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: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:Cute\, Cuddly\, Controversial
DESCRIPTION:Some kinks are shrouded in a great deal of misunderstanding\, leading to stigma and shame for those who feel drawn to them. While Ageplay dynamics are sometimes associated with problematic subjects in some peoples’ minds\, the reality is that this kind of role play can be deeply comforting\, endearingly silly\, and very sexy. \nThis course will explore the various roles and dynamics nestled under the umbrella of ageplay—including bratting\, Caregiver/little dynamics like DDlg\, and ABDL— while seeking to unpack and dispel some common points of confusion about this surprisingly common type of play.

SUMMARY:Shibari - Intro to suspensions
DESCRIPTION:You’ve taken the Intro classes\, you know your single column from your double\, and you’re ready for more. Intro to suspensions builds the foundations for a wide variety of skills beyond the basics. \nIn these sessions\, we slow things down and build the skills to help you become confident\, capable rope players. You’ll refine your techniques\, explore simple patterns with more intention\, and start working with connection\, communication. We offer a mix of hands-on guidance\, practical exercises\, and space to ask the questions that don’t quite fit into an intro class. \nPerfect for anyone who wants to solidify their fundamentals\, deepen their understanding\, and feel ready to step into our full range of rope offerings. \nCome build confidence\, control\, and creativity — one knot at a time.

SUMMARY:Nature vs Nurture: The promise of identity in kink
DESCRIPTION:What is identity? What is a kink identity? Who am I and if yes\, why? What are we doing when we identify as? These and more questions are far more important for our daily experience with kink\, intimacy\, relationships\, and sexualities than we might think. \nIn this workshop we are taking a path to a different understanding of identity by deconstructing the terms involved. The promise of identity becomes a model of ourselves as malleable and we can thus create an identity of ourselves that we feel comfortable with. \nContent. \n\ndifferent identities\nEntrance rituals\nCategorization and the crisis of identity\nShame\nWays out of the crisis of identity.\nCreating our own identity.

SUMMARY:The floor is open - A kinky dance class
DESCRIPTION:If you are used to getting your feet tied up in knots on the dance floor\, we are offering a class to learn some versatile basics of partner dancing! We’ll be bringing all kinds of music out to rope folks in and play with connection through rhythm and laughter. We’re not ordering you to do any special steps or dances\, it is just a relaxed mood and exploratory play as you negotiate with your partner with some gentle touch and groovy sway. The Felwinters have been dancing the blues in Vancouver for about a decade and are jazzed to share and connect with the community through touch and song. \nThe class portion of the event goes from 3 PM till 5 PM and the social gathering directly afterwards goes till 9 PM. Tickets for the class include the social event. You can also just get your social event ticket and arrive at 5 PM to dance and enjoy the evening together in a safe(r) space.

SUMMARY:The care they deserve: rope making and maintenance gathering
DESCRIPTION:Our ropes are doing a lot. They hold tight\, get bent in all directions\, get tied in knots and frictions. They are exposed to sweat and tears and other things while making sure that nobody drops. So\, let’s give them the bit of love and care they deserve. \nThe evening is there for people to sit together and chat about what our ropes have already seen. Let’s give them the warmth of a flame and the coolness of jojoba oil. Let’s get the uneven tensions of individual fibres back in place and even out the ends. \nWith tips and tricks from our rope maintenance expert Daremo and materials needed to care for our tools\, we will spend the evening together to give our ropes the love they deserve and extend their lifespan. \nAnd for the crafty folks: We will be making some ropes. Bring jute twine if you would like to have your own rope.

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: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: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:Head and Shoulders\, Knees and ... Ropes
DESCRIPTION:Rope bondage moves the mind and the heart but also\, and most obviously\, the body. There are poses\, dynamics\, forces\, and movements possible that wouldn’t occur in everyday life and this bears risks for both the person in ropes and the person tying. \nThis class\, led by Dr. Marina Liarsky\, offers ways for both sides on the ropes to prepare for the most common practices\, avoid the most common injuries\, as well as possible approaches to therapy in case of an injury. \nThe workshop includes a presentation\, demonstrations\, and practice time with a specific focus on injury management and prevention.
