Workshops
Bondage for Connection and Flow
Expectations are first communicated verbally, verbal communication becomes implicit, implicit communication becomes habits, habits become norms and norms become ways to communicate without talking. The purpose of this workshop is to discuss concrete approaches to build connection and experience flow. The class will apply flow motivation theory to explain the process. Although the class is based on an academic concept the lecture will last 10-15 minutes and the rest of the class will be hands-on learning. The activities can be completed with or without rope. If you bring rope you will need 1-2 hanks of role between 22-25 feet or 7 - 8 meters. The diameter should be 1/4 to 3/8 inches or 4-6 mm. Tying with a partner is idea, but it isn't necessary,
