August Beginners Intensive - Connective Shibari series

🔗 Intro to Shibari – A Full-Day Rope Intensive for Beginners

Saturday, August 9 | 10am–5pm
Tying pairs only – limited spots available

Learn rope that feels good—confident, connective, and expressive.
This full-day beginner shibari intensive is for tying pairs who want to move beyond tutorials and into playful, embodied rope that flows.

You'll learn foundational ties, how to handle rope safely and smoothly, and how to create dynamic, consensual rope scenes that feel like a dance—not just a sequence.

This is for beginners who want more than repetition. You'll leave with real skills, personal insight, and a deeper sense of connection—with rope and with each other.
