WINTA BONDAGE JAM ZURICH – SHIBARI AT SIHL13 – 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.

TOO HOT TO HANDLE – Luhmen d’Arc at the Touch & Play Festival in Germany
Stranded on a lonely island, a group of horny people are forbidden from making out and thus gain insight into the intriguing workings of desire. Not only do they miraculously become even more aroused, but they are also confronted with their subconscious patterns. Inspired by the infamous Netflix show of the same title, this intensive workshop will thoughtfully, playfully, and with a touch of nerdiness explore its arousing balancing acts between: a) teasing with denied fulfillment, b) doing what one shouldn’t be doing, and c) overcoming what was previously ambiguous.
QUEER BONDAGE JAM ZURICH – with a Newbie Intro
Bondage play all too often takes on heteronormative forms—which is fine, but we want to explore how we can get creative and experience something completely different for a change. “Queering”—as a verb—represents the joy of a whole spectrum of activities: questioning, refreshing, making visible, playing, unsettling, celebrating, experimenting, fluidifying, encouraging, expanding, inventing, showing solidarity, blending, being true to oneself, appropriating, becoming, transforming... At the QUEER BONDAGE JAMS, we therefore want to give creativity more space in general by…

FILIPPA FRICK: HAPTOLOGY - EXPLORATIONS OF TOUCH, INTENTION & INNER ATTITUDE
Do you feel me, sense me...? – The tactile and haptic sensibility of our bodies keeps us in a tangible connection—throughout our lives and without interruption—with our surroundings—and with ourselves. Touch is essential, vital, and fundamental to who we are and what we are, and to how we engage with the world and the other beings in 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.

"BODYWORK & BODYTHERAPY" - 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 the Bondage Jams—dedicated to the diversity of massage styles and the joy of practicing and experiencing them.

TANTRA – WITH A PINCH OF SALT – RETREAT IN SPAIN
What we in the modern West call “tantric massage” deserves to be dusted off and decluttered so it can shine with renewed brilliance. Because we want those luxuriously long, deep, sensual, oily, warm caresses and the orgasmic sensations throughout the entire body—without the simplistic talk about male and female “energies.” We want to bathe in radically tender joy, to be touched with full presence within a held space…
