SUMMARY:The FAT Lab & Jam
DESCRIPTION:Are you tired of feeling like your body doesn’t fit the narrow imagery of bondage? So are we. This is a rope jam for people who dress in sizes 44 and up. \nBecause we want a space that celebrates the fact that not only can all of us tie and be tied\, but we look gorgeous doing it. And because we want a space where we can help each other and share knowledge specifically about tying fat bodies. In an environment where we are not the exception but the norm. \nCeci Ferox is available during the jam to help and give ideas. They have experience and knowledge in tying fat and heavy bodies both from inside and outside the ropes. \nIf you can buy clothes in normal clothes stores\, please make sure to give extra space for the experiences and voices of those with bigger bodies than yours. \nWho is welcome? \nPeople who dress in sizes 44 or larger because smaller sizes do not fit their bodies. Yes\, you can bring your smaller rope partner with you. No\, you can not come alone if you dress in sizes that are smaller than 44 or only dress in those sizes because you like “baggy” clothes. \nPlease contact us if you have any questions or needs about accessibility! \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  November 7th\, 2023\, 7-10 pm – Doors open between 6.45-7.15 pm\, only \nFormat: Lab and Jam \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ \nLanguage: English \nWhat to Bring:  \n  \nWhat we teach/offer \n– Collective start with an introduction round \n– Lab time where we ask specific questions on tying or being tied and troubleshoot together \n– Fun times practicing and playing \n  \nSafety Concept & Regulation \nPlease consult our safety concept and regulations for this event here. \n  \nAccessibility Note \nThe workshop is held in spoken English.

SUMMARY:Akechi Kanna & Kagura Semenawa and Predicament Masterclass
DESCRIPTION:  \nFor Akechi Kanna aesthetics and patterns are what come after deeply connecting to your partner and giving them sweet consensual torment\, delicious suffering\, and sweet relief. In Kanna’s school of rope / Kanna-ryu every rope\, every placement\, every tension and action should have an intention that the person tying is controlling. \nIn this weekend intensive workshop\, you will learn rope for playing and interacting with your partner in the modes of seme (“torture” rope)\, predicament\, and rope for kink play as well as “supporture” (seme rope with extra care to make it supportive for all bodies and abilities). Kanna and Kagura will show you how to tie and control your sessions in multi-faceted ways depending on your intention. They will also teach you techniques\, tricks\, and ways of thinking about tormenting your partner by managing the placement\, lines\, tension\, timing\, direction\, distribution of the weight\, gravity\, body structure\, and limitations. \nThis workshop supports and encourages your understanding of the structure of the body and your partner’s abilities\, states\, and preferences\, reading the tension and your partner’s face and body language\, predicting what will happen with your ropes and your partner’s physical feelings in them\, as well as putting your own preferences into efficient and meaningful ties. \n  \nIn Kanna & Kagura’s own words: \nWhether it’s the first time to meet you\, or it’s been a while\, or you’ve met us online but never in person\, no matter what level you are\, we really couldn’t wait to enjoy the ropes in the same space with you all! We’ve always been hoping to be committed to providing safe\, respectful\, equitable\, and enjoyable learning environments for queer or gender diverse students while supporting their development and interaction with their partner. So we are super excited to share these with you! \nIf you’ve taken a workshop in the past or an online class\, you’ve learned the basics and you are probably familiar with Kanna-ryu! Some of the content may overlap\, but this series would be instructive for upgrading your skills or polishing off your knowledge!! In-person workshop classes\, we’re offering skills development training workshops [*not professional teacher training workshop]\, with direct instruction such as checking\, correcting\, and suggesting to each person. \nOur education plan puts students focusing on lifelong learning (the long-term benefits for sustainable rope activities) first\, along with exploring a variety of approaches and methods or diverse possibilities\, while prioritizing developing step-by-step skills\, creativity\, knowledge\, and experience\, rather than pushing new patterns practice as many as possible. \nThe content and instruction of the class will be tailored on a case-by-case basis\, based on the level of the class\, the student’s progress and speed\, reflecting the student’s interests and demands\, and/or the partner’s fatigue\, as well as what is needed and what is good to know. In multi-level classes\, the class may have a division in the middle sometimes flexibly depending on the student’s choice: skill practice\, reteach or mini-lesson\, and play with partners. \nPlease don’t compare yourself to other students. There are no rankings\, no comparisons\, or competition between students or schools in Shibari and workshops. Shibari is available for every body of all ages\, genders\, and abilities. Differences that vary from person to person could be valued as individual characteristics\, and grow creativity with special needs. Our doing rope activities Shibari or Kinbaku is interpersonal communication even in group learning. Focus on yourself\, your partner\, your interests\, and your goals! \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  October 28th & 29th\, 2023\, 10 am – 6 pm (lunch break included) \nFormat: hands-on workshop\n \nAudience: LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: Japanese\, and English live translations by Kako \nMinimum Knowledge Level: you must be intermediate to advanced level and comfortably able to tie solid harnesses and suspend your partner.

