Rope Bondage for Newbies!
The Japanese art of bondage is a fascinating physical practice that offers a wide range of physical, mental, and emotional experiences. Shibari shares many similarities with dance, yoga, and meditation, possessing both a performative and a deeply moving aesthetic dimension. The binder and the bound can shape their encounter in many ways—through a trusting interplay of power and submission, empathetic communication and mutual devotion, and deep connection and intensity. An exciting physical art form well worth exploring!
In the Shibari Basics - Intro Day we create an easy and playful introduction for beginners, and offer repetition for people who have already attended a beginners' course and want to refresh their knowledge. The focus is on the basics of tying up with ropes in the Japanese style.
This small workshop is intended as preparation for the Shibari Basics - Floorwork course on the following days. However, anyone who is not yet confident enough to take the long course, who would like to get to know Shibari for the first time and get a taste of it, is of course also very welcome!

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. An example: To include all participants equally, we usually work with random partner combinations during the exercises. This means that both same-sex and opposite-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, etc., are not criteria for registration or participant selection.
We expect you to act with care, communication, consent, and mindfulness, 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 problematic, and we reserve the right to do so without explanation—though we will likely try to explain it. Workshop fees would then be refunded in full. Any further claims are excluded.
We do our best to accommodate different needs, but our resources are limited. Please contact us if you have any questions.

There is role-switching, meaning the exercises are repeated so that all participants experience both tying up and being tied up. Couples who do not wish to switch roles may remain in their assigned roles. Please let us know when registering if this applies to you.
The goals of our events are to learn together as a group and to support both collective processes and personal development. Couples and any other types of partnerships or group dynamics are welcome, but please be aware and open to the fact that the courses are not designed as partnership-focused experiences and that we address each person as an individual. For example: to ensure all participants are included equally, we typically use random partner pairings in the exercises. Thus, both same-gender and mixed-gender combinations are likely to occur. Participants should generally be open to working with anyone and any body. Exceptions can be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
Gender identity, sexual orientation, age, etc., are not criteria in the registration process or the selection of participants.
It is required that you act with care, communication, consent, and caution, and you are encouraged to honor your boundaries and personal responsibilities.
Hate speech will not be tolerated. Please bring kind words.
We reserve the right to ask participants to leave if their behavior is harmful, and we reserve the right to do so without explanation—though we will likely try to explain. Workshop fees will then be fully refunded; further claims are excluded.
