THE PARLOUR is an experimental format—inspired by free bodywork and play spaces such as bondage jams—dedicated to the diversity of massage forms and the joy of practicing and experiencing them. THE PARLOUR is not really intended for beginners there are no classes there. Rather, we want to welcome more experienced and professional bodyworkers to create a place where we can get to know each other and exchange ideas, give and receive, touch and be touched, experience and experiment away from the contexts of work, training, further education, and workshops, and...

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.

The popularity of bondage with ropes is on the rise in Europe. For many people, bondage seems to be a pleasurable exploration of their own and other people's bodies. Bondage allows access to creative work, expression, play and intense human encounters.

In der Fesselkunst im japanischen Stil gibt es die Hängebondage, bei der die Gefesselten mittels Seilen an einem Haken an der Decke oder an einem Balken emporgezogen und aufgehängt werden. Was viel können verlangt und spektakulär aussieht, bietet auch eine besondere sinnliche Erfahrung, der wir uns in diesem Kurs mit Teilhängungen annähern. Wir vermitteln dazu das technische Basiswissen und entdecken in unterschiedlichen Übungen und Fesselmustern das restriktive, spielerische und ästhetische Potential dieser Form…

The TEMPLES OF SORROW are a series of events for grieving together. All grief is welcome, whether it's heartache, loss of people, pets or beloved plants, upheavals in life, moving house, illness or something else entirely. You can join in at any time. The TEMPLES gently set impulses and some focal points to match the season - on the loss of what we love, on what we wish we were and not ...

Fesselspiele nehmen allzuoft heteronormative Formen an – was auch fein ist, aber wir wollen probieren, wie man erfinderisch auch mal was ganz anderes erleben kann. Queering - als Verb - steht für die Lust an einem ganzen Spektrum an: hinterfragen, erfrischen, sichtbarmachen, spielen, irritieren, feiern, ausprobieren, verflüssigen, ermutigen, erweitern, erfinden, solidarisieren, vermischen, zu sich stehen, aneignen, werden, verwandeln... Bei den QUEER BONDAGE JAMS wollen wir deswegen der Kreativität ganz generell mehr Raum geben, indem wir…

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.

In the first part of this workshop, we will work hands-on in partners! - with haptic explorations of our speaking tool, the mouth. This can be called oral mapping, as it involves feeling, exploring and massaging the entire mouth region, inside and out, without forgetting a single centimeter. The second part leads us to the diverse expressiveness of our mouth. In various playful exercises, we experiment with noises and sounds, with words, sentences and narratives...

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!

Im Mittelpunkt dieses Workshops stehen die Grundlagen des Fesselns mit Seilen im japanischen Stil. Neben Basis- und Improvisationstechniken, klassischen Mustern und den unterschiedlichen Sicherheitsaspekten befassen wir uns auch mit Körperbewusstsein und Haltung, sowie mit der Interaktion und Kommunikation zwischen den Partnern. Dabei entdecken wir, wie Fesselnde und Gefesselte ihre Begegnung vielfältig gestalten können, im vertrauensvollen Spiel mit Macht und Unterwerfung, in empathischer Kommunikation und gegenseitiger Hingabe, in tiefer Verbindung und Intensität. Shibari, bzw. Kinbaku, wie die japanische Seilbondage auch…

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.

In his film "My Film with Andrei, Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Document a Sex Party", photographer, podcaster, author and filmmaker Ayoto Ataraxia portrays a group of young people from a hedonistic, sex-positive movement in Berlin who organize an orgy to celebrate the birthday of their friend Andrei. We don't get to see the orgy in this movie. In conversation with director Ataraxia, we want to talk about new constraints of sexual liberation, about his coexistence with the protagonists, the trust he has gained, the distanced view of his film, as well as about the representability of an orgy and its relevance.
