While in the floorwork courses - such as in SHIBARI BASICS - FLOORWORK - we stay on the carpet, in Shibari Basics - Partial Suspension we take off a bit.

In Japanese-inspired bondage art, there is suspension bondage, in which the bound person is pulled up and suspended by ropes from a hook on the ceiling or a beam. What requires a lot of skill and looks spectacular also offers a special sensual experience, which we approach in this course with partial suspensions. We will teach the basic technical knowledge and discover the restrictive, playful and aesthetic potential of this form in different exercises and bondage patterns - bondage play in a new dimension.


The course is also suitable for beginners with the entry on Friday – see SHIBARI BASICS - INTRO DAY. It is also possible to book only Friday as a taster day. If you already know the basics, you can also start on Saturday. And it is possible to attend only Friday & Saturday or only Saturday. Sunday is independent of Saturday but cannot be attended. We recommend the whole package, it's worth diving in completely! On Sunday, participants are still welcome to join the Bondage Jam for free and practice together.

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.

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.
