Couples Workshop - From zero to patterns and play with rope

About

This is the workshop for enthusiastic beginners who want to explore Japanese-inspired rope bondage. Right from the beginning, we address both partners who take an active, albeit different, role. After a brief introduction to safety, you will explore different qualities of contact through the rope.

We will introduce a few basic principles and you will learn how to combine them, developing “real” patterns for play with your partner. We will emphasize movement, control, (non-verbal) communication, emotional and physical limits, as well as consent. The goal is for you to be able to create beautiful shared moments in ropes.

This is a practical workshop: you will tie and get tied a lot.

For whom is it?

This workshop is for couples (of all ages and gender constellations) who are (absolute) beginners in Japanese-inspired bondage and want to learn simple principles to engage effectively, aesthetically, and playfully to find intimacy in the rope play together. You can apply the learned patterns directly for your play in private or on a Jam.

Dresscode

For the workshop it is best to wear something light and comfortable. Make sure that you wear clothes that fit. That makes it easier for you to tie.

It is pleasantly warm in our Playroom because of the floor heating. The focus during the workshop is on transferring information and ‘learning’ techniques. Please note, this is not an erotic workshop! The clothes stay on.
