Description
Description: In this workshop, participants will learn how to tie (and/or how to be tied) in sustainable, functional rope chest harnesses from experienced rope/shibari practitioners in an inclusive, body-positive environment. Workshop will include demonstrations, step-by-step hands-on tying instruction, opportunities for individual feedback, and information about risks and safety issues.
Skill/Experience Level: An intro rope class (such as Parker's Beginner Rope Intensive workshop or an equivalent workshop) is very helpful as background for this class Knowing some intro rope skills, such as a square knot, a Somerville bowline single-column tie, and a half-hitch are helpful for keeping up in this class -- but all experience levels are welcome to attend and participate!Knowing some intro rope skills, such as a square knot, a Somerville bowline single-column tie, and a half-hitch are helpful for keeping up in the class. However, all experience levels are welcome to participate!
Partnering: Attend this workshop solo or with a partner. Participation in any parts of the workshop is entirely optional and should be done only with full, ongoing consent.
Some hands-on parts of the workshop are most effective with a partner. If you attend solo, you are welcome to try to partner up with another solo participant at the start of the workshop.
What to Bring: We recommend bringing 2-4 lengths of rope (usually ~25-35 ft. long each, and perhaps including one shorter length of rope that's ~10-15 ft.)
Rope (jute & POSH) is also available for purchase with workshop sign-up & at the workshop!
