Sensual Shibari: Playing with "Fire"

Please read the full description before purchasing to ensure the content and structure of this workshop align with your intentions.

Explore Shibari as a tool for intimate connection — platonic or romantic — through the lens of embodiment, surrender, and trust.

In this evening immersion, we’ll work with the element of Fire energy (no literal fire play), learning how to channel intensity, primal energy, and passion in ways that honor the nervous system and consent.

Together we’ll:

• Practice negotiation and communication skills that support clear boundaries and deep trust.
• Explore energetic elements — Water, Air, Earth, and Fire — as a framework for crafting scenes.
• Learn the basics of tracking our own and our rope partner’s nervous-system responses in real time.
• Practice consent, negotiation, creating a scene, playing with rope and "fire" energy in the scene.
• Understand aftercare, repair, and the importance of integration.

• You value consent, clarity, and conscious relating.
• You’re drawn to embodiment and nervous-system awareness as the foundation of play.
• You prefer connection and integrity over technical perfection.
• You’re excited to explore primal or “rougher” energy in ways that stay grounded and trauma-informed.
• You appreciate facilitators who foster a reverent learning environment and "brave space" where consent, communication, and safety is top priority.
• You come with curiosity, an open heart, and a willingness to honor your own and others’ limits.

Solo attendees, couples, and small groups are all welcome. Voyeurism and self-tie are always valid forms of participation.

• Focus: Connection, negotiation, pacing, attunement, and consent. Foundations of scene creation, safe tying skills and playing with fire energy in integrity. You'll get a variety of hands on exercises and demos to practice these themes.
• Respect the container: Practice self awareness and communicate needs to facilitators. Any participant engaging in disrespectful or disruptive behavior may be asked to leave with no refund.
• Accessibility: Seating is low to the ground on comfortable floor furniture. Contact us beforehand if you need mobility accommodations.
• Punctuality: Doors close promptly at the posted time to set the container and cultivate safety. Punctuality is required for participation.
• Consent culture: You are encouraged to participate only when it’s a full “yes” in your body. Changing your mind is always welcome.

This is not a rope class solely focused on technical ties.
While we include foundational ties, the emphasis is on playing well with others- consent, communication, emotional attunement, and energetic play — the inner experience of connection rather than complex rope patterns. You will leave having the opportunity to create a scene and practice tying after spending time on each foundational component of scene creation.

• Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable; please register only if this content resonates.
• This is an adults-only space (21+).
• No nudity, explicit sexual acts, or literal fire play are part of this event.
  
  What others have said about my events:

"This was so much better than I expected it to be. I am blown away..."- Sarah J.

"I feel so relaxed and at peace..I wasn't sure how I would like it, but I felt so safe in this space and now I cannot wait to come back and explore more." - James C.

"I decided to attend this workshop on a whim not really knowing anything about Shibari. What drew me in was the way the rope would be explored through trauma aware and consent based framework. Because of this I connected to my true desires and felt safe to convey them to others I played with during the workshop. [The facilitators] went above and beyond in creating a sacred space. Not to mention their demonstrations were skillful and inspiring, showing the true artistry they have created in their practice. Their space evokes reverence and intention which allowed a deeper unfolding into the experience of Shibari for me. For the first time in my exploration of bdsm I felt a level of deep loving connection to my inner world through embodiment that awakened me to new possibilities." - Megan Rose
