Shibari P!ay : Funishments vs Punishments

Step into the psychology of rope, power, and embodied connections.

In this experiential Shibari workshop, we’ll explore the nuanced art of “Funishments vs. Punishments” — how intention, tone, and connection transform the energy of restraint from discipline to devotion.

This is not just a class about knots — it’s a class about emotional choreography. You’ll learn to use rope as language: joyful, corrective, eros energy, or nurturing — depending on how energy and intention are directed. Whether you’re a seasoned top, a curious bottom, or somewhere fluid in between, this class invites you to explore how Shibari can be both structure and sensation, control and care. All levels welcome.
