Maybe you were shaped to be manageable. Polite. Pleasing. Efficient. Invisible. But maybe that doesn’t have to define you. The Crazy Permission Lab is a week to peel back what was never truly yours.
Whether you arrive open or guarded, glowing or messy — our welcome will be a warm one.
You’re invited to try giving yourself permission to take up space, feel deeply, and move freely.
The Crazy Permission Lab wants to support you in letting go of masks, roles, expectations — and “shoulds.”
There’ll be activities to ground you. Workshops designed to stir your softness and your spark.
You’ll meet rope, laughter, shadow, sensation, stillness. We explore pleasure and pain — without pressure, only presence. Your sovereignty is the highest value. Clothing is optional. Consent is not.
You’ll spend time with a group of humans as curious and imperfect as you. And together, we’ll remember what it’s like to live in our bodies — without performance, without shame, without apology.
Keep reading to feel whether you want to give yourself this permission.
Break away from your routines and your usual social environment. Cut the cables!
Imagine yourself in a faraway place in magical nature.
Lose control & find yourself.
Share this special and heartfelt experience with a supportive group, people of all ages and nationalities.

Permission.
The Crazy Permission Lab invites you to give yourself permission:
Permission to say no.
Clearly. Softly. Bluntly. Without guilt, without explanation, without apology.
Permission to say yes.
Fully. Fiercely. Messily. Sensually. Even if you’ve never said it before.
Permission to not know.
To show up unsure, confused, or hesitant — and still be fully here.
Permission to take up space.
Loudly or quietly. Naked or wrapped in five layers. Stretching, sighing, stimming, ecstatic, still.
Permission to be awkward.
Because awkwardness means you’re real. And realness is what we’re here for.
Permission to be confident.
And unapologetically show the world that you are.
Permission to hold on.
To pause. To doubt. To not decide yet. To need more time.
Permission to not shave.
To shave or not to shave — your body, your rules.
Permission to change your mind.
Mid-sentence. Mid-workshop. Mid-kiss.
Permission to not wear make-up.
To celebrate the natural face that greets you in the mirror.
To feel confident because of who you are — not because of how you are perceived.
Permission to dress up.
Femme fatale red lipstick, majestic eyelashes, glitter or silk, power boots or bare chest, softness or sharpness. Wear what makes you feel radiant, according to your vibe of the moment —because expression is fluid, and so are you.
Permission to be ordinary.
To not be magical, enlightened, activated, or upgraded. Just… human.
Permission to be quirky.
To share your personality quirks, your neurodivergent quirks, your gender expression quirks — and stand for them.
Permission to feel aroused.
Without needing to act on it, justify it, or explain where it came from.
Permission to experiment.
To learn, to try, to connect with your shadows.
To dominate, to submit. To tie, to be tied.
To trust the message of your body — even if it’s new.
Permission to let your body speak.
In breath, in movement, in stillness, in sound. Whether anyone’s watching or not.

There’s more text here than on the other Crazy Camp pages.
That’s because the Crazy Permission Lab is a very intentional space.
Too much text? No stress. Reach out — we’ll explore it together in a 📞 call.
This retreat is for you if you:
- Are longing to get out of your head and back into your body
- Are curious about power dynamics, permission, and play — without needing to perform
- Are open to sharing a dormitory space and co-creating the camp together
- Want to explore connection and boundaries in a supportive group
- Are ready to be seen — in your joy, your awkwardness, and the places you’ve softened or shrunk to stay safe.
- Embrace softness, slowness, and the kind of honesty that doesn’t always need words
- Want to meet others beyond small talk, through breath, movement, and presence
- Desire to explore your yes and your no — fully, heartfelt, and without shame
What you can expect:
- A simple mountain hut, far from signal and stress
- Gentle hikes, outdoor movement, and moments of deep stillness
- Daily workshops with themes like body consent, ropes, massage, playful power
- Time to rest, witness, be witnessed, and stretch your edges (or not)
- Shared meals with plant-based ingredients*
- A place where your body doesn’t need to explain or justify itself — no matter its shape, scars, or stories.
