SUMMARY:Shibari - Intermediate
DESCRIPTION:In this training\, we take the participants on a journey into the details of Shibari. Floorwork\, suspensions\, movement\, and communication are at the centre in this training series. \nEach month\, we develop the skills via one dedicated rope pattern\, which means that participants will work on the same pattern for a complete month. That helps solidifying the pattern as well as filling your toolboxes for elaborate and diverse rope scenes.

SUMMARY:The more the merrier? Poly and D/s
DESCRIPTION:Many kinksters are also in ethical non-monogamous relationships or have multiple play partners. Many of those are stumbling into these constellations on a trial and error basis and it takes a lot of work and effort to unlearn drilled in behaviours from the world of monogamy. In this class\, we are offering some general suggestions and many little tools to help people navigate poly and kink\, specifically power relationships. We are not telling you how you should do it but rather what problems can arise in certain situations and how to circumvent them or to deal with them head on.\n\n\n\nBring your curiosity\, some note taking material and as many of your partners and crushes as you can. An evening full of laughs\, tears\, and hopefully many aha moments.

SUMMARY:Kink outside the box
DESCRIPTION:Congratulations! You’ve successfully acquired a kink label. Unfortunately\, it may have come with a complimentary box. \nIf you’ve ever caught yourself thinking\, “A real top wouldn’t…” or “I’m a terrible submissive because…”\, this class is for you. Together we’ll examine the expectations we inherit\, question the rules nobody remembers agreeing to\, and try on ways of relating that might surprise us. \nThrough discussion\, reflection\, and playful exercises we’ll explore what happens when we stop trying to be the “perfect” anything and start being ourselves instead.

SUMMARY:Playfighting
DESCRIPTION:Play fighting is a completely different way of engaging with other people. The way we move\, think\, and relate to our environment changes in this type of interaction. This group activity lets participants challenge each other for a play fight. All constellations are welcome.  \n\n\n\nIn a safe environment\, participants can challenge themselves and each other to fight with each other in a playful and joyful way. Not winning but experiencing is the focus of this monthly event. At play fighting\, we will start with an introduction that covers motivation\, safety\, consent\, and expectations. \n\n\n\nAfterwards\, it’s the participants’ space and time to experience play fights themselves.

SUMMARY:Shibari Live Drawing
DESCRIPTION:Shibari Live Drawing differs from usual live drawing sessions in two major ways. For one\, the poses that can be reached with the help of ropes are very different from anything live drawing models could assume on their own\, e.g. suspensions.  \nOn the other hand\, those poses are short living\, which means that artists are not only met with unusual poses but also with less time to catch them.  \nIn two Shibari performances by different Shibari practitioners from the community\, the participants will meet different body types every time.  \nAll levels welcome\, all media welcome (photography is dependent on the performer’s individual wishes and only as long as it does not disturb the other participants).  \n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Rituals In Kink - Moments That Matter
DESCRIPTION:Humans are weird little creatures. We light candles\, wear lucky socks\, always make tea in the same mug\, and somehow convince ourselves that putting our boots on in just the right order makes us feel more powerful. \nTurns out… we might be onto something.\nRitual isn’t about being mystical (unless that’s your thing). It’s about creating meaning\, marking transitions\, and telling our brains\, “Hey\, this moment matters.” \nIn this class we’ll explore why rituals show up in kink\, what they can do for our scenes and relationships\, and how to create rituals that actually feel like you\, whether that’s a carefully choreographed power exchange or just taking three deep breaths before asking\, “So… what are we doing today?” \nCome curious. Leave with a few new ideas and probably at least one oddly specific habit.

This event is for you. \nWe’ll start with a series of playful games and activities designed to help you get a feel for potential partners without the awkwardness of standing around and finally working up the courage to say\, “So… do you like rope?” \nYou’ll find yourself answering questions at speed\, participating in rope-pulling\, collaborating on tying a pillow\, and discovering what happens when the person who usually ties is blindfolded.

SUMMARY:Tip Top Shape: Topping Skills
DESCRIPTION:There are classes on all sorts of “hard skills” when it comes to topping: how to throw a flogger\, how to tie a certain harness\, how to make people bend to your will. This class is about the experience of topping. How does one become good as a Top\, generally? Just like bottoming\, topping is a skill that can be developed. \nThis class is for aspiring Tops\, Dominants\, and any D-type who wants to better their skills in the art of being in charge. We will discuss cultivating attentiveness\, creative problem solving\, as well as how to assume risks in order to get what you want. We will also cover playing within your area of expertise – and how to successfully push outside of your comfort zone (and hopefully of the person bottoming).
