The Pan Eros Foundation is pleased to create space for people to meet, talk, and share conversation and ideas. Each month, Pan Eros will host a discussion at Gallery Erato with a different topic to encourage the sharing of ideas and to create and expand communities. Pan Eros means “all love” and we support participants in cultivating and celebrating their sexuality. To support this mission, our monthly discussion topics will range among the educational and artistic realms.

Our goal in hosting these meetings is to grow a community that has rich conversations about sexuality. By fostering open discussions, we hope to end the stigma around sex and sexuality so that people may live more authentically and happily.

All sexes, genders, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, relationship orientations, and religions are welcome and celebrated. Kindness and a willingness to respect another point of view are expected.

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.

About the Educators:

Dan (Nerves of Purple) (he/him) is a queer, top-leaning rope switch based in Seattle. He has been active in the rope scene since 2017. His style of rope is best characterized as sensual, functional, and connective. With a medical background in neuroanatomy, he takes an analytical approach to rope, with an emphasis on nerve and body safety. He performs as a duo with Esjay the Dreamer. Their joint mission, with Esjay, is to promote shibari as a movement and performing art.

Esjay the Dreamer (they/them) is a queer, trans, bottom-leaning power switch based in Seattle. As a circus and flow artist, movement and physical fitness are their life, and are passions that they bring to their rope practice. Their educational style emphasizes body and emotional nourishment, as well as playfulness and fun. They perform shibari as a duo with Nerves of Purple, as well as various disciplines with other circus partners, including aerial and flow arts. Their joint mission, with Dan, is to promote shibari as a movement and performing art.
