Introduction to Hashira: Techniques for Tying (in)to Upright Objects
with Ztella & Moir
Tying to a hashira can be restricting like almost no other way of tying; when tied effectively, hashiras offer unparalleled opportunities for intimacy, dominance and eroticism.
Spiritual Mechanism: Butoh Workshop with Stefano Taiuti
with Stefano Taiuti
“The Spiritual Mechanism” is a unique approach to dance and self discovery that integrates western movement analyses focusing on the visible, and Butoh to explore the invisible, the subtle, what is behind the movement and generates it.
Movement & Dance with Rope
with A-Nicolas (formerly Yoroï Nicolas)
Breathe. Shift your balance. Walk, weave, occupy the space—and disappear. Now, do it all with your partner, a rope, and the magic of movement. In this workshop, we’ll transform into an organic system: unpredictable yet beautifully organised, learning to move freely and naturally within the ropes.
Body Handling for Dynamic Floor Play
Body handling as a skill is sometimes overshadowed by rope technique, yet it can be what distinguishes a good session from a great one. The ability to move safely and with confidence is more than just the act of "physically relocating" body parts: It can expand your creative options and allows the expression of intent when tying, as the manner in which a person is moved can evoke a wide range of emotional responses and invite engagement.
Shibari for Beginners - Weekend Intensive (Step 1)
This weekend intensive offers a complete introduction to Japanese-inspired rope bondage in an immersive, hands-on format — perfect for absolute beginners or for returning students wanting to refresh their basics before moving on to more advanced classes.
Build-A-Harness: from Rope Chaos to Functional Form
with Anna Lysee
This hands-on workshop guides you in creating your own chest harness - starting from chaos and evolving into structure. You’ll explore how to work intuitively with tension, wraps, and body mechanics to build stabilizing shapes.
Beyond the Frame: Exploring 3D Suspensions
with Anna Lysee
This workshop invites you to move beyond static suspensions and discover the possibilities of flow and spatial play around the bamboo. A central focus of the workshop lies in exploring how bodies can be placed and tied in relation to the bamboo in a truly three-dimensional way – not simply parallel along its length, but rotated into striking 90° angles that transform both the visual impact and the physical experience of the suspension.
Threading the Unknown: Rope Meets Fear Play
with Anna Lysee
Together with a trusted partner, you will explore the textures of fear in rope. You will learn not only how to induce fear, but how to recognize its signs, how to hold it, and how to channel it into creative, connective play. Here, fear is neither spectacle nor cruelty, but an opportunity to touch something real that is trembling just beneath the surface.
Notation for Educators
This one-day workshop is designed specifically for educators who want to deepen how they teach, structure, and communicate suspension and transitions via a clear graphical notation system developed by Anna Noctuelle.
Elemental Forces: A Framework to Understand and Build Narrative
Elemental Forces: Explore how Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether enhance the structure, mood, and intention of rope scenes on the floor and in the air.
A movement framework to understand and build narrative within rope scenes via rope handling, harnesses and transitions.
Semenawa (Level 1)
With Kirigami & Tenshiko
Approaching traditional semenawa from a practical and theoretical point of view, understanding the iconic patterns of the style, and the philosophy behind them.
Introduction to Hashira: Techniques for Tying (in)to Upright Objects
with Ztella & Moir
Tying to a hashira can be restricting like almost no other way of tying; when tied effectively, hashiras offer unparalleled opportunities for intimacy, dominance and eroticism.
Easy Lifting: Movement and Suspension with Bigger Bodies
with Ztella
Tying with people bigger than ourselves – or getting tied by people smaller who might not be able to move us easily – can feel daunting. This workshop gives you practical tools to tie confidently with significant size or strength differences. While designed for smaller riggers and bigger bottoms, these principles of leverage and body mechanics are useful for anyone who wants to tie more sustainably and efficiently, regardless of your size.
Floating Bamboo
In this one day workshop we will dig into the Hashira experience even without the possibility to tie on a pole. Over the course of this workshop, you will learn how to rig bamboo safely as a vertical suspension point, including the setup of a special, solid hardpoint that allows secure tying onto a moving object.
One Rope Pleasures
In this workshop, we focus on fast and effective ways to restrain your partner using minimal rope. The goal is to create ties that can serve both as a foundation for further development within a rope session and, on their own, as the perfect basis for a wide variety of play
Shibari for Beginners - Weekend Intensive (Step 1)
With Gestalta
This weekend intensive offers a complete introduction to Japanese-inspired rope bondage in an immersive, hands-on format — perfect for absolute beginners or for returning students wanting to refresh their basics before moving on to more advanced classes.
Rope for Sex
with MsFuchs
In this class, we will explore how rope bondage can be used as a tool for sexual interaction, focusing more on its practical rather than aesthetic use. We will use rope to create positions that allow for grinding, fingering, oral and penetrative sex; rope as a tool for exposing, leveraging, positioning, and supporting bodies to enhance pleasure for both bottom and top.
Floor Play Flow: Body Handling, Movement & Intention
with Gestalta
You don’t need complex suspensions or advanced techniques to create powerful, emotionally rich rope scenes. This workshop is all about exploring what’s possible on the ground - with a focus on simplicity, movement, and sensuality.
Hashira from Floor to Air (with Bamboo)
with Soptik & Sansei
In this workshop, we move beyond the floor and into the air. The hashira becomes not only an anchor but a suspension point. We will explore how suspension transforms the dialogue between rope, body, and beam: from resigned stillness to to subtle motion, from a tight embrace to playful exposure. You will learn traditional suspension techniques for the hashira. In some ties, we will integrate the hashira with bamboos, extending the
experience from the vertical into the horizontal space.
Hentai Rope
with Soptik & Sansei
The word hentai can be translated from Japanese as dirty, perverted, or twisted and these are the exact words that can be used to describe the origins of Kinbaku. Nowadays, however, tying is stripped of this perverted or sexual element, and that is certainly a pity. In this workshop we will return to these roots, focusing on revealing, explicit positions, the perverse energy and rawness in our tying, and the actual fetishes that can spice up our session.
Shibari for Beginners - Weekend Intensive (Step 1)

