Wanting to level up your shibari game? Come to this class with Himboy and learn the basics of adaptive tying.

Participants will develop an understanding of basic rope structures, the purposes of particular hitches and frictions, a deep appreciation for tension management, and come away with the ability to tie to a wider range of bodies.

Part of this class also includes a problem solving section, so feel free to come with any rope struggles or difficulties and we can work it out together!

ACCESSIBILITY: There is a steep flight of stairs with 2 turns up into the workshop space of the venue, please reach out to us if this may be of concern to you so that we can provide more information! Inside the venue there are 3 steps leading down to the hallway to the kichen area, and another 3 steps leading down into the kitchen space which leads to the bathroom.

TICKETING STRUCTURE

We have added a pay-what-you-can/want ticket - to help support the community and those who may not be able to afford the full price ticket of $120 / $200, this is an option where you can pay what you can from $80. There is no upper limit on this ticket, so if you feel like subsidising those who purchase 'lower priced tickets, or giving a little extra to the facilitator to support us, this is your option!

We believe in both accessibility for the community, as well as making sure our facilitators are paid appropriately for their erotic / intellectual labours, so this is our solution to hold space for both with a minimum of fuss!

Enjoy this social experiment, and we'd love your feedback.
