QUEER BONDAGE JAM ZURICH - KEEP IT! - TIES WITH STONES - with Newbie Intro
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 QUEER BONDAGE JAMS, we therefore want to give more space to creativity in general by...

(AN)OTHER INTIMACY - SPACE FOR CONSCIOUS & PLAYFUL ENCOUNTERS
Intimacy away from fixed patterns and conventions is fantastic, creative and unpredictable - that's what makes it so appealing, but also quite complex and challenging. In (AN)OTHER INTIMACY we want to embark on this venture! What is there to experience? How do I come up with ideas? How do I find out what my deep needs and longings are? And how do I put them into practice? What do I definitely not want - and how do I communicate between "Yes!" and "No"? The workshop aims to give participants an idea of what a playful & alternative 'sex-positive' space could be, how we can create it together and how we can...

OUT OF THE BOX - SLOW INTENSITY
In Slow Intensity - the first part of the Out Of The Box workshop series - slowness becomes the guiding concept of our explorations. It leads to fundamental changes in our perception on all levels, both physical and mental. We can then not only scrutinize what we experience in a more differentiated way and grasp it in all its facets and qualities. Rather, slowness itself becomes an instrument of intensification - delay can be so wonderfully pleasurable!
