workshops held during Endless Gaycation. Together, we cover the
intersection between queer relationships, self-care, self-knowledge,
non-monogamy, radical self-awareness, communication, all the
social forces that press down on us, and boundary making.

Rope Bite (formerly the Art of Adult Ropes)
Monday 4/8, 4/22, 6:15 PMMarigny area, contact teacher for location
From the ancient Japanese art of Shibari to the present and diverse
world today, we will be exploring how we can use rope for love,
lust, and a show, the bondage, the power exchange, the art, and the
flow. The first 30 minutes of every group session is for new
students to learn the basics, as well as for returning students to
warm up and review. The class will include field trips to allow for
extra learning and real-life exploration. NOLA has some great
spots for gorilla/flash tying; let's find them. Practice rope is
available, but it is recommended that you bring your own. Come to
class to learn about the different types of rope and how to select
them.
