Relating to Rope by Jim Duvall
All too often, in our quest to gain proficiency in bondage, the real reasons and fantasies that drove us here in the first place take a back seat to technique. We lose sight of the forms of sexual freedom and expression we were seeking when we began the journey.
In this workshop, we will do a series of exercises to capture those fantasies both as tops and bottoms. We will all do guided meditations (new age term for hypnosis) and group sharing to gather and experience the variety of ways we can all fantasize about and experience bondage.
When: 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM
Cost: $25 in advance, $30 at the door
No tools are required to participate and participation is mandatory in the exercises. Some portions of the workshop may involve lying on the floor and a pillow and or blanket is suggested but not required.
