SUMMARY:Techniques In Tying: Intermediate Series Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This 3-part series is designed for those who feel confident with single/double columns and are ready for more complexity. Classes will focus on functional rather than decorative patterns\, emphasizing the techniques needed for creating stable ties and understanding how components interact. Those tying will learn how to incorporate play and body manipulation to dive deeper into creating connected\, intentional scenes. Those being tied will learn assessment skills necessary to evaluate stamina and strength in a variety of positions and shapes. Upon completing this series\, students will be prepared for nuanced conversations on individual risk profiles and strategic thinking on pattern construction. \nIn order to benefit from this class\, those tying should be able to confidently use a non-collapsing single column and double column tie\, use simple frictions like munters and half-hitches\, and understand how and when to use forward versus reverse tension. Those being tied should be comfortable stating their rope style preferences and communicating their physical and emotional experiences while in rope. \nThese classes are crafted for partnered learning; attendees need to sign up in pairs. Tying pairs must commit to all classes in the series. Prerequisites\, gear requirements\, and expectations are outlined on the ticketing page. Class dates are 3/15\, 4/19\, and 5/17 from 11am to 2pm.

All are invited to ask questions\, observe what people are doing\, give/request feedback\, show what you know or are in the midst of learning at any level. \nQuieter voices: Please default to speaking only as loudly as needed; hushed voices are great to keep the overall volume down \nStack: When having group conversations\, we recommend using a simplified “taking stack” method to help avoid speaking over and interrupting others. If you’re unfamiliar with this\, please see one of the event hosts! \nWhat to Bring:\n– A mask\, kn95 or better REQUIRED\n– Comfortable clothing suitable for movement\n– Rope (a limited amount of loaner rope may be available for use during the event)\n– A notebook or sketchbook for jotting down tips and insights\n– Ground cover if wanted\n– Ideas for things you’d like to learn or show to others \nDonations:\nThis event asks for a donation of $5.

SUMMARY:Beginner Shibari
DESCRIPTION:Shibari is the Japanese-inspired practice of aesthetic rope bondage. In this foundational session\, students will learn fundamental ties and techniques to begin their rope journey. Though fundamental\, these techniques can be combined in uncountable ways to produce elaborate shapes and scenarios. Besides learning technical skills\, we will focus on rope bondage as a movement and acrobatic art\, with emphasis on flow\, aesthetics\, and partner connection. This class is appropriate for students that wish to learn shibari as a performing art\, or as a private practice. Attendees can attend solo or as a couple. \nHosted out of a circus school\, this class is ideal for folks that want to explore shibari in a non-kink environment.

SUMMARY:Predicament Rope Bondage
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will start with a 30 minute lecture on the historical context of Japanese eroticism and rope as a tool for nonconsensual torture in Japan’s Tokugawa period. Then we will analyze the 20th century development of semenawa or torturous rope as a common BDSM practice. \nWe will briefly analyze the methodology of predicament bondage looking through the theoretical framework of sustainable\, stress\, suffer\, and sweat. We will then look at various predicament positions and discuss creative approaches to “turn up the heat”. The technical ties we will cover will be the  ebi shibari / shrimp tie position. \nDisclaimer: Presentation includes images depicting violence\, sexual violence\, and nudity.

This is not a place to cruise or look for partners. \nSelf-tiers are warmly welcome — most demos will include self-tie options. \n*Rope is for every body.* \n## What\nWe’ll start with a short welcome circle and consent & safety reminders\, then move into some beginner-friendly demos and exercises\, while those with more experience are free to do their own thing\, or to help the newbies keep up. There’s plenty of time for open practice and casual peer-to-peer sharing. \nYou’ll have space to:\n• tie with a partner if you attend with one\, or if you find someone you’re mutually excited to practice with\n• tie solo as a self-tier\n• practice knots\, frictions\, flow\, or concepts\n• talk\, observe\, ask questions\, contribute your own knowledge or opinions\, or simply be present \nNo one will be pressured to tie with anyone. You get to choose your level of interaction. \nThis is a social and educational space\, not a play party:\n🚫 No nudity\n🚫 No sexual activity\n🚫 No explicit scenes \nFloorwork only (no suspension points). \n## What to Bring\n🪢 Rope & safety shears (I have a few extras for newbies to borrow\, if needed)\n🥤 Water bottle\n🥨 Snacks for yourself or to share — just no eating (or shoes) on the mats\n🧸 Any other aftercare needs (blanket\, stuffy\, pillow…whatever helps you feel comfortable and grounded) \n## Where\nThe venue is conveniently located across the street from the Olympia Transit Center (bus station).

Since then\, I’ve taken private and group lessons\, attended workshops and events in Seattle and the Bay Area with my long-distance partner @XTCatalyst (who co-facilitates the group with me when he’s in town)\, and supplemented with online study and independent practice. \nI’m building the @OlyRope community to create a space that’s safer\, kinder\, and more accessible for LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent rope lovers in the South Sound. \nI facilitate in a collaborative\, peer-led style\, and I demo many techniques as self-ties so folks without partners have concrete\, empowering ways to engage with rope. My goal isn’t to be “the authority” on anything — it’s to help cultivate a space where it feels natural and comfortable for all of us to learn from each other. \n## I’ve adopted the (link: https://meerkatagenda.com/kems text: KEMS code of conduct) and have nothing to disclose.

