ADDITIONAL MODULES in the "TOUCH LAB": 28.01. / 31.01. / 04.02. / 07.02.2025 → MORE INFO HERE
This open course series offers both beginners and massage professionals the opportunity to put together an individual course program.
Depending on your skills and interests, you can book each module individually and/or combine them with others.
Learn the basics of sensual massage, experience and practise genital massage, immerse yourself in anal touch, find out how to let the receiving person arrive with an opening ritual and bring them into deep relaxation and combine everything you have learned in a Body2Body massage ritual.
You will learn how to incorporate ropes into your massage in the SHIBANTRA workshop and you can try out, deepen and integrate everything you have learned during the massage exchange on the last day.
This week or the individual modules will broaden your horizons, motivate you and give you valuable tools with which you can create your own individual touch rituals.
It is particularly important to us to acknowledge the diversity of genders and needs and expect all participants to be open and queer-friendly.
The group of participants will be different in each module. It is therefore very important that you are aware of your own boundaries, can communicate them and regulate yourself. It is best to take a partner with you to the workshops so that you can feel safe enough. If you come alone, you will be assigned random partners.
Sat, 18.01.25 10:00 - 20:00h
SENSUAL MASSAGE
BASIC
with Oli
In this course you will learn the basics for a one-hour sensual and targeted massage. You will alternate between the giving and receiving roles. You will learn techniques to relax the muscles and at the same time stimulate your partner without touching the genitals.
Sun, 19.01.25 10:00 - 18:00h
SHIBANTRA
ROPE WORK & MASSAGE
with Rowan & Julian
Ropes can be an exciting add-on for a massage. Especially if the person receiving the massage wants to surrender completely and give up control. Tight bondage can provide a sense of security and encourage letting go. We experiment with this.
Tue, 21.01.25 18:30 - 22:30h
VULVA MASSAGE
DEMO & HANDS-ON
with Sash
Learn the art of genital touch on the vulva.
After a demonstration on a human model, there will be the opportunity to practise the techniques shown with a partner. We will transition into this hands-on session with some physical exercises.
Participation in the two hands-on sessions can only be guaranteed for participants with a partner!*
Wed, 22.01.25 18:30 - 22:30h
PENIS MASSAGE
DEMO & HANDS-ON
with Julian
Learn the art of genital touch on the penis.
After a demonstration on a human model, there will be the opportunity to practise the techniques shown with a partner. We will transition into this hands-on session with some physical exercises.
Participation in the two hands-on sessions can only be guaranteed for participants with a partner!*
Thu, 23.01.25 19:00 - 22:30h
ANAL MASSAGE
BASIC
with Julian
When it comes to anal touch, sensitivity is required in the truest sense of the word. In a demo, I will show you how to gently open an anus and how to explore the pelvic floor muscles. Afterwards, participants can optionally incorporate anal touch into a massage ritual.
Fri, 24.01.25 18:30 - 22:30h
OPENING RITUAL
RELAXING & GROUNDING
with Julian
On this evening I will show you how I use suggestions, dry touch and breathwork to bring the recipient into a pleasant relaxation trance in a very short time. We will then practise touching without oil in two rounds.
This evening is the perfect introduction to the following weekend!
Sat, 25.01.25 10:00 - 20:00h
EROTIC BODY2BODY MASSAGE
with Julian
Giving a sensual, erotic massage is a sublime art and a great gift. Especially when the giving person knows how to use their whole body. We will try out positions and postures that make the work on the floor easier and feel particularly pleasant. This creates a lot of physical closeness, which awakens connection, care and trust.
Sun, 26.01.25 10:00 - 18:00h
MASSAGE CAROUSEL &
MASSAGE EXCHANGE
with Julian
On the last day of this intensive week, we would like to give you the opportunity to repeat and deepen what you have learned. You can choose to take part in the massage carousel or the 1:1 massage exchange. While you have a new partner every 10 - 15 minutes in the massage carousel, you stay with one person in the 1:1 massage exchange. Choose your preferred setting.

Additional modules
If you have been bitten by the massage bug and want to learn even more, I recommend the other Touch Lab evenings at the Art Of Touch Studio in Zurich. The courses can be booked individually via Eventfrog.
Tue, 28.01.25 18:30 - 22:30h
GENITAL MEDITATION
with Julian
When it comes to genital touch, we often fall into certain patterns. With genital meditation, we break our habitual patterns and immerse ourselves in a meditative state, surrender to riding the waves of pleasure and enjoy our arousal or non-arousal over a period of 15 minutes. In preparation, we take a closer look at our genitals.
Fri, 31.01.25 18:30 - 22:30h
OSZILLATION
with Julian
With this technique, we vibrate the body with shaking movements. This loosens the spine in particular and promotes relaxation.
We experiment with different ways to get the body vibrating and incorporate these techniques into a massage sequence.
Tue, 04.02.25 18:30 - 22:30h
THAI MASSAGE TASTER
with Julian
The traditional Thai massage is usually performed with the body clothed. It involves a pressure point massage and various passive stretches.
This evening I will give you a little insight as inspiration.
Instead of clothing, we simply use a lunghi as a cover and bring a little more sensuality into the massage.
Fri, 07.02.25 18:30 - 22:30h
ECSTATIC TOUCH
with Julian
The path to ecstasy is through breathing, voice, movement and touch. Some of these elements often need to be liberated first, as inhibitions, shame and fears sometimes prevent us from expressing ourselves sexually.
With exercises and certain techniques, we try to get closer to ecstasy and full-body orgasm.
FAQ
Do I have to undress completely?
Generally, some exercises and the massage sessions take place naked. In between, however, we wear clothes or a lunghi (wrap). If you have reasons or the need to wear underwear on a particular day, please discuss this briefly with the course leader and we will find a solution.
Do I have to bring a partner?
No. If you attend the course alone, you will be assigned random partners and work with different people. The gender of the assigned person should not matter to you. If you bring a partner, you have the choice of always working together or being assigned a random person.
How should I prepare?
For everyone's sake, you should come to the workshop freshly showered. There is also a shower on site that can be used before and after. Please do not wear strong perfume, deodorant will be fine. The consumption of psychoactive substances (alcohol, cannabis, poppers etc.) changes the presence/body perception and should therefore be postponed until later.
What should I bring with me?
In addition to a towel, please bring a large sheet (sheet) on which your whole body has space.
We also recommend that you bring an optional sealable water bottle and writing utensils and, for full-day workshops, food for the lunch break.
Further material will be provided by us.
What language is spoken at the workshop?
We speak German and English and adapt the language used to the needs of the participants.