- Optional play time to explore your desires in full clarity and consent
- An alcohol and drug-free environment for emotional clarity and authentic experiences
- Opportunities to show up as yourself — even if you don’t yet know who that is
*Allergies? We can handle that – ask me how before signing up
Activities
The Crazy Permission Lab invites you into a full-bodied, full-hearted, immersive week of exploration.
We’ll hike through lush alpine meadows, rest by wild streams, and breathe mountain air that clears more than just your lungs. There’ll be time to swim, nap, stretch, or sit with your feet in cold water and your face in the sun.
We’ll practise grounding that meets you where you are. Meditations that open space without pressure. (And yes — we welcome short attention spans, stimming bodies, and restless legs. No “Ohmm” for 30 minutes, motionless.) Simple rituals will help root you in the moment.
Our days flow between movement and stillness, sensation and connection. Workshops explore boundaries, consent, conscious power dynamics, rope play, impact play, emotional negotiation, and body-based communication — all at your pace, always with agency.
Evenings are a mix of candlelight circles, shared meals, sensual rituals, laughter, vulnerability, sauna and playful experimentation. Sometimes we’ll dress up. Sometimes we’ll dress down. Sometimes we’ll just be.
You don’t need to arrive confident, kinky, or “ready.”
Just bring intention.

Location
We’ll be in a valley that only exists for those who know it exists.
Not a touristic place. No villages, no hotels. Just a narrow road — partly unpaved, only one car wide — winding into quiet.
We’re not the only souls in the valley. Here and there, scattered across the slopes, are summer farms — our hut is one of them — in use or resting, depending on the season. We’re stepping into the centuries-old rhythm of transhumance.
The valley can be romantic, lush, and friendly — and then wild and untamed. There are fast streams and steep rock walls, still lakes and fluffy meadows. The altitudes aren’t extreme; our hikes will rarely go beyond 2,100 metres. Yet we can choose to take on exposed and challenging trails — or stay with gentler paths through forest and field.
A beautiful mountain lake will not be skipped. Whether you dip in or witness, you’ll be part of the moment.
We’re in the central part of Switzerland, and the start of the valley is easily reached by public transport.

Accommodation
Our Mountain Hut: Unpolished, Unplugged, Unapologetic
It’s a simple mountain hut –It’s actually a farm, not a touristic infrastructure– at 1.300 metres, nestled in a valley with no villages, just some summer farms, and Nature.
Totally off-grid: no electricity, no Wi-Fi, no signal.
And that’s exactly what allows us to connect — with ourselves, with each other, and with the land. We have the hut just for ourselves.
We cook together on a wood stove, gather around a rustic table, sleep in shared rooms or the hayloft, and wash in the only luxury it offers: a warm shower. Our home for the week is warm, dry, and cozy. We choose simplicity because it allows us to expand into realness, and to feel into what truly matters.
No smoking in the house. In and around the house, during swimming activities and during parts of the hikes clothing is optional [read faq]
This is a new location for Crazy Camps.
Sleeping is communal: we have two cozy bedrooms with 4 beds each, and more space in the hayloft layered with mattresses, perfect for those who love soft landings and rustic vibes.
To keep things fair and low-pressure, we draw lots on the first evening to assign sleeping spots — it’s our way of making sure even the quietest voices have an equal place. (Curious how it works? Check the [FAQ]) Sleeping areas are mixed gender and shared, and while that can be a stretch for some, it’s also where many find surprising ease and connection. If you have a specific need around sleep or space — whether it’s sensory, emotional, or anything else — let me know when you apply or in the weeks before the Lab. I’ll do my best to make it work for you, with care and without judgement.
