Hands Together

Join Us For A 4-Day Powerful Immersion

Mindful Kink Retreat is a heart-centered, transformational gathering co-created by Critical Kinking (CK) of Collective Knowledge and The Kinky Bed & Bondage. Our first retreat in April 2025 was pure magic—bringing together a vibrant, values-aligned community of seekers, creatives, and kinksters in a lovingly curated space for exploration, connection, and play.

MKR 2027 centers around our core pillars:

 

Conscious Communication 

 

Tantra and Sacred Sexuality 
 

Intentional Kink  


 

Each of these practices is powerful on its own—but woven together, they become a transformative recipe for connection, exploration, and aligned experience.

Firewalk - Ignite your passion ~ Spark your creativity ~ Blaze your future

The ancient ritual of firewalking is a tool used by seekers of truth, transformation, and empowerment for over 4,000 years. The act of walking through the fire is a powerful means of overcoming fear, and breaking free of the illusions and limiting beliefs we hold in life. The internal strength gained from this experience becomes evident in our daily lives as we realize that we are able to do that which we once thought of as impossible.

Tickets for this event are $75 per person which includes a 3 hour demonstration, starting with the intentional building of the fire and then walking of the 8ft fire. Click here for more information about this once in a lifetime event. Limited to 40 tickets!
