(AN)OTHER ORGY
"A festival with unrestrained debauchery", says the Duden dictionary, "nocturnal Bacchus celebration; sacred act; mystical service; cultic secret meeting at night", says the etymology, "debauchery, revelry, licentiousness; (elevated) excess, excessiveness", says the synonym dictionary, "communal acts in which customs are deliberately violated", says the Wikipedia entry. An orgy! So legendary and yet so simply beautiful, or even quite crude. In any case, our cultural unconscious is full of nebulous ideas about what an orgy can be. Not for nothing is it on the bucket list for many. Wait no longer! Our three-day...
QUEERING BONDAGE JAM ZURICH - KEEP IT! - BINDING WITH STONES - with Newbie Intro
All too often, bondage games take on heteronormative forms - which is fine, but we want to try out inventive ways of experiencing something completely different. Queering - as a verb - stands for the desire for a whole spectrum of: questioning, refreshing, making visible, playing, irritating, celebrating, trying out, liquefying, encouraging, expanding, inventing, solidarizing, mixing, standing by oneself, appropriating, becoming, transforming...

(AN)OTHER INTIMACY - POWER OF PLAY
Intimacy outside of fixed patterns and conventions is fantastic, creative and unpredictable - that's what makes it so appealing, but also quite complex and challenging. In the (AN)OTHER INTIMACY workshops we want to embark on this venture! In the POWER OF PLAY course, we raise the standards and intensity a little and focus on play as a method and form of intimate and intensive encounter. The interest: How do interactions change when we consciously shape them through play? What can we learn about ourselves through play? What happens when we set aside fixed goals, our self-criticism and our expectations of ourselves and focus on presence, spontaneity and pleasure? As researchers together, we make...

FILIPPA FRICK: HAPTOLOGY - EXPLORATIONS OF TOUCH, INTENTION & INNER ATTITUDE
Feel me, feel me...? - The tactile and haptic sensuality of our bodies puts us in a lifelong and uninterrupted tactile connection with what surrounds us - and with ourselves. Touch is essential, vital and fundamental to who we are and what we are, how we encounter the world and other beings in it. But as central as it is to our identity and our coexistence with other people, in our everyday consciousness it usually appears more as a necessity - to achieve a goal, to fulfill a formality, to make a difference.

TANTRA - WITH A PINCH OF SALT - RETREAT IN SPAIN
Bodies...what can they do? Bring your body to us and we will find out. Using tantra massage as a springboard into the clumsy, complex world of human relations, we help you expand your carnal knowledge. This intense form of intimacy, a massage technique performed and received in the nude, contains so much human potential. This luxurious act gives democratic attention to all body parts, allowing space for whatever wants to come up. With care and attention, we guide you through movement and meditative mornings which bring you into closer contact with yourself. From there, with humility and humor, we ask the question: is today's erogenous zone your eyelashes or your ears, your feet or your asshole? Do you need a break or a debate, a hug or a slap in the face?

WINTA BONDAGE JAM ZURICH - SHIBARI IM SERRAT(U)S - with Newbie Intro
Rope Bondage is for everyone! However, this has not necessarily been the case with our usual Bondage Jam, because often things are quite conventional and heteronormative - and that does not fit for everyone.Therefore, there is now the WINTA BONDAGE JAM!WINTA stands for "Woman, Inter, Nonbinary, Trans, Agender" and this special Jam is primarily about creating a space where people who identify as WINTA can simply be among themselves. So basically it's very simple: people who don't see themselves as WINTA , please stay away from the event.

Intimacy outside of fixed patterns and conventions is fantastic, creative and unpredictable - that's what makes it so appealing, but also quite complex and challenging. In the (AN)OTHER INTIMACY workshops, we want to embark on this adventure! The ON SLOWNESS & INTENSITY course makes slowness the guiding concept of our explorations. It not only enables us to take a more differentiated look at what we experience and to grasp it in many more facets and qualities. Rather, slowness itself becomes an instrument of intensification - go sloooooow, baby! With the help of meditation elements and breathing work, we slow down and playfully search for and examine encounters and experiences in this workshop.

SHIBARI BASICS FLOORWORK: SURRENDER & CONNECTION
This workshop - which combined with the Intro Day is suitable for beginners - focuses on slowness, breathing and body awareness as the basis for attentive and trusting contact between the tying parties. With a little bodywork, we develop our anatomical understanding and lay the foundations for reading other bodies and understanding ropes as a medium for non-verbal communication. In this way we can dare to oscillate gently between comfort zone and borderline experience.
