Interested in learning the basics of shibari, a centuries-old practice of sensual Japanese rope bondage? Join Stevie (they/them) with help from Julia (she/her) of the Self Serve team as they guide you through this 2.5-hour intensive class covering the history of this traditional Japanese practice and modern art form. Be sure to bring water for this longer class and there will be time for a break! There’s a lot to cover before we ‘get the ropes’ of it all and actually get-to-the-ropes, so be prepared to spend about half of the time engaged in discussion covering background and cultural significance, safety, consent, and possible risks of rope bondage and then get ready to practice some entry level knots, tensions, and even work towards a few simple ties. Shibari can be practiced safely solo or with a partner(s), and this beginner class sets you up to start that exploration!
Access Info: This class is held in-person and at the Self Serve store. Masks are required at Self Serve, please follow all COVID protocols to help keep each other and our community safe.

Please refrain from wearing heavily scented products. In-person classes have a 10 person limit.