Indeed there’s no electricity — but plenty of togetherness and warmth. If you rely on certain electronic devices for regulation or sleep, let me know beforehand. There may be creative ways to support you. I recommend bringing a power bank (charged beforehand), and maybe a solar charger if you need minimal access for essential devices.

Wonderings & Whispered Questions
If you’re seriously feeling the call to join, it’s essential that you read these. If you’re just browsing for now — feel free to skip.
The Crazy Permission Lab invites you to arrive with intention.
We invite you to read this not to check boxes — but to feel into the field you’re stepping into.
• The Basics
Is this for me?
This Lab invites to drop in faster — not by pushing, but by showing up with whatever’s alive in you. It’s for you if you want to be met in your curiosity, your awkwardness, your edges — and if you are willing to meet others the same way.
You don’t need experience in conscious kink, bodywork, or group spaces. Just a willingness to be in your body, to stay curious, and to trust the process more than the plan.
It’s for us who are tired of playing roles. Tired of managing, performing, pretending. Tired of waiting for someone to give us permission to take up space that was ours to begin with — to feel, to ask, to say no, to say yes.
This is a space for realness. Come as you are. [And I mean it]
The space is held with care — not to direct the group, but to let it unfold. Together, we shape something honest, playful, and real.
Is this a conscious kink retreat?
No — and also, not not.
This is not a “kink gathering” with protocol and labels and latex (unless you bring your latex shorts yourself 😉). And it’s definitely not about performing or impressing anyone.
What this is, is a space where we explore sensation, connection, power, tenderness, boundaries, and play — with real attention to consent, emotional integrity, and the art of navigating yes and no through the body.
Some elements are inspired by conscious kink practices — things like impact play, simple rope, power exchange — but always with a Crazy Camp flavour: playful, slow, grounded, emotionally honest, and very optional.
You don’t need to be “into kink” or have any experience. You just need a willingness to meet yourself and others through the body, not through performance.
This is the fast lane to radical self-acceptance — not by adding more to who we are, but by making space for what’s already there.
We honour the strategies that kept us safe — and give ourselves permission to not be ruled by them.This isn’t about levelling up. It’s about landing deeper.
(Not floaty. Not dressed in white. Just real.)
What level of kink experience do I need?
None. Really. You don’t need to know any terms, techniques, or roles. If you’re new, you’ll be gently introduced to the magic — through consent-based play, embodied practice, and slow, supported exploration.
If you’re experienced, you’re welcome too — not to show off, but to show up. There’s no ranking, no gatekeeping. You’ll likely find yourself learning and inspiring, sometimes in the same breath.
Whether you’re curious, cautious, or kinky-to-the-bone — what matters is your presence, not your résumé.
Can I join if I’m not queer?
The Lab is a space that centres queer folks. Not by excluding anyone, but by creating an ecosystem where voices, bodies, and ways of being that are often pushed to the margins are simply… central.
If you’re not queer or genderqueer, you’re still very welcome — as long as you’re as curious about us as you are about yourself. This space thrives on presence, not perfection.

• Kink & Consent
What if I feel awkward or unsure during a kink-related activity?
That’s normal. Really normal.
Practices like impact play, ropes, or power dynamics can bring up a lot: excitement, resistance, memories, confusion, curiosity, embarrassment.
You might blush. You might laugh when you didn’t mean to.
You might feel aroused and unsure what to do with that.
You might not feel anything at all — and wonder if that’s okay. (It is.)
You’re allowed to feel awkward. You’re allowed to take a break.
You’re allowed to not know.
Consent is alive. Agency is real. Your yes, no, or “not right now” are not up for negotiation — and never need to be justified.
This isn’t a performance space. It’s a space to explore — with presence, curiosity, and choice. Your process, whatever shape it takes, is valid.
And — just as importantly — these practices can also bring calm. Groundedness. Joy. Laughter. Deep connection to your body.
And are the fast lane to radical self-acceptance.
