &
expressive...
We are a colourful bunch of queer, pleasure-loving creatures. We like to play and we invite everyone to join in, explore and discover. In our garden, we invite people to express themselves, to come hang out and try new things. We host experiences and workshops for curious birdies and seasoned paradise birds alike. The atmosphere is light, playful and fun, with a wide range of flavours offered to try.We set up our garden of pleasure at festivals and organise our own events. Expect a feel good space.
A place to land into the body, move with intention and take a peek into new worlds to discover, each with their own atmosphere and potential for new realizations and self discovery.Since all of our senses like to be spoiled, the musical journey is no less important. No surprises here if you know us a bit by now; we have a broad taste, as long as it invites us to tease, play, have fun. From light, fairy tunes to deep, dark and sexy… bring it on!
We’re also fascinated by art and beauty, so we’ll be sure to decorate our spaces abundantly. The colour palette is rich and warm, with fantasy garden elements.As hedonists, we find pleasure in a lot of things. A perfect day in our world could start with some delicious invigorating yoga moves, then we’d tickle our brain with a creative exploration, have a relaxing (four handed) massage and move into more spicy interactions in the dark hours of the night.Care to join?
Our Values
You’re most welcome in our garden.
Heaven on earth in our eyes. Please take note of our values as you enter our space...
We like our Paradise Birds a little extra (expression)
You’re invited to express yourself. Wear your most risque outfit, show some skin, dance like everyone is admiring you and be as extra as you want. Don’t mind gender norms or other constructs that might limit your expression.
YES to pleasure (consent)
Enthusiastic consent is key! If it’s not a fuck yes, fuck it (not literally in this case). This goes for everyone involved. Yesses can be expressed verbally or non-verbally. Listen with your whole body. Check if you’re unsure. There’s a lot to explore in the garden, so if something is not for you, just move on. Find your “Yes, and more please….”
You are the master of your desire (self-responsibility)
You are the only one responsible for your experience. It’s up to you to create your own adventure, ask for support where needed and to explore and protect your boundaries.
Show, don’t tell; co-create with us! (cocreation)
You’re invited to share your skill, experience or exploration so that others can share the journey and potentially find something they enjoy. We create space for spontaneous workshops or experience, the more flavours, the better.
Stay curious, even if it’s not your thing (curiosity)
If you notice you’re triggered by something, don’t project your judgement on someone else. See if you can take a step back and observe from a place of curiosity.
That being said, you’re responsible for your experience, so if it’s not for you, remove yourself from the situation and follow a new path to bliss ;) If you struggle to shake off the trigger, there’s always someone in our chill out to share your experience with or to ask curious questions about their experiences
The feathers of love quivering in a soft breeze, tantalising my skin on a velvet cloud

A journey into expression on a path towards your most colourful self...
A Day en Vacances.... what's it like?
Imagine what your days en Vacances could be like
"On Friday afternoon, you arrive at our reception area. You receive a goodie bag of essentials and set up your tent. Afterwards, you go check out the courtyard, where the listening bar is playing some welcoming tunes.
You join a guided tour around our holiday heaven and find some cute spots you'll revisit for sure later. A peek into the rave cave gets you excited about the long nights to come... but on this arrival day, you're a bit low on energy.
By then, dinner is served. At the long tables you meet other, colourful peacocks. You spend some time at the campfire, spot some familiar faces before the mandatory consent school starts. Armed with a shared language and lots of excitement for the days to come, you call it a day... in your dreams, you can only imagine what's next."Expect a full program with workshops and fun activities, 4 different areas with music, lounge time by the pool, magical performances in a beautifully decorated environment... but most importantly; the best people and authentic connections.We can't wait to watch the sunset together and dance the night away!
The rest of our program will be revealed slowly, we're a bit of a tease, as always. Check out our socials for regular updates.

