Question 1

What should I bring?

Accepted Answer

Bring a journal, water bottle, and anything that helps you feel comfortable and expressive—layers for changing weather, a towel for the pool, and an open heart. Clothing is optional at Lupin, so bring what feels aligned for you.

Question 2

Is this workshop for me if I’m shy or nervous about being seen?

Accepted Answer

Yes! This space is lovingly designed for people at all levels of comfort with visibility and expression. You’re encouraged to participate at your own pace—there’s no pressure to perform or “get it right.”

Question 3

Do I have to participate in the Low Expectations Cabaret?

Accepted Answer

Nope! While the workshop can be a beautiful warm-up for the Cabaret, performing is completely optional. Come for the inner growth, the play, or the chance to surprise yourself—you get to choose your own edge.

Question 4

Do I need to be naked at Lupin Lodge?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Lupin is clothing-optional, which means you’re free to wear whatever makes you feel safe, open, relaxed, or playful, and that includes wearing nothing at all.  All bodies and choices are respected. The only exception is that the pool area is strictly nude.

Question 5

What does the $35 ticket include?

Your ticket includes the full workshop and cabaret, plus day use access to Lupin Lodge’s beautiful grounds, pool, hot tub, sauna, hiking trails, and more—a discounted rate compared to the standard $45 day pass.
