SUMMARY:Knot Speed Dating
DESCRIPTION:Looking for someone to tie with? Someone to play with? 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. And that’s just the beginning. \nCome meet people\, play a little\, experiment a lot\, and see who you click with. No pressure to find the one\, just plenty of opportunities to find someone you’d like to tie\, play\, or maybe just have a really good conversation with. \nCome solo\, leave with possibilities

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.

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: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: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 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: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 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:Bare hands - Impact without toys
DESCRIPTION:We all are already equipped with some pretty amazing impact tools: Our bodies with all its softer and harder\, lighter and heavier parts. In this class we invite the participants to experiment with their own ‘factory-installed’ impact toys. Under the guidance of Addie\, who is mainly practicing impact play with their own body\, we will explore fundamental aspects like which body parts can be used for stingy and which for thuddy hits\, physical and emotional safety\, the use of body weight behind impact\, soft and hard surfaces\, as well as more creative ways to use our bodies for impact play. \nThis class is a great opportunity to try out these techniques. Solo participants are welcome\, and we encourage you to pair up with others or join an existing group. However\, please note that active practice for solo participants cannot be guaranteed.

SUMMARY:Fantasy Toys: Everything you wanted to know
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, Dax is showing us everything we always wanted to know about fantasy sex toys: how they are made\, what stiffness means for different makers\, how to care for them\, and what they might be able to signify for people who don’t want just a cheap (and still overpriced) copy of yet another penis. \nAfter a presentation and discussion\, participants are invited to check out Dax’s impressive collection of toys with useful infos about ethical (or non-ethical) producers\, prices\, and how to spot errors.

SUMMARY:F*** this! A guided dissociation with ropes
DESCRIPTION:While a lot of thought and energy and practice and so on and so forth can be put into tying\, we are also all facing challenges in our everyday lives that are less and less bearable. Ropes can also be used to forget about all that shit out there\, all the fascism\, the economy\, the obliteration of human rights\, the climate\, and everything else that is bleak. It’s not a failure to just want to stop for just a moment.  \nIn this guided dissociation\, we will be building a palace in our minds and with our ropes. We will meander through gardens and participate in lustful banquets\, we will fly over landscapes and meet with creatures who we might want to engage with or just watch from a distance. \nIn this journey\, narrated and guided by Barkas\, participants are invited to turn their brains off for a couple hours\, take a rope and either on themselves or with someone else\, just escape into a fantastic world.  \nDisclaimer: We acknowledge that dissociation can amount to a condition that causes sever pressure and suffering for individuals. This experience is NOT a mockery or a belittling of the mental health conditions associated with dissociation. We ask participants to listen to their own needs and boundaries and provide mental health first aid as well as a quiet area to retreat.

SUMMARY:CNC
DESCRIPTION:Many of us are familiar with the concept of consensual nonconsent (CNC): a scenario where the folks involved agree to play that may appear nonconsensual. This can look like anything from using a safeword so “no” doesn’t mean “stop\,” to roleplaying being made to do things you “don’t want\,” to scenes with enacted violence like forced entry or kidnapping. \nWith such a wide range of things that can fall under CNC\, individual approaches may vary wildly. In this class we will discuss how to negotiate for CNC and create the container for play. We will also cover what it can look like to push boundaries on purpose\, and how that can feel as either a top or a bottom\, as well as risk mitigation and managing self image as folks oriented towards this kind of play.

SUMMARY:Einstein\, Newton\, and Archimedes walk in to a dungeon
DESCRIPTION:Physics is in all of our play\, whether we know it or not and whether we understand it or not. From the forces involved in rope suspensions\, to the difference of elastic and inelastic collision in impact play\, from the torque of a fucking machine\, to the thermodynamics of body fluids: why not use these principles to our advantage? Can we use them to enhance our experiences? Of course we can! \nIn this class we won’t solve equations (unless you are into it). But we will cover \n\nNewton’s laws (I\, II\, & III)\nArchimedes’ principle of leverage\nFriction and pressure\nA bit of fluid dynamics (Bernoulli)\nA bit of thermodynamics\n\nas applied to the most common kinky activities with a focus on rope bondage. \nThis class is hybrid\, that means\, we will have tickets for in-house participants as well as virtual participants. All participants get access to the recording of the class for 14 days after the class. \nFor any questions\, please feel free to reach out to us.

SUMMARY:Take my breath away
DESCRIPTION:Breathing is overrated. And breathing is underrated. Playing with the breath of your partner can be absolutely mind-blowing and titillating. In this class we make sure that a) you do it with the necessary safety precautions and b) have fun with it. \nThere are definitely too many myths and semi-true infos about breath play out there and getting the education about it from a professional ultimately makes it better. \nWe will be bringing\, amongst other things\, dental floss\, gas masks and a chess set\, gloves (black latex and leather)\, one of those cheap plastic shower caps from a hotel bathroom…. straight jacket masks\, a cattle prod\, a stick of some kind\, and a mouth spreader. Also a clean handkerchief and maybe a pocket cpr mask.
