Continue or embark on the next stage of your Shibari journey with Peer Rope Melbourne and acquire new skills through our Intermediate 1 Shibari Classes.

Every month, we will start a different series with a different teacher.

Intermediate classes are designed for those who have already obtained a solid foundation in rope bondage. Whether you participated in the Beginner 2 course at PRM, a previous Intermediate class or course with us or in other schools, and want to keep learning. In each class, we will learn a different tie, focusing on mastering its technique, aesthetics, and emotional connection. From traditional patterns to innovative variations, you will discover the beauty and power that lies within each knot.

In July classes will be held on Thursday nights starting on Aug 6th, from 7 PM to 9 PM,

THIS MONTH WE WILL BE FOCUSING ON The Third Rope

Your facilitators this month is the talented HandsomeLoaf & Starlove

Mitch (he/him) has been tying since 2018, cultivating a shibari practice rooted in intention, control, and connection, shaped by a wide range of influences.

He approaches rope as a way to make emotion tangible - a space where tension reveals something honest, and authenticity can be explored and expressed.

As a guest teacher this month with Peer Rope Melbourne, he holds a steady, welcoming space, encouraging students to engage with rope as both a skill and a form of personal exploration.
