@ PORNY DAYS ZURICH - NATHALIE DREIER: I AM WE - PHOTOGRAPHING THE COLLECTIVE BODY
This workshop combines elements of ritual performance with playful creativity in front of the camera. In a non-sexual but deeply connected way, we interact with each other and use our bodies and collective energy to create forms and compositions that go beyond the individual.
@ PORNY DAYS ZURICH - READING & WORKSHOP: BEATE ABSALON - NOT GIVING A FUCK
A benevolent discussion group to talk about discomfort, to ask difficult and seemingly forbidden questions, to breathe a sigh of relief because you are not alone and are not simply broken, uptight or otherwise wrong. It will go beautifully wrong.

SHIBARI BASICS PARTIAL SUSPENSION: FIRST STEPS UP
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 - INTRO DAY
Rope bondage for newbies. On this day we create an easy and playful introduction for beginners and offer a refresher for people who have already attended a beginner's course and want to refresh their knowledge. The focus is on the basics of bondage with Japanese-style ropes.
A WAX PLAY CEREMONY
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…
WINTA BONDAGE JAM ZURICH - SHIBARI IM SIHL 13 - 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.
ON FLOGGING & OTHER IMPACT PLAY
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 …

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.
(AN)OTHER ORGY
"A festival with unrestrained debauchery", says the Duden, "nocturnal Bacchus celebration; sacred act; mystical service; cultic secret meeting at night", says the etymology, "debauchery, revelry, licentiousness; (elevated) excess, excessiveness", says the synonym dictionary, "communal acts that deliberately violate morals", says the Wikipedia entry. An orgy! So legendary and yet so simply beautiful, or also quite crude. In any case, our cultural unconscious is full of nebulous ideas about what an orgy can be. Not for nothing is it on the bucket list for many. Wait no longer! Our three-day...