What about switching partners during activities?
• We’ll often switch partners during workshops and activities. That means you’ll likely share some exercises involving physical closeness (and sometimes touch) with someone of the same gender. If that’s something you’re not ready for, this might not be the right Lab for you.
• In workshops that involve giving and receiving, we’ll also switch roles between giver and receiver. For example, you might first tie up your exercise partner, and then swap roles.
While switching partners is encouraged to support connection and diversity, you’re always welcome to skip or modify an activity if something doesn’t feel right for you. Consent isn’t just about touch — it’s about your pace, your presence, and your ability to opt in or out without pressure.
It’s also completely okay to not want to do a particular activity with a specific person. Part of our opening circle on the first day includes naming this — with kindness — as a shared understanding. Your preferences and boundaries don’t need to be justified, and they’re not a judgment on anyone else. We hold that with clarity, not shame.
Is this a sex camp?
No, it is not a sex camp. There may be moments of sensual energy.
There may be nudity, connection, arousal, or even consensual sex.
But sex is never a goal — and definitely never an expectation. This is not a hunting ground. We don’t perform for each other. And we don’t make assumptions about anyone’s desire or consent.
Consensual sex? All good. Just not during workshops or when it’s your turn to do the dishes, cheers.
Our advice for seekers:
If you’re looking for sex, you’ll probably be annoyed here. Better book a TUI trip to Ibiza — you’ll get more of it there, and with less hiking 😉
• Body & Nudity
Will people be naked all the time?
Nope. Not all the time. And never required. So maybe even never! As with other CrazyCamps, clothing is optional — which simply means: you’re free to wear what feels good, also if that’s nothing. Nudity might happen in some workshops, in and around the hut, during the sauna, or in body-based exercises and play. It’s not performative or stylised. It’s just bodies being bodies.
You’re never expected to undress. And “I want to be naked” doesn’t imply “I want to be sexualised.” Your body, your rules.
What about body-positivity?
Yessssss! Fully. Not the Instagram version — the actual version, where every body is welcome. No need to tone, shave, squeeze, or polish.
Soft bellies, folds, stretch marks, scars, hair, gender expression, neurodivergence — all of it belongs. You don’t need to look a certain way to deserve to be seen, to be touched with care, to receive softness. You are not a project to be improved. You are. And that’s enough.
🩸 By the way—this is a space where your period doesn’t need to be hidden. There’s no need to perform cheerfulness, and free bleeding is absolutely welcome. The expression of your body isn’t taboo here.
• Emotions & Expectations
Will I be judged?
Crazy Camps strive to be a judgement-free zone. But since there’s no button to turn judgement off, we create that space together.
You won’t be judged for being too much, too quiet, too glittery, too shy, too naked, too clothed — or anything in between.
Not by the group, not by the facilitators, and hopefully not by yourself.
The invitation is to offer that same gift to others.
Will flashes of judgement still arise? Of course. We’re humanoids.
But here, we meet them with breath, not blame.
We get curious — not critical. That’s how we unlearn.
This is a space where you don’t need to perform, prove, or impress.
You get to be messy, awkward, bold, soft — whatever is present in you.
When words add nothing, let’s stay silent. Let the body speak.
Do I have to join every activity?
No. This is not a “push-through-it” kind of space. You’re always invited to listen to your body, your energy, your needs — and choose what feels right in the moment.
That said: this Lab works best when people show up.
Not perfectly. Not performatively. Just… present.
You’re not expected to be in the mood for everything. Maybe the hike was too long. Maybe you’re bleeding. Maybe something in you just says, “not now.”
That’s okay. Just stay in contact — with yourself, and with the group field, even from the sideline.
This isn’t just a series of activities. It’s a full-time lab for recalibrating your yes&no, feeling into your edges, and maybe even expanding your comfort zone.
What if I need solitude or rest? Can I take time for myself?
Yes, absolutely. We are a community — and there are pockets of solitude, too.
