Bound by rope. Free to connect.
Not every event is a class.
Some evenings grow out of connection,
shared practice, and conversations about Shibari, Kinbaku, and Japanese culture,
curiosity, or simply the joy of experiencing rope together.
Our rope events celebrate exactly this variety: connection within the rope community, fresh inspiration, special experiences, and creative projects.
From open rope meetups and performances to special guest events, there’s plenty to discover at Sakura Rope.
Community: Connection & Exchange

Before the "ZENDO" Rope Social
we regularly invite you to join us for an open discussion!
Beginners and experienced practitioners alike discuss different techniques, safety, artists and
the cultural context.
We share our experiences and knowledge, offer guidance and discuss different technical approaches.
.
In keeping with the motto:
"There are no stupid questions,
only stupid answers"
you can bring up any Shibari-related topic that’s on your mind.
.
This discussion is especially useful for beginners, whether active or passive, as a chance to explore the subject beyond the techniques.
We also specifically welcome people who take the passive role and/or are interested in exploring it.
We’ve created this format especially for those who take the passive role
and/or want to explore it.
.
★
Start:
6:30 pm
★ Price: 5,-€ plus €20 for the Rope Social per person
.
At the Rope Social afterwards,
the focus shifts to hands-on practice, observing and finding inspiration.
KITSUNE 狐
Rope Play Meetup
„make shibari dirty“
Our special kind of play night, where rope play and kinky play come together in symbiosis.
Our Kitsune stands for self-expression, playfulness and sensuality
and is less of a regulars' gathering and more about Rope Play!
We invite you to our Kitsune to explore the many nuances of desire and surrender—the focus is on rope and play, and both are expressly encouraged.
.
.Kitsune 狐—a being that moves along the boundaries of society, playing tricks and also often associated with sexuality. . .
It symbolizes not only intelligence and adaptability, but also embodies the play of light and shadow, a game found in spicy play too—Kitsune uses its magical abilities for both reward and punishment, and is a creature that embraces its individuality
.
★ Admission: ~65,-€ per couple (*)
Max. 8 couples!
(*) See full description for our sliding-scale pricing system

Back then, we were curious and full of questions, never imagining how much that weekend would shape our lives.
Here we found our first inspiration, met people who are still part of our lives today, and set out on a path that has stayed with us ever since.
We’re already looking forward to BoundCon!

Special Guest
Swen Brany alias Carnivor Pictures

Swen Brandy, known for the PURE KINK documentaries on JoyClub, is a former competitive martial artist and kink educator who explores and celebrates the complex connection between body and mind in unique, often challenging situations. Inspired by the concepts “The Easy Way” and “When Masks Fall,” he emphasizes the transformative power of nonverbal communication in play, sexuality, and interpersonal relationships. His motto: “When the last mask falls, beauty unfolds in its highest form.”
He combines BDSM, fetish, and sex-positive themes with photography and film to create emotionally challenging experiences. In his workshops, he encourages self-discovery and intimacy, creating consensual spaces for personal growth without cameras.
New dates in planning.
Rope Time - Your Time in Rope
Seilzeit is a rope session you can book individually.
It’s your space to experience rope—beyond workshops and technical training.
In this space, held intentionally for you by us, we guide you through an embodied experience.
Rope creates a clear structure in which you can feel your body more deeply and your nervous system can find a sense of orientation. Pressure, guidance and restraint can affect not only the outside, but also have a regulating and stabilising effect within. Each session unfolds in the moment, shaped by your pace, your responses and your readiness.
Seilzeit is a carefully guided process of trust, body awareness and conscious surrender—intense, clear and grounded in experience.
