- Attending the NEWBIE INTRO is mandatory for people who want to attend the QUEER BONDAGE JAM for the first time - regardless of whether they already know bondage jams in general! Tickets for the intro and the jam must be booked separately. -
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...
At the QUEERING BONDAGE JAMS, we therefore want to give more space to creativity in general by giving an imaginative person the opportunity to inspire others with queer, creative and artistic ideas about bondage at the beginning of each event - after the Newbie Intro, i.e. at 3 pm.
May the fabulous develop!
We look forward to every visit, from the curious to the professional.
With intro for newbies
The intro for newbies is a short introduction for people who are taking part for the first time. It covers the first basics of rope bondage and in particular the basic safety and consent issues as well as how the QUEERING BONDAGE JAM in particular is designed and who it is intended for.

FURTHER INFORMATION
ENTRANCE
Admission to the WINTA BONDAGE JAM and the QUEERING BONDAGE JAM is restricted to certain admission times. The doors are only open at the times stated above. After entering sihl13, please take off your shoes and walk through the studio to the changing room with all your belongings. You should then only take those items into the studio that you really need to tie up.
DRESS CODE
Rope bondage is bodywork with close body contact and at a bondage jam the atmosphere is a very important aspect. Already for hygienic reasons, but also for aesthetic considerations, we ask you not to participate in street clothes. We recommend at least yoga-style clothing, but even better: it can also be more fanciful, maybe fantastic or weird weird or in your own particular way comfortable – there are no further restrictions to your well-being and creativity. It's also nice to feel the ropes on your skin, therefore clothing is generally optional.
MATERIAL
Please bring all the materials you need for tying yourself - ropes, safety scissors / cutter, carabiner, ring. There are always one or two hanging bamboo poles on site. We also have a few practice ropes for newbies. In principle, however, everyone should have their own equipment.
GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE EVENT
The aims of our events are to learn together as a group and support shared 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. This means that there will be both the same 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 or membership of often marginalized groups such as BBIPoC, migrants, refugees, LGBTQIA*, disabled people, etc. are not criteria when registering and selecting participants. This means that, in principle, everyone is equally welcome and we endeavor to do justice to the respective constellation and different needs, but our resources are limited. If you have any questions in this regard, please contact us.
We expect you to be careful, communicative, consent-oriented and mindful, and we encourage you to respect your own boundaries and self-responsibility.
Hate speech will not be tolerated. Please bring "candy speech".
We reserve the right to ask participants to leave the workshop should their behavior be hurtful or too problematic, and we reserve the right to do so without explanation - although we will likely try to explain. Workshop fees would then be refunded in full. Further claims are then excluded.
