Dear Tantric beings,

Summer is finally arriving here in the UK and with it comes that delicious shift in energy — warmer days, softer evenings, more skin, more openness, and more opportunities for connection. We can already feel the excitement building as The Love Festival 2026 continues to grow, with more than half of our available places now booked. Huge thanks again to all the beautiful men (especially the returners!) who have already trusted our vision and jumped in early.

The Festival is shaping up to be something truly special — not just a gathering, but a deeply immersive journey into connection, play, intimacy, embodiment, and transformation. Every month the energy grows stronger, and our facilitators continue preparing workshops and experiences designed to awaken the body, open the heart, and invite you further into your most alive, authentic self.

This month, we’re excited to introduce two more of our wonderful UK-based facilitators: Andy Butterfield and Ian Rose. Both bring a grounded, heart-led energy to the Festival, with practices rooted in movement, yoga, breathwork, embodiment, and deep human connection. Expect workshops that help you slow down, drop into your body, breathe more deeply, and connect with yourself and others in ways that feel nourishing, playful, and profoundly real. Their warmth, presence, and ability to hold space are going to bring something truly beautiful to the Festival experience.

And before we all arrive together in Glastonbury next summer, don’t forget Richie and Joey are hosting a special one-off Tantra Conscious Kink Taster evening this June at Anatomie London — home of queer Shibari and kink. This playful, consent-led evening is designed for everyone from the tantra-curious to the more experienced explorer looking for connection, edge, intimacy, and conscious play.

If you’ve been thinking about joining us but would like to know more, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’re always happy to answer questions, connect personally, and help you feel into whether this experience is right for you.

Think intimacy. Think play. Think edge. Think conscious connection.

Sending you all heartfelt love,

Joey & Richie

P.S. A little favour, please...
Because The Love Festival mailing list is still relatively new, some of our emails are sadly being swallowed by internet gremlins and ending up in spam folders. If you’ve been enjoying these newsletters, we’d really appreciate you sending a quick positive reply or hello to joey@thelovefestival.uk and/or richie@thelovefestival.uk — it genuinely helps improve our email reputation and makes sure future updates land safely in inboxes rather than the digital void!

And finally — if you’re feeling excited about what we’re creating, please help us spread the word. Share this newsletter with friends and communities who might resonate, follow The Love Festival on Instagram, repost or retweet our content, and help us grow this beautiful movement of connection, play, presence, and queer joy.
