every last Saturday of the month (*)


Whether newbie, rookie or professional - everyone is welcome


Our ZENDO - rope bondage meeting takes place on the last Saturday of the month on average and is open to all enthusiasts who practice or want to learn about any kind of rope bondage (Shibari, Kinbaku, Western-Style etc.).
EVERYONE - with enthusiasm, interest and/or passion for rope - is welcome!
We want everyone to feel comfortable and safe with us, and for this place to create a space where one can discover oneself. (*)

It is important to us that beginners and newcomers in particular do not feel excluded, because iThe best way to learn is through practical experience and from experienced riggers, i.e., "rope handlers." If you have any concerns, simply contact us and clarify them beforehand. We've all experienced our "first time" and remember exactly what reservations we had about attending such an event.

Zendo is a Japanese term for "meditation room," which, in a broader sense, refers to a space for practitioners and those who practice there. We understand our Zendo as an open, active, and creative (practice) space that thrives as a place for exchange and shared learning from and with the ropes. Tolerance, mindfulness, and respect form the foundation of this space!

It is our aim that friends and enthusiasts of different rope bondage styles feel accepted and comfortable, regardless of their level of knowledge, intention, gender or body shape - whether individual or couple = We stand for Diversity in Ropes!

Sakura ZENDO offers you a meeting place to exchange ideas in a friendly and family atmosphere, to practice, to let the ropes flow, to be inspired by the bondage of others, and to take new impressions home with you.

.

To accommodate every style of bondage, depending on the number of registrations, you will have five (up to a maximum of 12) different suspension options available on the bamboo and ring, as well as four (up to a maximum of 9) Hashira's and space for all types of floor ties.

.

Our ZENDO, with its inviting ambiance, sound system with fitting background music, and charming decorations, creates a captivating and sensual atmosphere. A comfortable chill-out area invites you to relax, exchange ideas with fellow rope enthusiasts, and forge new connections or even friendships.
Your refreshments will be provided with a small selection of drinks (for a small fee) and a candy/snack bar for an energy boost in between.

Rope Exchange

Prior to the "ZENDO" bondage meet-up, we regularly host an open exchange! Both newcomers and experienced practitioners share information about different techniques, safety aspects, artists, and cultural backgrounds. Together, we share our experiences and knowledge, offer guidance, and discuss various technical approaches.

True to the motto: "There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers," all topics that are on your mind regarding Shibari can be addressed.

.

This exchange is particularly suitable for newcomers, whether active or passive, to engage with the subject matter, often outside the technical aspects. We are also specifically targeting this format at people who take on the passive side and/or want to explore that side.

This format is also suitable, for example, for neurodivergent people who would like to arrive in a smaller group, immerse themselves in the atmosphere and/or make initial contacts.

In the subsequent bondage meeting there is The focus then shifts more towards actively practicing, observing, and being inspired.

We place great importance on ensuring the safety and well-being of all participants during the bondage meet-up. Therefore, it is essential that all participants behave respectfully and considerately towards everyone else, creating a space where everyone feels safe and comfortable. We are committed to being an LGBTQIA and neurodivergence/neurodiversity-friendly, and generally inclusive, space.
