Shibari – Kinbaku
The art of binding the body with ropes is a fascinating practice. Shibari or Kinbaku—as rope bondage is called in Japanese—has much in common with dance, yoga, and meditation, and offers a wide range of intense physical, mental, and emotional experiences. Shibari is arguably one of the most diverse practices in the BDSM community and, in its performative and aesthetic dimensions, also one of the most visually appealing. Shibari is increasingly being recognized beyond the erotic scene as a distinct art and performance form in its own right.
The Workshop Series
Die 5 Teile der Reihe SHIBARI BASICS – der INTRO DAY , die Workshops FLOOWORK I & II und PARTIAL SUSPENSION I & II ergänzen einander und es macht durchaus Sinn, sie in dieser Reihenfolge zu besuchen. Das muss aber nicht sein. Man kann – auch als Anfänger:in – gerne auch mit FLOORWORK II oder PARTIAL SUSPENSION I starten, wenn man am vorangehenden Freitag den INTRO DAY besucht. Die anderen Workshops kann man auch dann noch anschließen. Nur bei PARTIAL SUSPENSION II geht das nicht, da sind entweder der Besuch von PARTIAL SUSPENSION I (oder vergleichbare Kenntnisse) oder die Kombination aus Basiswissen durch den Besuch eines INTRO DAYs oder FLOORWORK Kurses und dem PREPARATION & REPETITION FOR PARTIAL SUSPENSION II Kurs notwendige Voraussetzung.
Chest Harness & Suspension Lines
Preparation & Repetition for Partial Suspension II
Dieser Workshop richtet sich an Menschen, die mindestens über die Grundkenntnisse aus dem INTRO DAY verfügen oder bereits einen FLOORWORK-Kurs besucht haben, die aber noch keinen für (Partial-)Suspensions geeigneten Oberkörperharness (z.B. Takate Kote) und keine Suspension Lines beherrschen. Beides wird in einem Crash-Kurs vermittelt, um für den Workshop am Folgetag gewappnet zu sein. Herzlich willkommen ist freilich auch, wer seine Kennnisse aus dem Workshop PARTIAL SUSPENSION I nochmals auffrischen oder schlicht einen Oberkörperharness und den Umgang mit Suspension Lines lernen möchte.

FURTHER INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE EVENT
Singles, couples, and all other types of relationships are welcome to sign up.
We’ll be switching roles—that is, the exercises will be repeated so that all participants get to experience both tying and being tied up. Couples who do not wish to switch roles may remain in their assigned roles. Please let us know when you register if this applies to you.
The goals of our events are collaborative learning within the group, supporting shared processes, and personal development. Couples and all other types of partnerships or arrangements 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: To involve all participants equally, we usually work with randomly assigned partner combinations during the exercises. This means there will be both same-sex and opposite-sex pairings. 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 act with care, be communicative, prioritize consent, and be mindful, and we encourage you to respect your own boundaries and take personal responsibility.
Hate speech will not be tolerated. Please bring “Candy Speech” with you.
We reserve the right to ask participants to leave the workshop if their behavior is harmful or overly problematic, and we reserve the right to do so without explanation—though we will likely try to explain it. The workshop fees would then be refunded in full. Any further claims are excluded.
