This workshop—which, when combined with the Intro Day, is suitable for beginners—focuses more intently on the diverse creative and playful possibilities of rope bondage. Ropes on the body and the shapes they create are, in themselves, a unique experience and aesthetically compelling. We want to take it a step further by exploring the creative and emotional potential of power dynamics and sharpening our presence in the creation of playful scenes.
In addition, this floorwork class focuses on the basics of Japanese-style rope bondage. In addition to basic and improvisational techniques, classic patterns, and various safety considerations, we will also explore body awareness and posture, as well as interaction and communication between partners.
In doing so, we discover the many ways in which dominants and submissives can shape their encounters—through a trusting interplay of power and submission, empathetic communication and mutual devotion, and deep connection and intensity.

FURTHER INFORMATION
NOTES ON THE EVENT
Singles, couples, and people in all other types of relationships are welcome to sign up.
We will switch roles, meaning 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 group dynamics 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 random partner combinations during the exercises. This means that both same-sex and mixed-sex combinations will occur. Participants should generally be open to working with every person and every 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."
We reserve the right to ask participants to leave the workshop if their behavior is hurtful or problematic, and we reserve the right to do so without explanation—though we will likely try to explain. Workshop fees would then be refunded in full. Any further claims are excluded.
