Question 1

Do I need a partner to attend?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not! The benefit of knowing who you are working with is just a matter of trust. If you're comfortable meeting new people and working with them, this event is for you.

Question 2

Is it safe?

Accepted Answer

The ties we will be performing are considered very low risk. Additionally, we will discuss safety protocols, proper shibari etiquette, and degrees of consent. We also have safety shears in case of emergencies (which we have never had to use

Question 3

Do I have to be a certain size or weight for shibari?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not! This class is made to be accessible for all shapes and sizes. One of our goals is to be outrageously inclusive.

Question 4

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

"Bottoms" (the person being tied) want to avoid loose clothing, jewelry, accessories, etc. You don't want it to get caught up in the rope. If you have long hair, you may consider wearing it up. This is not a requirement, but is better suited for a workshop. "Tops" want to keep their hands free.

Question 5

What if I want to tie and be tied?

Accepted Answer

As long as your partner is willing to switch positions, that is perfectly fine. You can negotiate who will do the tying and who will be tied before each "scene" (each tie).

Question 6

Do I need to bring rope?

Accepted Answer

Nope! Rope will be provided. If you have rope you would like to bring, just make sure it's suitable for shibari. I recommend Jute, Hemp, or Nylon rope. Don't use rope with elastics.

Question 7

Is Nudity Required?

Accepted Answer

No nudity is required or expected. We focus on safe, consensual rope practice with clothing on. Wear something comfortable that allows movement and access to limbs/torso.

Question 8

Is this space LGBTQIA+ and knk friendly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This is a trauma-informed, body-neutral, and inclusive space for people of all genders, orientations, and identities.