People that fit this category can be part of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum or not. We created this category specifically to indicate that we also invite cisgender\, heterosexual womên. \nThe word is our own creation and serves as a replacement for the word “womxn” which is now being (ab)used for transmisogynist statements. The ^ in womên represents a marker (similar to the “x” in womxn) that wishes to give emphasis to the fact that womênhood is an intersectional umbrella term that holds many different people and experiences and is not biologically predetermined.

SUMMARY:Semenawa Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Semenawa is a concept in Shibari that is often misunderstood. \nSemenawa is often translated as ‘torture’ rope\, however\, a more accurate term might be to describe it as ‘torment’. The intention is for both the rigger and model to be consciously exploring suffering through rope\, however\, what can make it difficult to grasp is whether or not the suffering should feel pleasurable. Semenawa is often seen as something that must feel painful\, but suffering is not exclusive to pain. \nIn this two-part workshop\, we will be exploring the subtle nuances of creating a tormenting experience without compromising on our limits and safety measures. The focus will be on stirring up the inner torment of the individual experience\, rather than applying pain. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  October 14th-15th\, 2023\, 11 am – 6 pm (1-hour lunch break) \nFormat: in-house workshop \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: These classes are suitable for participants with more advanced experience with Shibari. Students must have experience with suspension\, particularly suspension with a Gote and be fluent with locking off suspension lines. There will be options available to tie on the floor and semi-suspension only. We also ask that attendants come with a familiar partner so that you are prepared with understanding of how to make adjustments suitable for them as well as feel comfortable to discuss more sensitive topics with each other.  No switching allowed. \nWhat to Bring:  minimum of 7 – 8 ropes of 7\,5 – 8 meters in length\, plus some short pieces if you have\, safety equipment\, comfortable clothing (something you would do movement in)\, questions\, and an open mind \nSolo or Partnered:  Partnered\, price is per pair \n  \nDAY 1 (October 14) 11:00-18:00 \nTIMING AND DISCOMFORT \nOn the first day we will focus on exploring what Semenawa means to you personally\, and how can we express this within our own partners and dynamics. We will begin to understand the suffering that can enrich the experience\, and what suffering can lead to a greater risk of harm both mentally and physically. In the afternoon session\, we will go further into dissecting how to explore edge play with mindfulness\, following a loose shibari sequence that can be adapted to your own skill set\, body requirements\, and dynamic. \n  \nPart 1: 11:00-13:30 \nIntroduction: hua hua’s personal approach to Semenawa \nDiscussion: What is Suffering to you? \nPhysical Practice: observing discomfort in your own body \nRope Practice: Sustainable Suffering \n  \nPart 2: 14:30- 18:00 \nDiscussion: Seme vs Torture \nExercise: Exploring limits \nDemonstration and Practice: Building up intensity \nFinal Demonstration and feedback discussion \n  \nDAY 2 (October 15) 11:00-18:00 \nSUFFERING FROM WITHIN \nThe second day is centered around the psychological play in Semenawa. This class is dedicated to space holding for authentic sharing and being vulnerable with each other. We will be doing exercises that focus on how to create an inviting and empathetic experience for bottoms to experience Semenawa. Participants are encouraged to come to class prepared for heavy discussion on their experience of suffering\, as well as any self-care methods if these discussions are triggering. We will then play upon these discussed topics\, giving space to let these buried emotions out in the ropes. The class will end with a final demonstration and feedback session. \nPart 1: 11:00-13:30 \nIntroduction: Focusing Inwards \nDiscussion: Exploring the suffering we carry within our bodies \nExercise: Setting up a ritualistic scene \nRope Practice: Putting weight into the tie \n  \nPart 2: 14:30- 18:00 \nDiscussion: Psychological torment \nExercise: Predicament play \nDiscussion and Practice: Exercising restraint as the rigger \nFinal Demonstration and feedback discussion \n  \nMandatory Covid-19 rules \nIf you would like to inform yourself about other safety measures we have in place\, please consult our Covid-19 measurements here. \n  \nAccessibility Note \nThe workshop is held in spoken English.

