Great news! Peer Rope Melbourne is introducing new Beginner classes on Tuesday nights, making it the perfect opportunity to explore the world of Shibari. This course is designed for beginners and anyone who needs to refresh the basics.

During these classes, we'll talk about the history of shibari, terminology, the different types of ropes, and which one to choose and how to take care of them. We'll also focus on creating good communication and setting and maintaining healthy boundaries between the rigger and the rope model to create a safe and fun experience.

THIS MONTH THE TALENTED JULIETTE WILL BE TEACHING INTERMEDIATE CLASSES.

Juliette Bio: Juliette picked up a rope in the first Melbourne lockdown and hasn’t put it down since. She is fascinated by the many unique ways Shibari connects people through the medium of rope, in a manner that explores, transcends, and challenges our pre-existing notions of what it means to be in a relationship with another human being.

Juliette trains extensively with various local schools and teachers, including Scott Haruteru (Yukimura-ryu), Ash Snare (Rope Dojo), Harley Okami (Adalia Shibari Studio), Von Riga and Melbourne Community Rope, as well as interstate and international teachers Supaku (Kanna-ryu), Tifereth, and Yagami Ren (Yagami-ryu).

She performs nationally and internationally, drawing people into her engaging and entertaining shows, including at Shibari Lounge and various public events. Juliette loves sharing her passions and knowledge with others and brings over a decade of education and group facilitation experience to Peer Rope Melbourne.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions):

Q. What should I wear?
A. We suggest you to wear something comfortable, ensuring ease of movement. For anyone wearing a bra, we recomend to wear one without the metal wire (like a sport bra). It could be painful if we practice a chest harness and you are the model.

Q. Do I need a partner for these classes?
A. No, a partner is not required for the Beginner 1 classes and solo attendees are more than welcome. Keep in mind, even if there are often people to practice with, this could not always be the case. However, most of the ties in this course are easy to practice on yourself.

Q. What if I miss one of the classes?
A. If you know you will miss the first class, we recommend you to join the next scheduled course. The first class is where we introduce important concepts such as consent, boundaries and safety.
If you miss one of the other 3 classes, then don't worry. Our teachers always review the main ties, taught in the previous session, at the beginning of each class, ensuring you stay on track with the material.

Q. I just ended my B1 course but I don't feel ready for Beginner 2. What are my options?
A. No worries! Feel free to rejoin Beginner 1 next month or book the next intensive beginner class to keep practising the B1 level.
Also, each class/course is led by one of our exceptional teachers, and each of them features a unique teaching style and may introduce additional ties and styles, providing you with a well-rounded learning experience.

Q. Can I get a refund if I miss a class or the entire course?
A. Unfortunately, tickets are non-refundable however, they can be transferred to another person (not event) for the same event.
Contact Elisa through @intimatehorizons (on facebook or instagram) or send us an email at info.peerropemelbourne@gmail.com to facilitate the transfer.

This is a 18+ event only.