SUMMARY:Bondage for Beginners at Gallery Erato
DESCRIPTION:Interested in adding some bondage to your life but not sure where to start? This fun and accessible introductory class will introduce you to the basics of kink and rope bondage. By the time you’re done you’ll have all the skills you need to safely and confidently start exploring bondage on your own. \nThis is a bondage class rather than a knots class\, so our focus is on teaching a small number of versatile techniques that you can use in all kinds of ways.

To help you put it all together\, we’ll have fun demos of the techniques in action\, along with suggestions for how to figure out what kind of kink works best for you. \nSingle students are welcome\, but this class is most fun if you take it with a partner. We’ll provide practice rope if you don’t have your own. Class handouts will be provided\, with digital access after the class. \nImportant details: \n• Pay-what-you-can scholarships\, funded by 4Culture\, are available for all Pan Eros Foundation workshops. •If you need financial assistance\, please email Leah at education@pan-eros.org\n• All sexes\, genders\, races\, ethnicities\, sexual orientations\, relationship orientations\, bodies\, body types\, ability levels welcome and celebrated.\n• No late entry will be allowed due to the nature of this workshop.

SUMMARY:Speed Tying Social
DESCRIPTION:Tops\, bottoms\, and switches will get hands-on rope practice through bite-sized sessions with each other. There is no “dating” here\, but you will meet\, tie\, and be tied. People are encouraged to attend solo\, as this is an opportunity to mix and mingle. \nPlease arrive on time in order to fully participate in all activities:\nNoon: check-in & rules\n12:15-12:45pm: socializing & “speed meeting” rounds\n12:45-1pm: break\n1-3pm: speed tying rounds \nFolks tying: bring your favorite upper body\, lower body\, and decorative harnesses out to play. You will get to tie them on different body types and shapes\, practice creativity and adaptation\, receive feedback\, and test your rope handling skills. You’ll have eight minutes to tie and untie each round\, though this precise timing may vary. \nFolks being tied: experience rope\, practice negotiating\, and compare how different patterns feel on your body. You are encouraged to share preferences or physical limitations to see how different people tying adapt their structures. \nThis is an opportunity to explore what rope can offer. To fully participate in this class\, you need to be comfortable tying and being tied by different types of people. This is a learning and practicing environment. Please respect the goals of the event by not pressuring or asking people to play\, or solicit “rope rides”\, outside of this activity.

SUMMARY:Partners in Rope: Active Bottoming Skills
DESCRIPTION:Mspinsea presents: \nDiscussion Based Workshop: \nWe all know that bunnies are cute\, right? Did you know that being a rope bunny (or sub/bottom) is hard work? 9 out of 10 rope tops prefer an active bottom! However\, being an active bottom is about more than just physical safety – it’s about being an active participant in the scene. Join us to help build your active bottoming skills. Note: All of this also applies to other forms of BDSM play.

All are invited to ask questions\, observe what people are doing\, give/request feedback\, show what you know or are in the midst of learning at any level. \nQuieter voices: Please default to speaking only as loudly as needed; hushed voices are great to keep the overall volume down \nStack: When having group conversations\, we recommend using a simplified “taking stack” method to help avoid speaking over and interrupting others.

SUMMARY:Beginner Shibari
DESCRIPTION:Shibari is the Japanese-inspired practice of aesthetic rope bondage. In this foundational session\, students will learn fundamental ties and techniques to begin their rope journey. Though fundamental\, these techniques can be combined in uncountable ways to produce elaborate shapes and scenarios. Besides learning technical skills\, we will focus on rope bondage as a movement and acrobatic art\, with emphasis on flow\, aesthetics\, and partner connection. This class is appropriate for students that wish to learn shibari as a performing art\, or as a private practice. Attendees can attend solo or as a couple. \nHosted out of a circus school\, this class is ideal for folks that want to explore shibari in a non-kink environment.

SUMMARY:Techniques In Tying: Intermediate Series Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This 3-part series is designed for those who feel confident with single/double columns and are ready for more complexity. Classes will focus on functional rather than decorative patterns\, emphasizing the techniques needed for creating stable ties and understanding how components interact. Those tying will learn how to incorporate play and body manipulation to dive deeper into creating connected\, intentional scenes. Those being tied will learn assessment skills necessary to evaluate stamina and strength in a variety of positions and shapes. Upon completing this series\, students will be prepared for nuanced conversations on individual risk profiles and strategic thinking on pattern construction. \nIn order to benefit from this class\, those tying should be able to confidently use a non-collapsing single column and double column tie\, use simple frictions like munters and half-hitches\, and understand how and when to use forward versus reverse tension. Those being tied should be comfortable stating their rope style preferences and communicating their physical and emotional experiences while in rope. \nThese classes are crafted for partnered learning; attendees need to sign up in pairs. Tying pairs must commit to all classes in the series. Prerequisites\, gear requirements\, and expectations are outlined on the ticketing page. Class dates are 3/15\, 4/19\, and 5/17 from 11am to 2pm.