Is this for me? Is it not too much ...
Our events are for curious souls passionate about expression and exploration. We love to create places of freedom, a parallel reality in a world that can feel restrictive. This freedom includes sensual and sexual explorations for many of our paradise birds, but this is nor the starting point nor the end game.
Please don't come to 'score' and please don't refrain from joining if 'scoring' isn't your thing.
You can have a very full experience without ending up in some wild gettogether, or you may have a wild experience, who knows.Come with an open mind and heart and you will discover new things about yourself.
Our workshop program covers movement, creative expression, conscious kink, sensuality & tantra and body awareness.
Our musical program is a journey from slower, melodic styles into darker vibes in the night with surprising lives of talented artists for extra spice. Always with a sexy groove, to tie everything together.
What should I bring?
- Camping equipment (unless you bought an additional accomodation ticket, rooms & tipi's come with sheets)
- Playful outfits (inspiration per day follows!) and a warm coat for chilly nights
- Playtoys (whether that's your badminton racket or something spicy, up to you!)
- Enough towels/ sarongs (for showering, lounging & use in playspace)
- Organic soap etc to use in our nature shower
- A water bottle
- If you smoke; enough cigarettes (not sold on site) and a mobile ash tray
- Medications and other essentials that make you feel good
Who are we? Who's involved?
The Peacock Garden started at Kamiwaza festival France in 2022, with a group of friends that wanted to enrich the festival experience. We grew a lot as a collective, but the essence is still the same; we like to create space for play, authentic expression and freedom.
Want to know more about us and who we collaborate with to create the juiciest program for you? Voilà
What about safety?
We care about you, your mental & physical health. At the same time, we're a small gathering of seasoned paradise birds in the countryside (which means less facilities) ran mostly by volunteers (who do have lots of experience), so we require everyone to act responsibly and watch out for each other.
Take care of your rest, express your needs and boundaries... and yes, it's time for another round of sun screen. If anything happens despite these efforts... we are there for you.What we'll do:
- We pre-screen applicants and deny people entrance if we have strong reasons to do so. Most guests have been to our events before.
- We start our journey together with a mandatory workshop about safety, boundaries and consent. Like this, we share a common language and we can each share the responsibility to create a safer space.
- During workshops, temple time and between 21.00h and 03.00h we'll have one or more spaceholders available.
You can approach them for a talk, to discuss something that made you feel uncomfortable, for immediate intervention, or for company while you feel unwell.
They will also have access to trained first aid volunteers on site.
- There's a dedicated space to go to when you feel overwhelmed, need a break or a cup of tea next to the INFO POINT. This is also where the first aid kit is to be found.
- At the INFO POINT you can find a phone number of someone on call for emergencies outside of opening hours.
The tickets are (too) expensive to me. Why? What can I do?
We want to create rich experiences, so indeed, the tickets are not cheap. We're offering a lot of value for your ticketprice. It's a whole journey into self-discovery, connection and community, not just a festival. Which also means we work really hard with a big team that sets the bar high.
Peacock Garden is ran by volunteers and people who get very limited compensation, but are motivated by the love to create an unmatched experience.Ofcourse we understand it's a lot of money and we're pro inclusivity. If you're looking for a different exchange, get in touch with us (early!). We've got discounted tickets in exchange for lending a small hand.
What's the refund policy / Can I resell my ticket?
We are not able to offer any refunds. If the event sells out, a waiting list will be created for those who applied but didn’t get a ticket yet. If you need to sell your ticket please let us know and we’ll help facilitate the transfer with someone on the waiting list. You cannot exhange it with anyone who isn't on the waiting list, as we want our guests to answer some questions and feel as safe and valuable additions to our group.We'll create a telegram channel to facilitate transfers a few weeks before the event.

Who we are
Meet the Peacocks!
What started as a wild idea for an area at Kamiwaza festival, grew into a flourishing community of creatives. For an event with 150-200 guests, there will be around 60 people involved as crew. Quite a group!
Our core team consists of Eli & Dookie plus Tomas, Chris, Sophie, Ocean, Axel & Mandine and we have an extensive network of Peacock family throughout Europe.We are music artists, performers, facilitators of kinky, tantric & creative spaces, creators of light installations, organisational talents, builders and other creatives. On this page you'll find some of the faces we worked with in the past.
We like to slowly reveal our program for the event, watch our socials & newsletter.Apart from the crew, we cherish our co-creators, people who are lightly involved. They are space holders, smiling faces at the entrance and fairies handing out fruits & candy for example.Do you want to get involved? Reach out to us by email or drop us a message on our socials.Lots of love!
Eli * Community Leader
May or may not be the creative mastermind behind our crazy shenanigans ;) Eli likes to dream big and has a special talent to kick things into gear and make these visions reality. Believes community is humanity's way forward. She strives to lead from the back, making space for everyone to add their magic.
Has a surprisingly big social network for a total introvert. Always building bridges. Started her first business two decades ago (yikes).Armed with 15 years of experience over the whole spectrum, from the darker shadowy corners to the realms of love and light and the hyper creative small scale artsy festival world (was involved in stage planning & design for Bucht der Traumer, Kamiwaza, Chateau Perche, Landjuweel, ...), she sees Peacock Garden as a tasting platter of all the good stuff.Total cat person. Sucker for floouuffiness.
Dookie * Community Leader
Professional mental health fixer by day, professional trouble seeker by night. Dookie gets inspired by pretty things and people coming together. Believes she can do anything she sets her mind too and believes you can too.Coming from the world of performing, always striving to make everything into a show. She was booked at the very first Peacock Garden as a pole dancer and stiltwalker, fell in love, and the rest is history.She sees the Peacock Garden as a playground where there’s space for people to flourish and for endless adventures. As the secretary she’s mostly handling the behind-the-screens situations, while taking frequent breaks to hang upside down.More of a dog person. Expressive and energetic.
Sophie * Safer Space Agent
aka Mme Markievicz, Headmistress of Consent School
As much as we like to be an easygoing 'anything goes' space, some things just need to be taken seriously. We need boundaries for our playground to exist. Sophie supports us in getting everyone to speak the same 'language' when it comes to voicing our desires, needs and wishes. She is a trained facilitator in consent related topics and on her way to become a certified sex and relationship coach. Will hypnotise you with her pronunciation… just listen to her say the word ‘Buttocks’ and be mesmerised.If you need to talk (confidentially) about an experience you had with or at Peacock Garden, feel free to reach out to her.
