This non-sexual workshop is for those curious about or beginning their journey with rope bondage, whether partnered or solo. Rope can be sadistic or comforting, can feel safe or exposing, it can be a cozy rope hug or a torturous challenge. It really is what you and/or your rope partner make of it! You'll learn basic building blocks that allow you to start tying now with the option to add onto your knowledge in the future if you want to dive deeper.
We will cover:
- risk awareness and mitigation
- negotiation
- single column tie
- double column tie
- joining rope
- if time allows, I’ll teach a specific pattern or harness based on the preferences of the workshop attendees
There will be a limited amount of rope available to borrow for the workshop, but it is HIGHLY encouraged that you bring your own rope and safety scissors/shears!
Bring with you:
- rope (nylon, POSH, jute, or hemp preferred, 2-6+ hanks of 15ft-30ft length)
- safety scissors/shears
- comfortable clothes that aren’t baggy - athleisure usually works (no underwire bras if tying the chest)
- towel, yoga mat, blanket, or something to sit and/or lay on comfortably
- water
- snack if you think you’ll want it
- curiosity and an open mind
Price is sliding scale $60-100 per couple/$30-50 per person (can take as a self love/self tie class)
Meet Your Instructor
Bunny Luna (they/them) is an agender ecosexual artist, educator, and facilitator with a background in rope bondage, kink/BDSM, photography, modeling, yoga, aerial silks, somatics, and event organizing. They started their rope journey as a toddler, trying to tie their dad to a chair with clear tape when they were about 2 years old. Around 2010 Bunny started their “official” rope journey and in 2016 they experienced their first rope suspension, along with their first injury from rope. They took a few years off after their injury, then in summer 2022 their passion for rope was reignited! They have spent many hours learning from folks one on one in person, at rope labs and jams, at workshops and group classes, and through online resources such as Shibari Study, Crash Restraint, and Rope365. Bunny was Shibari Study’s student of the month for May 2023 and is a rope performer for PUSH in Durham (Nov 2023, April 2024, Nov 2024).
