I've known of Desert Dominion for a few years but hadn't been able to attend an orientation so thought I was ineligible to participate in their events. This workshop, on the fundamentals of rope bondage, or Shibari, was open to the public -- street legal dress required to the door.
Desert Dominion hosts many events and is a major presence in the Tucson and surrounding areas kink community. The space is about 40' x 40' with an easily accessible bathroom, several couches and comfortable chairs and a variety of devices for restraining "victims."
I've always been a light-weight when it comes to absorbing information. After an hour of the three-hour workshop I was totally saturated and left.
It was a comfortable, relaxed presentation with strong emphasis on safety, both physical and psychological. The presenter's running commentary, which included a wealth of information, was also, in parts, hilarious.
As I was leaving, I was gifted, by a man with four hanks of new rope. I hope to put them to use in the near future.
I look forward to returning.
was it in the desert?
ReplyDeleteNo, it was at their "clubhouse."
