(AN)OTHER INTIMACY - SLOWNESS & INTENSITY
Intimacy that breaks free from fixed patterns and conventions is fantastic, creative, and unpredictable—which is what makes it so appealing, but also quite complex and challenging. In the (AN)OTHER INTIMACY workshops, we want to embark on this adventure! The course ON SLOWNESS & INTENSITY makes slowness the guiding concept of our explorations. It allows us not only to examine what we experience more closely and to grasp it in far more facets and qualities. Rather, slowness itself becomes an instrument of intensification—go sloooooow, baby!

SHIBARI BASICS FLOORWORK: CREATIVITY & PLAY
This workshop—which, when combined with the Intro Day, is suitable for beginners—focuses more intently on the diverse creative and playful possibilities of rope bondage. Ropes on the body and the shapes they create are, in themselves, a unique experience and aesthetically intriguing. We want to take it a step further by exploring the creative and emotional potential of power dynamics and sharpening our presence in the creation of playful scenes.
SHIBARI BASICS INTRODUCTORY DAY
Rope Bondage for Beginners. On this day, we’ll provide an easy and playful introduction for beginners, as well as a refresher for those who have already taken a beginner’s course and want to brush up on their skills. The focus will be on the basics of Japanese-style rope bondage.
WINTA JAM ZURICH – SHIBARI AT SERRAT(U)S – with a Newbie Intro
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.
FILIPPA FRICK: HAPTOLOGY - EXPLORATIONS OF TOUCH, INTENTION & INNER ATTITUDE
Can you feel me? Can you sense me? – The tactile and haptic sensibility of our bodies keeps us in a tangible connection with our surroundings—and with ourselves—throughout our lives and without interruption. Touch is essential, vital, and fundamental to who we are and what we are, and to how we encounter the world and other beings within it. Yet 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, fulfill a formality, or bring about a result.
