TANTRA IN MOTION
This workshop brings movement into the classic tantric massage. We show and practise how the sensual arc of tension can be developed through different elements of movement. Challenging stretches and powerful embraces, dynamic changes of position and the skillful use of gravity turn the massage into a horizontal dance. Clear, present guidance of the giving part as well as pleasure and devotion of the receiving part are essential elements...

(AN)OTHER INTIMACY - POWER OF PLAY
Intimacy outside of fixed patterns and conventions is fantastic, creative and unpredictable - that's what makes it so appealing, but also quite complex and challenging. In the (AN)OTHER INTIMACY workshops we want to embark on this venture! In the POWER OF PLAY course, we raise the standards and intensity a little and focus on play as a method and form of intimate and intensive encounter. The interest: How do interactions change when we consciously shape them through play? What can we learn about ourselves through play? What happens when we set aside fixed goals, our self-criticism and our expectations of ourselves and focus on presence, spontaneity and pleasure? As researchers together, we make...

QUEERING BONDAGE JAM ZURICH - KEEP IT! - BINDING WITH STONES - with Newbie Intro
All too often, bondage games take on heteronormative forms - which is fine, but we want to try out inventive ways of experiencing something completely different. Queering - as a verb - stands for the desire for a whole spectrum of: questioning, refreshing, making visible, playing, irritating, celebrating, trying out, liquefying, encouraging, expanding, inventing, solidarizing, mixing, standing by oneself, appropriating, becoming, transforming...
(AN)OTHER ORGY
"A festival with unrestrained debauchery", says the Duden dictionary, "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 in which customs are deliberately violated", says the Wikipedia entry. An orgy! So legendary and yet so simply beautiful, or even 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...

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.