A blanket under a tree, a silent moment by a stream, solo walks between sessions.
You don’t have to be “on” all the time. You can disappear for a while, and come back when you’re ready. This isn’t a social marathon. It’s a permission-based flow.
Whatever you need for self-regulation — stimming, headphones, movement breaks, wrapping yourself in a cocoon of blankets — isn’t just accepted, it’s celebrated. Your nervous system is a guest of honour here.
Not every moment needs to be deep or transformational. You don’t need to push past your edge unless you truly feel called. Sometimes resting, observing, or simply saying “I’ll pass” is the deepest presence you can offer.
This space isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about being with yourself — in the gentlest no, the curious maybe, and the full-bodied yes.
Can I come with my partner?
Yes, you’re welcome — as long as you’re willing to participate as two individuals.
That means: for most activities, you’ll be invited to partner with different people. You’re welcome to check in, debrief, or share private moments outside the group flow — but we ask couples to avoid becoming a “satellite bubble” inside the retreat.
This space thrives on openness, curiosity, and shared energy — not orbiting pairs. You’ll still be walking the path side by side — even if your hands aren’t always joined.
What’s the joining process — and what if I can’t be there the whole time?
This isn’t a drop-in retreat. It’s a living, breathing group process — and the way we shape it together depends on who shows up, and how. Before joining, everyone fills in an application. And before confirming your place, we’ll have a video call. It’s not an audition — it’s a moment to feel whether the intentions align. That way, when the camp begins, you’re not stepping into the unknown. The group is already holding a shared thread. If it is logistically possible, we will also have a video call all together around one week before the event
The idea is that everyone arrives on the first day...
It’s when the group field starts to form, and your presence really matters. If arriving late is truly the only option, talk to us — we’ll see if it’s workable.
… And leaves on the last day.
But of course you’re always free to leave early. For example if something urgent pulls you away, or because the Lab just isn’t for you after all. If that moment comes, we’ll support you with logistics and care. No pressure–always your decision.
• Healing, but not therapy
Is this therapy? Is this healing?
No and kind of. This is not a therapy retreat. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be healing.
There is no therapist in the Lab. We don’t diagnose, label, or dissect. We explore.
There is no promise of transformation — but realness has a way of bringing it.
Think of it as a space where your nervous system can breathe, and your body can remember what it already knows. After all, healing often just means showing up real — and being met there.
We care deeply. If something big comes up for you, we’ll be around for grounding check-ins, witnessing, holding space, and presence.
If you know you’re working through trauma, I invite you to reach out before joining. We’ll gently explore together whether this space feels like it could feel resourcing, co-regulating, and right for where you are right now. We don’t promise a perfect container — but we do tend to it with attention, openness, and care.

You might feel aroused and unsure what to do with that.
You might not feel anything at all — and wonder if that’s okay. (It is.)
You’re allowed to feel awkward. You’re allowed to take a break.
You’re allowed to not know.
Consent is alive. Agency is real. Your yes, no, or “not right now” are not up for negotiation — and never need to be justified.
This isn’t a performance space. It’s a space to explore — with presence, curiosity, and choice. Your process, whatever shape it takes, is valid.
And — just as importantly — these practices can also bring calm. Groundedness. Joy. Laughter. Deep connection to your body.
And are the fast lane to radical self-acceptance.
What about switching partners during activities?
• We’ll often switch partners during workshops and activities. That means you’ll likely share some exercises involving physical closeness (and sometimes touch) with someone of the same gender. If that’s something you’re not ready for, this might not be the right Lab for you.
• In workshops that involve giving and receiving, we’ll also switch roles between giver and receiver. For example, you might first tie up your exercise partner, and then swap roles.
While switching partners is encouraged to support connection and diversity, you’re always welcome to skip or modify an activity if something doesn’t feel right for you. Consent isn’t just about touch — it’s about your pace, your presence, and your ability to opt in or out without pressure.
