  6. Shibari classes

    Lola Lieven, Rodenrijsstraat 43, Amsterdam

    Shibari classes

    Lola Lieven, Rodenrijsstraat 43, Amsterdam

    These classes are designed for absolute beginners, beginners and people who already know how to coil rope, tie a single column tie and double column tie each with double wraps and a square knot.

    Information about the class: Shibari is the term generally used to define Japanese rope bondage. Although it has many similarities to Western bondage (the B of BDSM), Shibari is centred around the dynamic between partners and creates a scene of play where ropes are leading the player. The practice is rooted in eroticism but evolved outside Japan apart from sexual also to artistic practices and community building. The classes are designed for all levels but especially for beginners to give a point of entry and start the journey with ropes. They will give everyone the tools to get started in their practice safely, no matter which role they prefer to take on, tying or getting tied; switching is permitted and encouraged. The event lasts 3 hours of which 2 hours are dedicated to class and 1 hour to free tying, a ‘rope-jam’ where one can practise, tie for fun and socialise and mix with other participants. The topic of each class is different every month and will be announced in advance.

    Bio of the teacher

    Eileen aka Asiana is a kinky switch with a passion for Japanese rope bondage (shibari). She’s the founder of RopeLounge and has been teaching shibari for over 10 years in Amsterdam. The aesthetics and Japanese approach to tying have a great appeal to her. Generally she likes the more challenging way of tying and enjoys seeing her partners suffer in her ropes. From an educational point of view she likes to focus both on the technical part for safety reasons and the playful part for fun.

    On Sunday 18th of January we will be reading 'The Queens of Sarmiento Park' by Camila Sosa Villada.

    Link in bio to sign up!

    "Auntie Encarna's is the queerest boarding house in the world. For Camila, it is a refuge, and the raggle-taggle band of queens who gather there are like family. At night they dress up and head out to Sarmiento Park to earn money. They stand together in the cold, sharing stories and a hip flask of whiskey, waiting for a car to slow down. Until, one freezing evening, Auntie Encarna hears crying in the bushes and wades in to investigate. When she finds an abandoned baby boy, she will hear no arguments: she is bringing him home to care for him. Life for Camila and the others will never be the same again."

    Language: The workshops are conducted in English but other languages may be used for production. We will find ways to read, if you chose another tongue more familiar to you.

    January 20, January 27, February 3, February 10, February 17, and February 24, 2026

    Ze zijn nooit moe, nooit chagrijnig en zeker
    nooit slap. Komen op plekken die voor anderen onbereikbaar zijn en brengen je
    tot hoogtes die je niet kon vermoeden. Seksspeeltjes staan altijd voor je
    klaar, maar zelf houden we onze genegenheid voor ze vaak verborgen. Winkels
    verkopen ze in discrete zwarte tasjes, hun getril mag niet te luid klinken en
    thuis verstoppen we ze diep in de la. Mogen wij de jouwe zien? Heb je ze liever
    dan je lief? In de 23ste Sex Salon vertroetelen we onze toys.

    Workshop Monsters

    QueerHub Nieuw-West, Notweg 38, Amsterdam

    OndersteBoven kicks off 2026 and with it its 20th anniversary with the workshop Monsters by Dorian de Rijk, organized together with Queer Currents as the closing event of 2 years of Alliantie Queer365, supported by the Municipality of Amsterdam.

    Join us on an expedition!

    For this special occasion, Dorian has created a workshop about safety and belonging. Dorian: "Monsters is about how we deal with things that aren't clear-cut. It celebrates that you can look at things from different angles. How do you deal with something that can't be captured in one word? Even in a place where you feel safe, something can feel different than you expect. What does safety actually feel like? And how do we think we should experience it?"

    Monsters wants to create space that doesn't exist yet. New space for new experiences, a space where anything can happen. A queer space. Create your own monster portrait with Dorian, design a Fake-ID, or brew an elixir. This winter is the moment to deepen roots and create new forms of belonging.

