2026-01-12 18:30 - 21:30
New to kink and don’t know where to start? Interested in going to events but you don’t know how to behave, what to wear, what to do? You are definitely not alone and going to your first kink event can be quite intimidating. This barrier free newcomer orientation helps people who are brand new to take their first steps into the fascinating world of kink.

The first part is a conversation with the participants about the world of kink: Etiquette online and offline, expectations, dress codes at events, possibilities and some recommendations, especially for single folks.

In the second part of this orientation, we go through a few of the most common kinks: bondage, impact, Dominance/submission, fetishes, etc. Participants can see how it feels to hold a flogger or be tied up.

The last part is all about the open questions of the participants. Where to go from here? What to do with this or that fantasy? How to find someone to play with? And many more questions answered.

Playfighting
2026-01-24 18:00 - 21:00
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.

In 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 bi-monthly event. At play fighting, we will start with an introduction that covers motivation, safety, consent, and expectations.

Afterwards, it’s the participants’ space and time to experience play fights themselves.

Intro to Rope Bondage is the first step for people interested in learning to tie with each other.

This time: Ranboo – a stormy, overwhelming style of tying with lots of movement, fun, and surprise.
The emphasis of this course is to accompany the participants on their path into a joyful and safe practice of rope bondage, Shibari/Kinbaku. We go through basic techniques, knots & frictions, safety and consent, movement, communication, and artistic representation. Participants will be able to tie with each other in a joyful and interesting way. We understand each class as directed at both, the person in ropes as well as the person tying.

Curriculum

1st Friday per month: Single & Double column ties. The basic knots

2nd Friday per month: Safety, consent, and pre-scene negotiation

3rd Friday per month: Frictions and Hitches. How to keep the ropes in place.

5th Friday per month: Wild card.

Participants of the intro to rope series have free access to the open jam directly after the class.
