TETHERED & TIED After Hours

An Immersive Authentic Relating After Hours Experience | All Levels Welcome

For those who crave sensory connection, nervous system healing, and trauma-informed intimacy through rope.

📍 Address provided in confirmation email.

📝 Note: This is a fully clothed, non-sex based educational rope event focused on sensation, communication, and embodied attunement. It follows Eventbrite’s Community Guidelines⁣. Tethered Presence is a trauma-aware, neurodivergent-inclusive Shibari workshop centered on embodiment, mindfulness, and emotional self-awareness. Using rope as a tool for somatic practice, this class offers both self-tie and partner tie options to help you connect deeply—with your body, your breath, your nervous system, and your needs.

This is not a performance space. This is a slow, consensual, and supportive container for curious beginners, seasoned rope players, and especially neurodivergent folx (ADHD, Autism, Sensory Sensitivity, etc.) seeking tools for regulation, connection, and inner stillness.

A slow, sensory descent into deeper presence.

After a full-day immersion, we open the doors for an evening of attuned rope practice, embodied pacing, and nervous system repair.

This space isn’t about performance. It’s about presence. It’s about showing up as you are—curious, tender, playful, or simply wanting to be witnessed. Gentle Shibari practice (partnered or solo) Sensory co-regulation & grounding techniques. Consent-forward connection & relational pacing.

A soft, neurodivergent-welcoming container. If you’ve been longing for intimacy that honors your body’s pace…If you crave community rooted in care, not spectacle…If you’re ready to tether in and feel a little more alive—This evening is for you.

Why This Work Matters:

In a world that moves fast—especially in cities like NYC—many of us live in a state of mental noise, hypervigilance, or disconnection from our bodies. For neurodivergent folks, this can be amplified by sensory overload, masking, or feeling “20 thoughts deep.”

Rope becomes a gateway back into yourself.

When you self-tie or connect through rope with a partner, you begin to slow down, notice sensations, sync breath, and tap into your body’s natural wisdom. It’s not just about rope—it’s about re-sourcing your energy, increasing emotional fluency, and shifting from reactivity to intention.

• You are neurodivergent and seeking somatic tools for self-regulation and grounding