    In her work, Dorian draws inspiration from the Japanese Knotweed, a plant that grows everywhere. This plant shows us a new way of looking at belonging. The Japanese Knotweed makes every place her home. She grows through everything. She can be disruptive, but also healing. In winter, she goes underground to strengthen her roots. A monster, full of resilience.

    You are welcome, so do register!

    De lobby van het Dovenontmoetingscentrum (DOC) is inmiddels een thuis geworden voor onze maandelijkse bijeenkomsten. Het DOC heeft een leuke bar met lieve vrijwilligers die je graag helpen met een drankje. Deze vrijwilligers zijn dus slechthorend of doof maar kunnen goed liplezen en leren je graag een woordje in gebarentaal als je daar interesse in hebt.

    Er is een zitgedeelte in de lobby bij het raam en in het midden van de zaal staan tafels met spelletjes, en in de kast van de lobby staan nog meer puzzels en spellen. Er is ook een hoekje achteraf met wat minder licht waar je even kunt afzonderen als dat nodig is.

    Het is een rustige omgeving, er is geen muziek en we hebben sfeer verlichting. Bij binnenkomst wordt je verwelkomt door Jojo, Remon of Qilan. Je ontvangt dan twee muntjes voor consumpties. Hapjes en snacks zijn gratis. Via de nieuwsbrief ben je op de hoogte of er die avond nog een activiteit plaatsvind zoals Bingo, Hints of een lezing.

    Erotic Poetry Night - Valentine special

    Tolhuistuin, IJpromenade 2, Amsterdam

    By popular demand, Eroticly Yours returns to Tolhuistuin with an Erotic Poetry Night: Valentine Special An evening designed to awaken the senses through poetry, storytelling, music, and performance art, all centered around the erotic.

    From tender to explicit, from fantasy to the everyday, from toys and self-pleasure to burning desire, from dates gone wrong (or wonderfully right), to erotic fashion, kink, fetishes, and slow kisses – the world of the erotic is as rich as it is diverse. Guests are invited to come alone, with friends, or with a date, and experience performances by a wide range of local and international artists offering their unique take on what erotica can mean.

    The perfect date night. So treat yourself on a solo date, or go together with your favourite people with one of the poly tickets. And if you fancy a romantic dinner before indulging yourself in an evening full of erotica, check the special dinner menu Tolhuistuin has prepared.

  22. Shibari classes

    Shibari classes

    Lola Lieven, Rodenrijsstraat 43, Amsterdam

    These classes are designed for absolute beginners, beginners and people who already know how to coil rope, tie a single column tie and double column tie each with double wraps and a square knot.

    Information about the class: Shibari is the term generally used to define Japanese rope bondage. Although it has many similarities to Western bondage (the B of BDSM), Shibari is centred around the dynamic between partners and creates a scene of play where ropes are leading the player. The practice is rooted in eroticism but evolved outside Japan apart from sexual also to artistic practices and community building. The classes are designed for all levels but especially for beginners to give a point of entry and start the journey with ropes. They will give everyone the tools to get started in their practice safely, no matter which role they prefer to take on, tying or getting tied; switching is permitted and encouraged. The event lasts 3 hours of which 2 hours are dedicated to class and 1 hour to free tying, a ‘rope-jam’ where one can practise, tie for fun and socialise and mix with other participants. The topic of each class is different every month and will be announced in advance.

    Bio of the teacher

    Eileen aka Asiana is a kinky switch with a passion for Japanese rope bondage (shibari). She’s the founder of RopeLounge and has been teaching shibari for over 10 years in Amsterdam. The aesthetics and Japanese approach to tying have a great appeal to her. Generally she likes the more challenging way of tying and enjoys seeing her partners suffer in her ropes. From an educational point of view she likes to focus both on the technical part for safety reasons and the playful part for fun.
