ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
This 90 minute experience will center creative expression + demonstration of exploration of kink, pleasure + play through rope, tantra, and sensory play. During this workshop, guests will have the opportunity to explore a variety of kink-centric activities, toys, and experiences. *This is a non-sexual gathering designed for introduction + integration of information learned in Part I of this 2 part workshop series. Part I of this 2 part workshop will be more focused on learning, dialog, and exploration of self and is highly encouraged, but not required to attend Part II. Guests may attend solo or with their partner(s). Please purchase a ticket for each guest attending.
*Note: To expand a sense of safety and create a container that can allow all people to explore more fluidly, it's requested for you to arrive (15) minutes before the event's start time so that we can ground into the space, review community agreements, and co-create safety + connection in shared space.
PREPARATION + WHAT TO BRING:

This is not a play party and all guests will be encouraged to come in clothing that is expressive in ways that feel good to them but required to keep under garments on and covered. We suggest something that you might wear to move freely without feeling restricted. Separate top and bottom that allows you to expose legs, arms, and belly will be good for the interactive portions of this workshop.
