What if kink could be a space where you feel safe and cared for?
In this class we explore how to create somatic scenes that leave you grounded and relaxed.  

We will talk about:

• Why you might want to create a soft snuggly scene
• Creating emotional safety
• How to engage the parasympathetic nervous system
• Scene crafting for soft cuddly scenes
• How to turn impact into a massage like experience

This class is suitable for complete beginners and recommended for couples/groups. At the end of class you’ll have created a cuddly scene with your partner that you can try out that day! Feel free to bring toys, blankets or anything else you might want to make a snuggly scene.

If you’re attending solo you’re welcome to leave early or observe the hands on portion.

Rope can be the perfect tool for intensity, suffering and sadomasochism. This hands-on class will prove that a little bit of rope can get a huge reaction, even without suspension or uplines. We will learn ties on the toes, calves, crotch, and torso, then learn to combine them to create a full scene or predicament. 

None of the ties in this class are complex, but tops will need a single column tie, tight tension and good rope handling to achieve the proper effect. Bottoms need experience with pain processing and communicating while in pain.

About the Educators:

Nick (he/him) has been part of the Seattle kink community since 2015 and teaching since 2018. He draws on his Brazilian jiu jitsu background and general sadism to teach us the worst/best tips for rough body play. Most of his other classes and private lessons center around rope bondage. He can be found on Instagram @Tie_Rope_Take_Photo and Fetlife @Provocations.

Val (they/them) is a bottom, kink educator and glutton for suffering. They specialize in improvisational play and maintaining in-scene relationship dynamics. They teach private lessons on rope bottoming and beginning rope classes with Full Circle Kink. They can be found on Instagram @valley_roses and Fetlife @ValleyRoses.

Interested in adding some bondage to your life but not sure where to start? This fun and accessible introductory class will introduce you to the basics of kink and rope bondage. By the time you’re done you’ll have all the skills you need to safely and confidently start exploring bondage on your own.

This is a bondage class rather than a knots class, so our focus is on teaching a small number of versatile techniques that you can use in all kinds of ways. All the ties in the class are easy to learn and can be used for many different play styles.

The point of bondage is to connect with your partner, so we’ll also cover fundamental kink concepts like consent, safewords, negotiation, and aftercare. To help you put it all together, we’ll have fun demos of the techniques in action, along with suggestions for how to figure out what kind of kink works best for you.

Single students are welcome, but this class is most fun if you take it with a partner. We’ll provide practice rope if you don’t have your own. The 38 page color handout includes all the class material as well as additional ties to practice at home.

Sometimes called consensual nonconsent or CNC, noncon roleplays can be a sticky subject. Come get unstuck — or expand your horizons — in this upbeat, engaging, funny class. We'll cover safety (of course), types of noncon scenes and the roles people take on during them, and how to communicate with your partner(s). Do you want your noncon to be brutal or tender — or both? And if you think noncon roleplays can’t be tender? You’re in for some fun surprises. Note: this class has demos.
