Event Description

Slow, soothing, and deeply connective. This rope-inspired workshop invites you into the intimacy, trust, and tension that make rope play so powerful...all without a single knot!

“Energetic Ties That Bind” is built for anyone who’s ever craved more clarity, more confidence, or more connection—within themselves and with others. It’s a space for beginners and experienced players alike to explore intimacy without pressure, performance, or pretense.

We move through three progressive areas of embodied practice designed to help you feel, name, and express energetic connection:

• Energetic Connection: No-touch practices to cultivate attunement—within yourself, with a partner, and with the space between you.
• Touch for Energetic Containment: Explore platonic, conscious touch that soothes the nervous system and invites grounded stillness.
• Touch for Energetic Penetration: Introduce gentle movement and subtle contrast to expand energy and invite flow without overwhelming or losing connection.

You’ll leave with tools to tune into your own energetic signals, to connect more confidently with others, and to bring more spaciousness and skill to any touch-based exchange—whether in rope, in kink, or in everyday life.
