HOW Not WHAT
This workshop will look at how we connect with our partners when we tie. The best rope scenes aren’t usually WHAT we tie but HOW we tie it. It is easy when tying to get lost in a pattern or a plan we have in mind and forget to make it engaging for the person...
Mermaid Variations
This technical workshop on the half mermaid tie calls for all merpeople – mermaids, mermen, and merthems – of all sizes and shapes. We will queer up this classic by playing with geometrics, rope placement, and suspension attachments. How do you make it supportive, tie it on a soft body, or make it more masculine?...
A class on sadistic play in rope that isn’t about traditional suffering/ semenawa - more a celebration of the unhinged, mischievous and experimental. Pretty much a session to explore those ideas you wondered about but maybe felt a bit too unsure to try. The things which you weren’t sure if it would work because they...
Crab Variations – Partial
The crab position is an iconic form in shibari. The semi-suspension, which allows one to play both with body openness and balance, is particularly suited to it. Although it is based on a few core principles : an angular structure, forearms often tied to the legs, and a strong body opening. This position can be...

Ground-Level Predicament Shibari
This shibari style is designed for ground-level play, using a minimal amount of rope. It creates predicaments through the body's own positioning, allowing participants to focus more on the playful interaction.
Pretzel Partials 2.0
Did you enjoy the pretzel partials class at Queer Rope Berlin 2025? If so this is the class for you. For those that missed it....This class is aimed at helping you (re) discover the creativity possible with partials. Combining the intimacy of floor work with a little added help from gravity. Symmetry is banned and...
The Cocoon
A cocoon isn’t meant to capture you. It’s meant to give you space to evolve. This session looks on that contradiction: how do we tie someone into a neat, intentional package while still leaving them space — physical, emotional, psychological — to breathe, soften, and feel safe? What makes restraint feel containing rather than confining?...