It’s also completely okay to not want to do a particular activity with a specific person. Part of our opening circle on the first day includes naming this — with kindness — as a shared understanding. Your preferences and boundaries don’t need to be justified, and they’re not a judgment on anyone else. We hold that with clarity, not shame.
Is this a sex camp?
No, it is not a sex camp. There may be moments of sensual energy.
There may be nudity, connection, arousal, or even consensual sex.
But sex is never a goal — and definitely never an expectation. This is not a hunting ground. We don’t perform for each other. And we don’t make assumptions about anyone’s desire or consent.
Consensual sex? All good. Just not during workshops or when it’s your turn to do the dishes, cheers.
Our advice for seekers:
If you’re looking for sex, you’ll probably be annoyed here. Better book a TUI trip to Ibiza — you’ll get more of it there, and with less hiking 😉
• Body & Nudity
Will people be naked all the time?
Nope. Not all the time. And never required. So maybe even never! As with other CrazyCamps, clothing is optional — which simply means: you’re free to wear what feels good, also if that’s nothing. Nudity might happen in some workshops, in and around the hut, during the sauna, or in body-based exercises and play. It’s not performative or stylised. It’s just bodies being bodies.
You’re never expected to undress. And “I want to be naked” doesn’t imply “I want to be sexualised.” Your body, your rules.
What about body-positivity?
Yessssss! Fully. Not the Instagram version — the actual version, where every body is welcome. No need to tone, shave, squeeze, or polish.
Soft bellies, folds, stretch marks, scars, hair, gender expression, neurodivergence — all of it belongs. You don’t need to look a certain way to deserve to be seen, to be touched with care, to receive softness. You are not a project to be improved. You are. And that’s enough.
🩸 By the way—this is a space where your period doesn’t need to be hidden. There’s no need to perform cheerfulness, and free bleeding is absolutely welcome. The expression of your body isn’t taboo here.
• Emotions & Expectations
Will I be judged?
Crazy Camps strive to be a judgement-free zone. But since there’s no button to turn judgement off, we create that space together.
You won’t be judged for being too much, too quiet, too glittery, too shy, too naked, too clothed — or anything in between.
Not by the group, not by the facilitators, and hopefully not by yourself.
The invitation is to offer that same gift to others.
Will flashes of judgement still arise? Of course. We’re humanoids.
But here, we meet them with breath, not blame.
We get curious — not critical. That’s how we unlearn.
This is a space where you don’t need to perform, prove, or impress.
You get to be messy, awkward, bold, soft — whatever is present in you.
When words add nothing, let’s stay silent. Let the body speak.
Do I have to join every activity?
No. This is not a “push-through-it” kind of space. You’re always invited to listen to your body, your energy, your needs — and choose what feels right in the moment.
That said: this Lab works best when people show up.
Not perfectly. Not performatively. Just… present.
You’re not expected to be in the mood for everything. Maybe the hike was too long. Maybe you’re bleeding. Maybe something in you just says, “not now.”
That’s okay. Just stay in contact — with yourself, and with the group field, even from the sideline.
This isn’t just a series of activities. It’s a full-time lab for recalibrating your yes&no, feeling into your edges, and maybe even expanding your comfort zone.
What if I need solitude or rest? Can I take time for myself?
Yes, absolutely. We are a community — and there are pockets of solitude, too.
A blanket under a tree, a silent moment by a stream, solo walks between sessions.
You don’t have to be “on” all the time. You can disappear for a while, and come back when you’re ready. This isn’t a social marathon. It’s a permission-based flow.
Whatever you need for self-regulation — stimming, headphones, movement breaks, wrapping yourself in a cocoon of blankets — isn’t just accepted, it’s celebrated. Your nervous system is a guest of honour here.
Not every moment needs to be deep or transformational. You don’t need to push past your edge unless you truly feel called. Sometimes resting, observing, or simply saying “I’ll pass” is the deepest presence you can offer.
