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:Butts\, anyone?
DESCRIPTION:Butts are great! They come in all shapes and forms and the best thing is\, basically everyone has one which makes it one of the most straight forward gender neutral areas to play with. But that’s not everything – butts are great for all kinds of play and fuckery: Butts can be hit\, they can be caressed\, and you can stick things into them. \nThis is where this class takes off. Taught by a medical professional\, this workshop invites you on a journey of exploring the butt\, be it your own or that of another. We start with safety and hygiene considerations\, go over some theoretical medical facts about nerves and sphincters\, and then go into more in depth ways of having fun with that fantastic part of almost everyone’s body.

SUMMARY:Shibari - Beyond the Basics
DESCRIPTION:You’ve taken the Intro classes\, you know your single column from your double\, and you’re ready for more — but jumping straight into “Ropes: All Levels” can feel like a big leap.\nThis class is designed to meet you right in the middle. \nIn this session\, 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: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: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:Disabled Revolutionaries
DESCRIPTION:The role of disabled people in revolutionary struggle has been largely erased in the public memory. In truth\, disabled people have played an important role in theorizing\, planning\, and enacting revolution across the globe; many of the great figures of history that you are already familiar with lived with significant chronic health conditions that informed their thinking and methods alike. Come and join us to learn about these lost histories\, and the role that disabledness itself plays in shaping revolutionary consciousness and resolve. \nThere will be an open discussion and Q&A after the prepared portion\, in which we will discuss how to adjust our tactics to fit our particular needs\, limitations\, and material conditions. \nBelow is a link to an audio outlining some of the guiding framework for this talk (15 mins)\nhttps://on.soundcloud.com/y2Qz85kFF8T7tCNPg8 \nIn House AND Virtual Event!  \nIf you buy the virtual event ticket\, you will get a zoom link per email 24h before the class starts. Everyone\, in house participants as well as virtual participants will get access to the recording for 14 days after the event. Timezone is Pacific Standard Time.

SUMMARY:Emergent Play - when you can't plan your scene
DESCRIPTION:So much to think about when preparing for a scene. Find a date and a space where you are undisturbed (or very much disturbed)\, negotiate consent\, get all the toys and accessories ready\, and then\, well\, you are in the mood for something completely different. \nIn this workshop\, we are exploring how we can co-create emergent scenes\, that is\, where we don’t know beforehand what will happen or who will be doing what. From personal anecdotes\, fluid storytelling and a healthier handling of expectations to hands-on (or in) tips and tricks. \nClass contents: \n\nWhat are emergent scenes? Advantages and disadvantages\nHow to establish consent when you don’t know what might happen?\nThe pleasure of switching – or not.\nFluid storytelling\nEnding a scene that isn’t planned\nAftercare considerations\n\n

SUMMARY:ethical non-monogamy & D/s - Navigating multiple power relationships
DESCRIPTION:The sum is more than its parts. When it comes to multiple simultaneous power relationships\, things can get overwhelming really quickly. Especially in intersecting communities of queer\, disabled\, and otherwise marginalized and policed bodies\, contexts like economic dependencies\, disabilities\, accessibilities\, and traumata are adding to the complexity. \nIn this class we look at possible pitfalls and tools to navigate aspects like consent\, jealousy\, symbols\, and playing.

SUMMARY:Orientation - For Newcomers to Kink
DESCRIPTION: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. \nWhat to expect\nPart 1 — 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. \nPart 2 —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. \nPart 3 — 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.

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