Suspension is suspension whether you are 2 inches, 2 feet or 20 feet off the ground. Yes, sometimes added height can be an advantage for certain types of play or for “showy” or performance art scenes, but I have discovered some of my sexiest and most intimate suspension play can happen when my partner is barely off the floor. These days I love to slide in underneath them and lie on my back while they are hanging there just above me barely a breathy kiss distance away as I languishly run my nails across their body. Ahhh yes, there is much that can be said and relished about low to the ground suspension work and this is also a great way to get a feel for and experience with suspension while minimizing risks associated with falls from higher altitudes.

In this hands on class we will explore some ways to play with partial and full suspensions that are close to the ground. My preference would be that you attend my earlier class “Fun with Floor work” as a pre requisite but if you have at least a good solid intermediate level knowledge of bondage and can demonstrate thus, then you may attend. As always please bring your rope bag, a partner if you have one, and a pillow or blanket if you are able as we will ALL be on the floor for at least part of this class. If you are single looking to tie or be tied come on down and we will do our best to pair folks up for practice purposes.

Have you ever wanted to add a more “magical” element to your play? Or perhaps you have a yearning to build on the trust and intimacy already present between you and partner and transform it into something even more special. Most of us have a desire to share great levels of love, intimacy and connection with our chosen partners but think that that kind of connection and magic in a scene either just happens or takes a long time to build. This does not have to be the case. I believe that anyone can transform their play and other intimate relationships by understanding each other's intention and desires and by focusing on staying connected to each other during the scene.

This class focuses on understanding what drives us internally to engage in “what it is that we do” as well as exploring and expanding your use of specific intention to guide a scene and create a deeper and more meaningful shared experience for you and your partner. We will also explore what it means to be energetically connected to our play partners and others through the practice of some verbal as well as non verbal communication skills. We will use several tools and experiential exercises that will help you to strengthen intimacy, and create a stronger sense of purpose in your scenes. It is my belief that incorporating some of these practices into your play is one way to take your experience beyond the physical into the realm of the energetically ecstatic and spiritual.
