Bottoms Up: Bottom-Led Labbing

What does it look like to grow, together?

**This class is more effective if you attend with a tying partner for hands-on practice.**

This workshop centers intentional communication while in rope -- especially when sensations are complex, emotions are present, or words feel harder to access. Through structured exercises, bottoms will practice leading negotiations, making choices about how a tie unfolds, and expressing preferences in real time. The goal isn’t a specific outcome or shape, but building clarity, agency, and shared understanding.

Asking for what you need as a skill that can be learned, practiced, and refined.
