Whilst neck rope is never safe, there is a lot that can be done to make it safer.

This workshop has a heavy emphasis on safety, but we will also show you different ways that you can integrate a neck rope into your sessions, and which risks you should consider for each of them.

This class will have a focus on the playful and interactive rather than the technical aspects of rope bondage While rope technique is important, only a very limited amount of it is required before being able to play, build a scene, and connect with your partner.

The theme of this study group session will be tying with bamboo.

This study group delves into the complexities and creative possibilities of rope bondage through Ztella's detailed, structured approach to shibari. The classes emphasise the mechanics and logic behind ties while creating space for personal expression and connection.

Beyond knots and patterns, shibari can be an intimate dance between bodies, a conversation without words, a co-authored story. 
In this beginner-friendly drop-in workshop, Ena and Kasia will guide you through the foundations of shibari with a focus on connection, presence, and sensuality. In this workshop, you’ll learn basic technical skills and how to apply them in a way that allows you to communicate through rope and create an immersive experience for yourself and your partner. 

Towards Suspension (Step 3): Uplines, Partials and Crafting a Rope Session is a 6-week shibari course designed for those who are ready to start learning (partial-)suspensions. This closed-group format fosters a supportive learning environment, allowing you to build connections with peers at a similar skill level.

Our 6 week courses for shibari beginners run every Tuesday from our studio in Neukölln, Berlin. Both levels are taught in English by one of our regular in-house teachers.

The goal of these classes is to facilitate regular, structured shibari practice, that aims to go deep rather than broad, helping you to develop a really firm grasp of rope bondage basics, build muscle memory, and get to know other participants.

This study group is an opportunity to delve into the intricacies of Gestalta’s personal rope style; their techniques, thought processes and aesthetics, and receive feedback and coaching on both the minute details and overarching principles of shibari from a practitioner with more than 16 years of extensive experience on both sides of the rope.

In this workshop I will share my perspective of creating performances and my experience bringing Shibari to the stage.  The workshop will begin with a presentation and discussion looking at my approach to performance and how this can influence our Shibari practice overall, so that we can face our partners with creativity and presence each tie.

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.

A unique element of playing with ropes is being responsible for another person's body. Having the skillset to smoothly move someone else not only saves you a lot of unnecessarily hard work, it also greatly improves the flow in your rope sessions.

In this workshop we will look at different techniques to move (and be moved by) someone else into different positions.

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.

Domination isn’t about sheer size or strength—it’s about presence, control, and the ability to command attention with intention. In this workshop, designed especially for those who (wish to) both tie and dominate partners who are bigger than themselves, we will explore ways to assert dominance with grace and confidence.

Traditional semenawa is nowadays very linked with the TK harness. Among the traditional harnesses, it is probably the most practical for semenawa suspension sessions. However, if we open ourselves to the possibilities of floor based predicaments and partial suspensions, we actually see many other options were popular in the early stages of the development of Japanese bondage.