This space isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about being with yourself — in the gentlest no, the curious maybe, and the full-bodied yes.
Can I come with my partner?
Yes, you’re welcome — as long as you’re willing to participate as two individuals.
That means: for most activities, you’ll be invited to partner with different people. You’re welcome to check in, debrief, or share private moments outside the group flow — but we ask couples to avoid becoming a “satellite bubble” inside the retreat.
This space thrives on openness, curiosity, and shared energy — not orbiting pairs. You’ll still be walking the path side by side — even if your hands aren’t always joined.
What’s the joining process — and what if I can’t be there the whole time?
This isn’t a drop-in retreat. It’s a living, breathing group process — and the way we shape it together depends on who shows up, and how. Before joining, everyone fills in an application. And before confirming your place, we’ll have a video call. It’s not an audition — it’s a moment to feel whether the intentions align. That way, when the camp begins, you’re not stepping into the unknown. The group is already holding a shared thread. If it is logistically possible, we will also have a video call all together around one week before the event
The idea is that everyone arrives on the first day...
It’s when the group field starts to form, and your presence really matters. If arriving late is truly the only option, talk to us — we’ll see if it’s workable.
… And leaves on the last day.
But of course you’re always free to leave early. For example if something urgent pulls you away, or because the Lab just isn’t for you after all. If that moment comes, we’ll support you with logistics and care. No pressure–always your decision.
• Healing, but not therapy
Is this therapy? Is this healing?
No and kind of. This is not a therapy retreat. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be healing.
There is no therapist in the Lab. We don’t diagnose, label, or dissect. We explore.
There is no promise of transformation — but realness has a way of bringing it.
Think of it as a space where your nervous system can breathe, and your body can remember what it already knows. After all, healing often just means showing up real — and being met there.
We care deeply. If something big comes up for you, we’ll be around for grounding check-ins, witnessing, holding space, and presence.
If you know you’re working through trauma, I invite you to reach out before joining. We’ll gently explore together whether this space feels like it could feel resourcing, co-regulating, and right for where you are right now. We don’t promise a perfect container — but we do tend to it with attention, openness, and care.

Who’s inviting us here?
On an energetic level: it’s the field itself — shaped by all of us, even before we meet.
On a practical level: it’s me, Klaas.
If you’ve been to a Crazy Camp before, you probably already know a lot about me. I’m not leading from above; I’m walking alongside — tending, inviting, sometimes holding a mirror, sometimes simply holding the door open.
I’ve hosted over 50 of these gatherings, and each one has deepened my trust: in groups, in spaces, and in the quiet intelligence that moves between us when we show up real.
I’m not a certified facilitator or trained therapist. I’ve learned by doing — by listening, by holding space, by being in the mess of it with others, and by staying honest about my own humanness. If you knew my full story, you might not recognise the details — but I think you’d recognise the feelings. I’ve known both joy and disconnection, rupture and repair. My path hasn’t been linear or polished, but it’s taught me how to sit with contradiction, and to welcome what’s real — not just what looks good.
I’ve given Shibari workshops, have years of conscious kink experience, and held a lot of group processes — but more than methods or tools, what I bring is presence. And a deep trust that, with the right container, people can meet themselves with more honesty, compassion, and permission than they thought possible.
I don’t stand in front of the group. I walk with it. And for this part of the path, I’ll help tend the fire, hold the edges with care, and invite you — gently — to bring your full self. The parts that shine. And the parts you usually keep tucked away.
Also — I’m a white, middle-aged, European man. That comes with a lot of privilege, and, inevitably, blind spots. I care deeply about creating a space that’s free from sexism, racism, queerphobia, or other forms of harm — not through perfection, but through practice. If I miss something, or you feel something land in a way that doesn’t feel good, I would like to hear it. I’ll do my best to listen, learn, and make it right — not just for you, but for the group. This space is about unlearning as much as it is about expression. That goes for me, too.