Nocturnes: Kirigami & Tenshiko
Nocturnes: Intimate Shibari Salons at Daruma
with Kirigami & Tenshiko
For this performance, we’ve invited Kirigami & Tenshiko to pull you into a world of things you’re not supposed to see — hentai—kinky, dirty, or perverted—shibari stripped back to its core. A contemporary echo of old-school shibari shows — provocative, erotic, and unapologetically perverse — the kind of intensity that lingers long after the ropes are undone.
Hashira with Kirigami & Tenshiko
with Kirigami & Tenshiko
Hashira is an iconic prop in Japanese bondage pictures and movies. Practitioners all over Europe are fascinated by the old school aesthetics of a body tied to a wooden post. During this workshop we will differentiate the exercises, on the one hand trying to improve riggers’ hard skills, with a special attention to rope and body handling, using technical ties and formal shapes; on the other hand we will also propose ties that can actually be used in elegantly crude ways.
Exposure & Interaction Through Hashira Floor Play (SOLD OUT)
with Kirigami and Tenshiko
The hashira – the iconic wooden post – is one of the most recognizable props in Japanese bondage imagery. In suspension, it is often associated with impressive and dramatic shapes, as seen in old Japanese pictures and movies. But Hashira is not only about spectacle: on the floor, it offers an intimate and versatile space for exploring rope in a different register.
Shame & Humiliation Play
with Saara Rei
Explore what it means to humiliate and be humiliated, to shame and be shamed, reflecting on how these experiences function in our personal and cultural lives, and how they can become tools for play.
On Your Toes: Predicament Play for Sadistic Minds
Predicaments are all about playing with the balance between endurance, threat and impossible decisions. This workshop explores how to create scenes that engage the body and the mind — where every movement comes with a consequence, and the person being tied must constantly choose between effort and surrender.

One Rope Wonders – Small Ties, Big Impact
with Anna Lysee
A laboratory for simple yet powerful single-rope techniques and patterns – perfect as standalone moments or as the finishing touch to your scenes. Together we will explore not only versatile ties and playful patterns that are easy to learn, adaptable and full of character, but also discover how one rope can create rhythm, flow and dynamic connection throughout a session.
Bodies Under Pressure
with Natasha NawaTaNeko & Alexander MA
In this Weekend Intensive, we will take a different look at the philosophy and toolbox of “Semenawa”—the style we tie. Essential, it brings together Alexander's kink—erotic impact play with ropes—with Natasha's research of somatic transformations.
Tying Tengu in Flow: hot play without a TK
with Ztella and Moir
The Tengu is stable, versatile, easy on the shoulders, kind to sensitive nerves – and so cute! But the tying often feels a bit awkward... and why do the hands stay free for so long?
TK Lab
with Gestalta
Unlock the beauty and potential of the Takate Kote, a timeless staple of Japanese-inspired rope bondage.
Movement & Flow
with Burgundy Rose & Spring Tide

Self-Suspension: Fluid Movement & Dynamic Transitions
with Burgundy Rose
This workshop will explore innovative ways you can play with self-tying and self-suspension on a single point to create possibilities for fluid movement and dynamic transitions.
We will focus on getting creative with gravity, and over two full days Burgundy Rose will show you a range of partial-suspension and full-suspension shapes and principles you can play with and adapt according to your unique style.

Understanding Powerful Partials
with Braxas & Nëya
Partials can be more challenging than full suspensions and sometimes offer more versatility. This gives us the options to use both our ropes and also the ground to create different sensations and a variety of emotional responses from our model. The ground can be your friend, but it can also be the enemy.
Building a Session
with Braxas & Nëya
Everyone approaches rope in a different way, some like more playful rope, some enjoy exploring shame and others prefer tormenting rope. Whatever your approach, this workshop will explore different techniques that you can adapt to your individual intention.
How can we communicate that with our partners without talking? This workshop will give you the tools, and the know-how, to build your session from the ground up.

Progressive Floorplay
with hua hua
The floor offers a greater range of possibilities that can arise when not limited by the restrictions of suspension. Playing on the floor allows us to make each rope added, each change of position or even every decision based on the emotions and reactions of both top and bottom. In this sense, floor play allows us to tie from the heart and not only from the head.
