Beata Absalon introduces this practice of open-source problem solving invented by the artist Valentina Desideri. The roles of therapist and patient are interchangeable. No solution, no cure is intended. The sessions are for those who do not need or want to be fixed. By playing with the therapeutic set-up, we will rethink the concept of (self-)care. Instead of rashly problematizing problems, we will first look at them curiously, non-judgmentally and benevolently as a potential to unfold unimagined thoughts and images through touch and conversation.

"Nein" zu sagen ist nicht immer einfach - aber notwendig. Ob am Arbeitsplatz oder in privaten Beziehungen. Wer gelernt hat aus (falscher) Höflichkeit meist "Ja" zu sagen wird sich und den anderen früher oder später schaden. Überforderung, Bitterkeit und schlechte Leistung folgen oder man hilft sich mit Scheinlösungen wie Ausreden und 'Ghosting', welche Selbstwert und Verbindungen auf Dauer mehr beschädigen. In diesem Workshop kommen wir in wertfrei-neugieriger Atmosphäre unserem Unbehagen mit dem Verneinen auf die Spur. Wir erfahren wo unsere gesunden Grenzen verlaufen und lernen sie souverän…

Der Workshop bietet eine Einführung in das Flogging und andere Formen des Implact Plays, bei der wir neben Techniken und Fragen der Sicherheit auch die physischen und emotionalen Prozesse von Gebenden und Empfangenden, sowie das Verhältnis von Schmerz und Lust in den Blick nehmen. Wir schärfen unsere Wahrnehmung für die dynamischen Bezüge, die Flogging und Impact Play zwischen Körper und Geist und zwischen den Beteiligten herstellt. Körperbewusstsein und Raumwahrnehmung, Bewegung und Rhythmus, Impuls und Resonanz, Atmung und Präsenz – wir betrachten das Spiel unter vielfältigen Aspekten und schaffen so die Möglichkeit, eine Floggingsession über das bloße Schlagen hinaus als tänzerisches oder meditatives Ritual zu gestalten.

Ruhe und Schwingung, Stille und Klang, Kühle und Hitze… Wir entdecken das Spiel mit Kerzenwachs als eine meditative Erfahrung, im Geben wie im Empfangen. Wir stimmen zunächst Körper und Geist ein, sensibilisieren unsere Wahrnehmung, werden offen und rezeptiv. Schließlich gestalten wir gemeinsam ein Ritual in dem wir uns viel Zeit für diese intensive Erfahrung nehmen – mit viel Ruhe und viel Wachs!

Feel me, feel me...? - The tactile and haptic sensuality of our bodies puts us in a lifelong and uninterrupted tactile connection with what surrounds us - and with ourselves. Touch is essential, vital and fundamental to who we are and what we are, how we encounter the world and other beings in it. But as central as it is to our identity and our coexistence with other people, in our everyday consciousness it usually appears more as a necessity - to achieve a goal, to fulfill a formality, to make a difference.

Rope Bunnies, hat Euch schon einmal ein Seil gefehlt, als ihr unbedingt gefesselt werden wolltet? Rigger, war ein Bunny schon mal so aufmüpfig, dass ihr es beim besten Willen nicht mit dem Seil fesseln konntet? Wart Ihr schon mal im Bus, in der Migros, irgendwo in der Öffentlichkeit und wolltet irgendwie fesseln? Nimm an den ersten 20 Minuten nach dem Einlass zur Jam teil, um das "Fesseln ohne Seil" zu erkunden. Wir experimentieren damit, unsere Körper zu verwenden, um unser Gegenüber zu bewegen und zu fixieren, um nonverbale Signale zu geben, um zu kontrollieren, einzuschränken und süsse, prekäre "Fesselungen" zu kreiren. Nach dieser Einführung ist das Fesseln mit oder ohne Seil willkommen 😉

Rope Bondage is for everyone! However, this has not necessarily been the case with our usual Bondage Jam, because often things are quite conventional and heteronormative - and that does not fit for everyone.Therefore, there is now the WINTA BONDAGE JAM!WINTA stands for "Woman, Inter, Nonbinary, Trans, Agender" and this special Jam is primarily about creating a space where people who identify as WINTA can simply be among themselves. So basically it's very simple: people who don't see themselves as WINTA , please stay away from the event.

If we think of Japanese-inspired rope bondage as a way to interact and move with another person, a way of dancing with them, then we can also look at how sound can affect our way of tying and being tied. How does music affect a session? How does it affect our movements and emotional state? And how do the sounds we make affect the reactions of the person we are tying with? Our movement and emotional state can be deeply affected by sound. I am sure many have experienced music that makes them feel, dance, and act in certain ways depending on the rhythm, tempo, lyrics, tone, and pitch. As well, sound and music can...

Being in rope can be an incredibly intense experience. The array of sensations and emotions that can be felt is limitless and often ever-changing within the experience of being tied. Processing, managing, and allowing these sensations and emotions requires a continuous, real-time evaluation of what we are feeling, and if we can accept the situation we are in or not. We need to be able to relinquish control and at the same time maintain absolute oversight so that we are able to react appropriately and responsibly. This level of balance is no easy task and exactly what we hope to develop a practice for during this...

The Latin root of 'humiliation' is 'humus', which translates as 'earth' or 'dirt'. Humiliation is the public failure of one's status claims. In private, such feeling amount not to humiliation but to painful self-realizations, such as embarrassment. Humiliation is not necessarily shameful. For instance, one could claim that Jesus was crucified and this humiliated, but that he did not feel shame (or so I was told, I was not there). Shame, on the otherhand, is a sort-of subset of humiliation; it is a painful feeling of humiliation or distress caused by the consciousness...
