(AN)OTHER ORGY
"A festival with unrestrained debauchery", says the Duden dictionary, "nocturnal Bacchus celebration; sacred act; mystical service; cultic secret meeting at night", says the etymology, "debauchery, revelry, licentiousness; (elevated) excess, excessiveness", says the synonym dictionary, "communal acts in which customs are deliberately violated", says the Wikipedia entry. An orgy! So legendary and yet so simply beautiful, or even quite crude. In any case, our cultural unconscious is full of nebulous ideas about what an orgy can be. Not for nothing is it on the bucket list for many. Wait no longer! Our three-day...
WINTA BONDAGE JAM ZURICH - SHIBARI IM SIHL13 - with Newbie Intro
Rope bondage is for everyone!
However, this hasn't necessarily been the case with our usual bondage jam so far, because things are often quite conventional and heteronormative there - and that definitely doesn't suit everyone.
That's why there is now the WINTA BONDAGE JAM!
WINTA stands for "Female, Inter, Nonbinary, Trans, Agender" and this special jam is primarily about creating a space in which people who identify as WINTA can simply be among themselves. So basically it's quite simple: people who don't see themselves as WINTA should please stay away from the event.

SHIBARI BASICS - FLOORWORK
This workshop focuses on the basics of Japanese-style rope bondage. In addition to basic and improvisation techniques, classic patterns and the various safety aspects, we will also look at body awareness and posture, as well as interaction and communication between the partners. In doing so, we discover how the bound and the bound can shape their encounter in a variety of ways, in trusting play with power and submission, in empathic communication and mutual devotion, in deep connection and intensity. Shibari, or Kinbaku, as Japanese rope bondage is also known...

KINKY LOMI - AN EDGY FUSION
Surrendering into loving hands. Into their warm, soothing touch. Broad flowing strokes over and under your whole body. Like being embraced by the ocean's swirling waves and its silent depths. Feeling grounded. Deeply touched. And then: Smack! The cheeky sensation of a hand spanking a muscle. Its vibrations radiating in your bones. The tingling afterwards. Feeling vitalized. The mind gets carried away by this mingling of sensations. When two worlds meet... Lomi-inspired sensual massage and the world of kinky BDSM at first seem to be full of contrasts. Kink involves consensually inducing pain and...
