Afternoon Session 1:00PM-3:00PM

All attendees are invited back Sunday 11:00AM-1:00PM for a Bottoms Round Table Discussion with Courtney, Violet, Paige, and Veers.

We will focus on:

-safety considerations and ways to mitigate compression on the arms and hands. 

-setting/placing hands behind the back 

-tying wrist cuff or split cuff if hands cannot be fully crossed behind the back 

-placing ropes on the arms to reduce nerve compression 

-wrapping each rope with reverse and forward tensions 

-setting appropriate kanuki tension in the second rope 

-finishing both ropes in clean and creative ways. 

-adding the suspension line and testing how the tied Gote fits under tension 

All attendees should have a solid understanding of shibari fundamentals.

For both tops: directional square knots, reverse and forward tension, single column tie, x-friction, upline handling

For bottoms: basic safety in understanding and familiarity with their top as a tying partner

Odys is kinbaku artist and educator who discovered the beauty of rope bondage ten years ago, and has been deeply dedicated to it ever since. Initially inspired by the traditional Japanese style bondage, he has attended workshops with many world class presenters to find his path. He is the creator of KinbakuOdyssey studio and a direct student of Akira Naka sensei.

 To Odys, kinbaku is a connective journey expressed through emotional transitions, evoked by progressive torment and power exchange. Each rope represents the catch and release of control. With each rope, he takes his partners on a journey of self-discovery, exposing what they secretly crave. His unique expression of sensually erotic semenawa evokes sensations of pleasure and pain, ultimately pushing his partners to reveal their inner feelings and emotions to him.

Violet found rope early in her journey back in 2015. Unlike other kinks, it touched her in unexpected and transformative ways. She considers it these days to be an intentional and intimate dialogue between two people. She is passionate about self-reflection and an open-minded approach to exploration and a safe approach to challenging your edge.

 As a bottom, she has attended as well as taught workshops, intensives and private classes. She has learned from a wide range from styles throughout the world, including Naka Akira, Iroha Shizuki, Kanna and Kagura, KinbakuLuXuria, Tenma Haru and Reika, Gorgone, Subay/Naoko, Mynx, Soptik and Sansei and Atelier Simonet. She has taught several introductory rope classes and enjoys incorporating dominance in her play.
