TEAM

Anne is one of those wonderful, authentic individuals who enrich the world and simply make it a better place with their existance: open-hearted, unafraid to share her thoughts and feelings, she readily embraces  vulnerability while understanding and appreciating it in others. Anne, we cherish you so much! 

In 2019, Anne discovered TIR for the first time, and it was a perfect match from the beginning. Since then, she has been a dedicated member of the Core Team in organizing the festival. As former head of volunteers, she maintains a clear overview over staff, tasks, shifts, and all lists… and might have occasionally reminded you of your duties at the festival with a broom and shovel. 

With now being the head of the Orga Team, Anne is now wonderfully taking care of the team, has an overview of all the tasks and jumps in if anything needs to be done urgently. At 2024’s festival Edition in August, Anne will also be the MC of all gatherings and circles. 

Alex studied cultural management and has co-created a bunch of art festivals in Vienna prior to joining the Intimate Revolution team. With her background, she helps out in many areas, be it negotiations, making a budget or finding the right sponsors. Also as a part of the queer community in Vienna she advices the Intimate Revolution on queer topics and inclusivity. After working for a while as a paramedic, driving through the streets of Vienna and saving lifes, she is currently studying medicine to take her passion for the emergency medicine to the next level.

Despite it being a cliche, Alex is deeply in love with her cat Aria and dreams of finding joy and fullfilment through self-love and indepence, letting go of the past and finding love and relaxation in the ever-fleeting moment.

Timon is passionate for things as diverse as drumming, numbers, feminism, sex, and golden nail polish. One of his most developed skills is the art of relish.

He thinks that the world urgently needs more glitter and creativity in men’s fashion and is convinced that feminism and queerness might save our planet.

He takes care of the fascinating world of accounting at The Intimate Revolution.

Milo is very strongly dedicated to smashing patriarchal toxicities

Jana’s journey through the realms of intimacy started as a med student within the kink & polyamory community in Graz, later she managed a sex-positive location in Vienna for two years, worked as a professional cuddler and talked on stage at TedX about Consent – “The Power of Saying No”. In 2018 she founded the Intimate Revolution with the vision to create a culture of consent and open a space for authentic intimacy. In her day job she is a doctor of human medicine and is working towards opening an ordination for sexual medicine.

Martin’s heart beats for connection and for nature, especially for trees.

He originally studied engineering, developing solar water treatment projects at the Fraunhofer Institute. These days he shares his knowledge about nature and technology, making companies greener, educating the next generation about ecology and how we can adapt to change.

At The Intimate Revolution, his dedication on finding sustainable solutions on every level of the organisation has made the festival as green and sustainable as possible.

Well, there is a transition about to happen. Moritz just enrolled in his studies of psychotherapy and has always had great visions about what a healthy society could look like. As The Intimate Revolution is definitely a place where healthy living is being practiced while learning a lot about yourself, Moritz is thrilled about being part of it! 

This is Sam. He doesn’t know what to write about himself. He wishes someone would write this for him…

Sam lives for music, nature, movement and burrito hugs. He spends a lot of time hanging out with weird & wonderful sunshine-humans. (the people who bring rays of sunshine with them everywhere)

He sings. He speaks. He sleeps.

Anna lives and breathes for aliveness and depth. Those two things are central for anything she does; be it holding workshops, being part of s+ spaces, educating and learning about ecology & climate or exploring nature and rock faces. Her guiding star is feeling, experiencing and creating her inner and outer world as fully as possible – and she has found TIR to be an excellent place for that.

Sora joined the organizational team from 2021 to 2023. She loves and shares the values of the Intimate Revolution and helped us spread them through her genius organizational skills in the email lead as well as registration lead. She welcomed us warmly at the symposium and

Hi, I’m Emily, living in Berlin for most of my adult life. Since last year with my tiny dog & growing to love being an introvert.

Big on structuring and feeling – that’s why I am combining my business background with systemic coaching. I enjoy slow & soft connection and firm hugs 🙂

My vision is to support sex positive spaces with creating an aestehtic frame through light, color and fabric. As I move forward I continiously discover beauty in contrast and variation. I believe in the powerful social impact of the sex-positive movement, especially tangible within The Intimate Revolution, which I have discovered for me as a safe and unique space to encounter and explore.

Hello out there, I am Fio. I am a super communicative, outgoing, sexual and sensitive human being. I dream of a better world for everyone, I love deconstructing everything, playfulness, softness, good food and deep talks with strangers.

The IR is the place where I feel free to be who ever I am in that exact moment. I am convinced that we need a revolution that is based on consent, taking care of our own and others boundaries, a lot of softness and healing sexual interactions!