Pure & Clean
Let’s enjoy this marvelous adventure in this beautiful mountain valley without any stimulants! We will refrain from consuming alcohol and drugs. Our body will take care of generating adrenaline, endorphins, serotonin, dopamine and lots of oxytocin for happy vibes :) ► Read more here.
LOW RADIATION • In the hut and directly around there is no GSM/mobile phone reception. Also on parts of the hikes there is no network. In the hut there is no WiFi -not even electricity- and if we keep our phones on airplane mode we will not be generating any radiation ourselves either. Only at some occasions we will use a bluetooth speaker.

Food
Cooking will be done by the group for the group; no à la carte service :) Because we are high in the mountains, our resources are limited, and we’ll all have to be flexible. If you are very precise with your food, then this is not the right experience for you, sorry.
All food is 100% plant based. The provided food is vegan. Also, please don’t bring any animal origin foods with you, such as meat, chicken, fish, seafood, honey, milk, yoghurt, cheese, products containing gelatine, etc. [why is this?] If you think you can’t do without them, this is the perfect occasion to learn how rich and fulfilling plant based nutrition can be :)
This is an alcohol-free event. The provided drinks are non-alcoholic. Also, please don’t bring any alcoholic drinks yourself. We’ll do without external stimulants :) So no drugs as well. Only for coffee, we’ll make an exception.
We’ll always do our best to accommodate allergies.
It is not always possible to accommodate intolerances. Please contact me to discuss (im)possibilities.

The leadership team
There’s no leadership team, no staff, no “above.”
I (Klaas) will be participating in this Lab just like you — as a body, a story, a presence. In this adventure, I’ll live alongside you — not above you.
I’ve opened this space because it feels meaningful to do so.
Not as a service. Not as something I’m offering to you — but as something we get to step into together.
If you choose to join, I’ll tend the edges with care,
help keep the fire burning, and be there — as your fellow human — in the unfolding of it all.

Slow sauna
A special guest appearance at the Crazy Permission Lab: the one-of-a-kind Crazy Camp Slow Sauna.
This isn’t your usual sweat-and-run. The Crazy Camp Slow Sauna is more of a soft gathering than a steamy sprint. The wood stove crackles, the heat builds slowly — not pushing, just inviting.
We settle in. Bodies relax. A cosy place where shoulders might touch. There might be silence. Or some laughter. Or someone quietly sharing something they didn’t know they needed to say.
No timer, no rush, no performance. Just a shared space to be warm, present, and human.
That’s enough.

Environmental Impact
The environmental impact of the Crazy Permission Lab is very small.
- We will not use touristic cable cars or alike during our stay.
- Hiking trails are the only infrastructure that we use. There is very little touristic infrastructure on ‘our’ mountain
- There is no electricity in our accommodation
- As we live in community, we are heating much smaller volumes of spaces then what we would need individually. We will cook centrally for the group, which is way more efficient than people cooking individually at home
- Our food is entirely plant based. Livestock farming, together with the industry that comes with it, is one of the biggest contributors to climate change and destruction of nature. By sticking to plant based nutrition, we do our taste buds and our health a favour – and we do Planet Earth as a whole a favour. Check this link for more info.
- Our activities are not ‘gear-intensive’ and we don’t need to buy lots of materials etc.

How to get there
We will be in a very central part of Switzerland. Your International (night or day) train will probably take you to Basel, Zürich, Lausanne or Geneva; from there you’ll have to take one intercity and one local train. An international bus to Luzern would also work.
The other option is to offer or join a ride-share, for example through blablacar or with other Crazy Permission Lab participants [read faq].
► Click here for our location on the map of Switzerland (pop up)
From our meeting place we will hike up to the hut (around 3hrs) but we will try to arrange car transport for the steeper part of that hike.
