QUEER BONDAGE JAM ZÜRICH - with Newbie Intro
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…
THE PARLOUR - AN OPEN MASSAGE EXCHANGE SPACE FOR PROS & PRACTITIONERS
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...

DAVID BLOOM: FREEDOM & FORM - EMBODIED REFLECTIONS ON HIERARCHY & POWER DYNAMICS
Freedom is hard. It demands an active engagement with one’s own desires & boundaries, and taking responsibility for the space one wants to co-create. First, in a political sense - democracy can only survive when citizens engage with it, and anarchist alternatives (in the positive sense of a society based on the understanding that human beings are inherently good) are even more work. Second, as an artist: the freedom to do absolutely anything can be challenging, overwhelming, and/or boring. BDSM and sex-positive Spaces can provide opportunities, to deal with the complexities...

SHIBARI BASICS – PARTIAL SUSPENSION – PART II
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…
SHIBARI BASICS – CHEST HARNESS & SUSPENSION LINES – PREPARATION & REPETITION FOR PARTIAL SUSPENSION II

Takate Kote) und keine Suspension Lines beherrschen. Beides wird in einem…
WINTA BONDAGE JAM ZURICH - SHIBARI IM SIHL13 - with 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
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.

SHIBARI BASICS - FLOORWORK I
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…

TANTRA IN MOTION
Dieser Workshop bringt Bewegung in die klassische Tantramassage. Wir zeigen und üben, wie durch unterschiedliche Bewegungselemente der sinnliche Spannungsbogen entwickelt werden kann. Fordernde Dehnungen und kraftvolle Umarmungen, dynamische Positionswechsel und die gewandte Nutzung der Schwerkraft lassen aus dem Massagegeschehen einen horizontalen Tanz werden. Klare, präsente Führung des gebenden Parts sowie lust- und hingabevolles Geführtwerden des empfangenden Parts sind wesentliche Elemente…

(AN)OTHER INTIMACY - SPACE FOR CONSCIOUS & PLAYFUL ENCOUNTERS
Intimität abseits von festen Mustern und Konventionen ist fantastisch, kreativ und unvorhersehbar – das macht sie so reizvoll, aber auch ziemlich komplex und herausfordernd. In (AN)OTHER INTIMACY wollen wir uns auf dieses Wagnis einlassen! Was gibt es da zu erleben? Wie komme ich auf Ideen? Wie finde ich heraus, was meine tiefen Bedürfnisse, meine Sehnsüchte sind? Und wie setze ich sie in die Tat um? Was will ich definitiv nicht – und wie kommuniziere ich zwischen "Ja!" und "Nein"? Der Workshop möchte den Teilnehmenden eine Vorstellung davon geben, was ein spielerischer & alternativer 'sex-positiver' Raum sein könnte, wie wir ihn gemeinsam…
