Travelling for workshops
While the majority of my workshops take place in Berlin, I am open to considering limited bookings each year in other locations. If you are a local organiser and would like to arrange a workshop with me in your area, please feel free to contact me for further discussion, rates, and conditions. You have the option to book one of my pre-established workshops, which are listed below. Alternatively, I am more than happy to customize workshops to meet the specific needs, levels, and interests of your group.
Creating an inclusive and respectful environment is of utmost importance to me. I strive to personally reflect these values, and I kindly request that both workshop organizers and attendees maintain an open-minded and aware attitude.
Regular Classes
Gestalta’s Study Group
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.
WEEKLY BEGINNER CLASS
The goal of these classes is to facilitate regular, structured shibari practice, at an affordable price which enables students to attend frequently so they can develop a solid grasp of the basics, build muscle memory, and get to know other participants.
Introduction to SHibari
Take your very first steps in learning Japanese-inspired rope bondage.
This weekend intensive course is thoughtfully designed for absolute beginners, providing a comprehensive and supportive framework for learning shibari that goes beyond the scope of a short drop-in class.
Introduction to Suspension
An immersive weekend workshop designed specifically for those ready to take their first steps into the air.
During this dynamic class, Gestalta will introduce you to the art of shibari suspension, exploring its diverse styles and practical applications. You will develop a deeper understanding of the motivations behind practising suspension and gain insights into the unique perspectives of both tying partners.
TK Lab
Unlock the beauty and potential of the Takate Kote (also known as Gote or Box Tie), a timeless staple of Japanese-inspired rope bondage. The Takate Kote is a complex tie, containing a wide range of valuable principles and techniques that have applications in many other areas of shibari practice.
