Rope is sensitive and dynamic. It can act like a conductor of energy and information between bodies. When we involve rope in our play, we work with different types of touch; from the light gliding of rope on the skin, through to the firm compression of rope as the Rigger wraps, frictions, cinches, and moulds their model into a beautiful bind.

In this workshop, we will teach some basic principles of both Kinbaku and massage, leading a suggested sequence of touch and ties - with ample time for play. We will build our sense of connection, trust, confidence and surrender. We will explore how we touch with our hands, our bodies and through our rope. We will explore how the rope can be an extension of our own bodies through connecting physical touch and binding with rope. 

Communication in rope is transcending as connection. Bondage need not be beautiful and perfect for it to feel alive and to give pleasure. For it to go deep, it is not necessary that the rope turn you on. When tying or being tied, you feel your pleasure/displeasure, fear, anger and all the nuances of the whole rich pallet of human feelings...and you take to heart what is there.

All experience levels in bondage are welcome. Experience with attentive touch, breathwork and tantra is advantageous.
