Out Of The Box is a trilogy of workshops on ways to shape encounters, intimacy and sexuality in new, creative ways, away from the familiar and often repetitive. The workshops cover three subject areas that open up new worlds of experience with different strategies, learning techniques and plenty of time for experimentation and self-awareness. We will also explore the limits of our comfort zones and dedicate ourselves to BDSM and kink practices. In this way, we develop new playing fields for encounters with ourselves and others through conscious and pleasurable involvement.
In this second workshop of the trilogy, we will devote ourselves entirely to the sensuality of our bodies. We are inspired by the concept of shoshin, the beginner's mind - a term from Zen Buddhism that refers to an inner attitude of openness, curiosity and the beneficial absence of preconceptions or judgments. In this attitude of not knowing and not being known, we rediscover our sensorium together, as if we were experiencing the amazing sensory abilities of our bodies for the first time.
Seeing, hearing, smelling, touching, tasting. Five modes guide us through the course, suggesting a movement of approach in this order - because we can already see each other at a great distance, but taste only in unheard-of immediacy. While we want to decode the creative, intimate and emotional potential of each of our senses, how they touch and move us ultimately depends on who we are. And so our joint explorations, in which we want to separate, deprive, combine and merge senses, are not only about new impulses and materials for our playful creativity in encounters. It is also about learning more about ourselves and our relationship to our bodies, about other people and about encounters and relationships with one another.

NOTES ON THE EVENT
- The goals of our events are to learn together in a group and to support joint processes as well as personal development. Couples and all other types of partnerships or constellations are welcome, but you should be aware and open to the fact that the courses are not designed as partnership experiences and that we address each person as an individual. For example: in order to include all participants equally, we usually work with random partner combinations in the exercises. So there will be both same gender and different gender combinations. Participants should generally be open to working with any person and any body. Exceptions can be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
- Gender identity, sexual orientation, age etc. are not criteria when registering and selecting participants.
- We expect you to act in a careful, communicative, consensus-oriented and mindful way and we encourage you to respect your own boundaries and self-responsibility.
- Hate Speech will not be tolerated. Please bring "candy speech" with you.
- We reserve the right to ask participants to leave the workshop should their behaviour be hurtful or too problematic, and we reserve the right to do so without explanation - although we will probably try to explain. Workshop fees would then be refunded in full. Further claims are then excluded.
- We do our best to accommodate different needs, but our resources are limited. Contact us if you are in doubt.

CANCELLATION POLICY
Cancellations are free of charge up to eight weeks before the start of the course, up to four weeks before the start of the course a cancellation fee of 20% of the course fee is due, up to two weeks before the start of the course a cancellation fee of 50% is due. Later cancellations and refunds of participant fees are not possible. However, participants can find substitute participants who will take the booked places. In case of cancellation by the organizer, the course fee will be refunded in full. Further claims are excluded.
CORONA REGULATIONS & PROCEDURES
In principle, we adhere to the latest official regulations and Corona measures and inform participants in good time before the start of the course about what is currently valid. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at any time.
It is currently impossible to predict how the Corona pandemic will develop in the coming weeks and months. A further ban on events or new, far-reaching restrictions and regulations that would make it no longer reasonable to hold the course are conceivable. In the event of a cancellation for these reasons, we would be grateful to all bookers to support us in bearing the costs that nevertheless arise, such as the ticket booking fees and any cancellation costs for the rented rooms. We would then inform you about the amount. This support would be voluntary, of course, but an important support for us.
