FAQ - Everything you'd like to know (we think :)

Where is this beautiful adventure?

Located in the French countryside, with romantic sunset views, our chateau is the perfect backdrop for our little getaway.
You'll receive the exact location when you have your invite, it's in central France, about 7-8 hours driving from Ams / 4 hours from Paris. Airports aren't superclose, so carpooling is preferred. We'll create a ride sharing sheet.
The nearest train station is a 14 min drive. About 3 hours from Paris.

What about food & drinks?

We have a bar and a night bar, where you can pay with card.
We believe shared meals are important for a community feeling, so we'll have brunch, dinners and some snack moments together.Please note: we're aware that last year, during our maiden voyage, we couldn't always offer the meals as intended. This year, we're working with a new chef and set up. We still firmly believe in community meals. Our community nights have surely proven the value of sharing a meal.What's included in your dinner ticket? (99 Euro)

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 be ready to express 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.

Can you describe what it's like?

"On Friday afternoon, you arrive to set up camp. Afterwards, you go check out the courtyard, where the bar is playing some welcoming tunes.
You meet the first circus creatures of our troupe and explore the terrain. 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.

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.

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.