SUMMARY:Fundamentals of Akechi Kanna Style Weekend Intensive
DESCRIPTION:  \nFor Akechi Kanna aesthetics and patterns are what comes after deeply connecting to your partner and giving them sweet consensual torment\, delicious suffering\, and sweet relief. In Kanna’s school of rope / Kanna-ryu every rope\, every placement\, every tension\, and action should have an intention that the person tying is controlling. \nIn this weekend intensive workshop\, you will learn the fundamental principles\, the patterns\, and the reasoning and intention behind Kanna’s style of tying. Kanna and Kagura will also suggest and show ways to play with the patterns and demonstrate their application within a session\, as well as show variations\, and explain the underlying theory and historical culture behind them. \n  \nIn Kanna & Kagura’s own words: \nWhether it’s the first time to meet you\, or it’s been a while\, or you’ve met us online but never in person\, no matter what level you are\, we really couldn’t wait to enjoy the ropes in the same space with you all! We’ve always been hoping to be committed to providing safe\, respectful\, equitable\, and enjoyable learning environments for queer or gender diverse students while supporting their development and interaction with their partner. So we are super excited to share these with you! \nIf you’ve taken a workshop in the past or an online class\, you’ve learned the basics and you are probably familiar with Kanna-ryu! Some of the content may overlap\, but this series would be instructive for upgrading your skills or polishing off your knowledge!! In-person workshop classes\, we’re offering skills development training workshops [*not professional teacher training workshop]\, with direct instruction such as checking\, correcting\, and suggesting to each person. \nOur education plan puts students focusing on lifelong learning (the long-term benefits of sustainable rope activities) first\, along with exploring a variety of approaches and methods or diverse possibilities\, while prioritizing developing step-by-step skills\, creativity\, knowledge\, and experience\, rather than pushing new patterns practice as many as possible. \nThe content and instruction of the class will be tailored on a case-by-case basis\, based on the level of the class\, the student’s progress and speed\, reflecting the student’s interests and demands\, and/or the partner’s fatigue\, as well as what is needed and what is good to know. In multi-level classes\, the class may have a division in the middle sometimes flexibly depending on the student’s choice: skill practice\, reteach or mini-lesson\, and play with partners. \nPlease don’t compare yourself to other students. There are no rankings\, no comparisons\, or competition between students or schools in Shibari and workshops. Shibari is available for everybody of all ages\, genders\, and abilities. Differences that vary from person to person could be valued as individual characteristics\, and grow creativity with special needs. Our rope activities Shibari or Kinbaku is interpersonal communication even in group learning.

SUMMARY:Trauma-informed Negotiation
DESCRIPTION:Let’s make space to acknowledge the reality that most (if not all) of us may carry some histories and experiences of trauma in our bodies. When we play with the vulnerability and intimacy of kink and BDSM\, we could come into contact with these realities. How do we take better care of ourselves and one another if this is the case? \nThis 2-part-class will support you to enhance your negotiation skills beyond the basics of what you do and don’t want to do during play. How do you communicate and ask transparently about trauma? How could this show up and what to do if someone becomes triggered? What does safety and care look and feel like for you in a kink context? Let’s take an in-depth exploration into how we can develop our negotiation practice to be more trauma-informed. \nThis 2-part-class is suited for people throughout the kink spectrum\, from top to bottom\, Doms and subs\, riggers and people who like to be tied\, and switches alike – we will look from the perspective of both ‘sides’ of the equation\, what needs to be known\, how to support one another\, and how to create negotiation styles which work for you. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  October 10 & November 7th\, 2023\, 7 pm- 9.30 pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: workshop \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nKnowledge level:  n/a \nWhat to bring:  A journal.
