learn from fundamentals to advanced - for tops and bottoms
ROPE CLASSES
Beginner class every Wednesday.
Our weekly beginner course by Marcos offer the basic principles of shibari in a friendly and down to earth environment come and take your first steps with us!
Each class we will practice a few skills and learn how to put these into play, so bring your curiosity and enthusiasm along. This is a self tie and switching based class, so feel free to come solo or with a partner
There are 4 different beginner classes to mix and learn the fundamentals. No special order needed.
(Rope) Bottoming beginners
We firmly believe that bottoming is more then passively throwing yourself in a situation and simply sustaining it. Instead, we see bottoming for rope as combining many different skills and tools: from breathing techniques to mental stamina, body awareness, communication and more. These teachable skills can make all the difference in your bottoming experience and so we decided to create a space dedicated to learning and practicing these
This is a switching and self tying based class, meaning we welcome solo as well as couples. In each class expect a discussion of the weekly topic followed by demo and teaching of related skills and tools, after which there will be time to practice and see how these tools can be used in play. Feel free to repeat the topics that interest you as often as you like, as the content will change based on participants experience and individual challenges.
This is a bi-monthly class on Tuesdays
Floorwork for beginners
This class, suitable for beginners who have some knowledge of basic knots and harness, and who want to develop ability for passionate and intense play without suspension.
In this class Marcos will teach and demo various shaped that have a strong sensation impact without needing any suspension lines.

Self tying meditation
This immersive experience offers a unique blend of slow-evolving guided meditation and self-tying. Each participant will be gently guided through the process of self-tying, allowing for deep introspection and connection with oneself. As the meditation unfolds, participants will delve into a state of relaxation and mindfulness, supported by the rhythmic flow of tying.
Minimalism to Maximalism by Mrghy (NY)
An exploration of sensation, immobility, pressure, and duration for both the person tying and the person being tied.
Born as a class for beginner tiers, this quickly turned into a journey open to folks at all experience levels with a strong emphasis on bottoming skills, with a desire to explore improvisational shape-making and durational elements in floor play This class aims at practicing simple skills for high affect, with the intention of creating different sensory landscapes for the person receiving rope, and different embodied qualities for the person tying. We will discuss basic safety considerations to frame preferences and desires. A couple of simple technical exercises will open a longer exploratory tie, followed by some time to discuss the experience together.
Prerequisites: for people tying, forward and reverse tensions, any lock off, and any single column tie. For people being tied, a strong ability to recognize their limits and communicate them.
Materials: 8 ropes minimum, one blindfold.
The workshop will be 12 August at 19h

Eco Date Night / Ropes and Sensation play with organic materials
By Marcos and Vinzenz
Come with your partner to explore sensations (scents, scratches, slaps, textures) in combination with simple but effective rope play. Guided with care, you’ll explore trust, connection, and the power of presence with your partner.
We will play, we will guide, we will teach and demonstrate. This event will be a balance between roughness and softness. We'll explore how to be tender with rough materials, and how to play harder with the fluffiest flowers.
Ropes will be the excuse to stay still on the floor. This will also be an endurance challenge. Besides positions, ropes, and play will not be technically hard, time will play an important factor in this game.
Please if you don’t have any rope experience, please come at least to one Wednesday beginners class beforehand. Switching is possible between the exercises.
This is a partnered class!
What to expect:
Floorplay, effective and quick capture ties.
Marks (rope and impact)
Partial nudity is optional
What to bring:
3 / 4 Ropes (communal ropes are not available because of the nature of the workshop, if you need ropes you can buy some from us!)

A wide range of organic materials to play with (you can take some home afterwards!)

EMBODIMENT
Slap Me Soft
A Somatic Exploration of Face Slapping as Relational Touch
Impact play - hitting and being hit - is not often associated with softness or care. And yet, that’s exactly what we’ll be seeking in this workshop. This is not about dominance or performance, but about inhabiting the paradox: how can something that looks like violence become an embodied gesture of tenderness, trust, and attunment?
Together, we will take our time to explore what it might mean to offer and receive a slap as an act of care: as anchored not in force, but in presence.
This is a slow and somatic class, inspired by the Feldenkrais method and nervous system-informed practices. We will move gently between activation and regulation, beginning with a solo warm-up to explore the physical sensations of impact without contact. You’ll get curious about how your body responds to hitting: where it holds, where it softens, where it resists.
From there, we’ll begin building a connection. Gradually and consensually, we’ll invite in relational touch: presence before contact, contact before impact. We’ll be cultivating the groundwork that makes it possible to approach face slapping not as a goal to achieve, but as a subtle practice that can emerge from safety, clarity, and mutual responsiveness. Actual face slaps will happen only at the end of the session, and always softly, if at all.
Throughout the workshop, you’ll be invited to:
Stay present with your body’s sensations and rhythms,
explore boundaries in a way that centers curiosity, not pressure,
Say yes, no, maybe, or change your mind at any point,
notice and welcome shame, resistance, and pleasure as they arise,
Reflect and integrate your experience through guided verbal processing.
This space is intentionally non-performative and not outcome-driven. It’s about pausing inside the paradox and listening to what unfolds when we don’t rush past discomfort, desire, or ambiguity. It’s about giving the body time to feel what it feels, without needing to justify it.
This class is best suited for those curious about embodiment, somatics, and slowness. You don’t need experience with impact play or BDSM. You are welcome to come solo or with a partner/friend. We will do our best to match participants for partnered exercises, and some trio formats may be used. A teaching assistant will be present to help support the room.
After the session, you’re welcome to stay and wind down in the space; this is not required, but often a nice way to land together.

Curious to break out of the norms of hookup culture and meet other GBTQ men+ with greater intimacy, authenticity, and depth? Tantra is a powerful portal to connect our sexual energy with our hearts, to discover new ways of touching and being touched, and open to profound experiences of connection and love. This introduction will help you connect with your body, shed shame and inhibitions, and discover a deep sense of self-love and acceptance.

- New ways of giving touch and creating different and pleasurable sensations on the body

- Honoring the sacredness of the body and each person’s innate dignity
- Learn how pleasure can be deeply connective and healing
- Practice asking for what you want, becoming more intimate with your own desire, and more skillful at communicating your boundaries and limits

- You want to more fully love and accept your body

- You want connections with more depth and meaning
- You want to move beyond transactional sex and bring your authentic self
What if there’s someone there I don’t want to touch (or be touched by)?
This workshop prioritises consent. You'll never be obliged to touch or be touched by anyone. We begin the event with exercises that empower you to say "no" both verbally and non-verbally.
While we encourage exploring beyond your usual preferences, it's entirely your choice, and you never have to connect with or touch anyone.
