Intimate Mummification
October 30 @ 6:30 pm – 9:30 pm PDT
For this session, participants are invited to explore intimacy in the process of mummification. As a form of heavy bondage, mummification has been described as a way to feel, to not feel, to heal and to submit, but what if it is also a way to connect with someone or yourself intimately? Let’s explore that! You can also expect to exchange experiences, stories and tips with other attendees.
All levels are welcome. We encourage you to bring a material – can be any type – with you for mummification. If this is your first dips into mummification and you are not sure what media you’d like to use, rope can do too! You do not need a partner for this workshop – come as you are.
About the instructor
My name is Shayna. I like bondage art, especially heavy bondage such as mummification. When I participate in these activities, I’m interested in expressing and exploring connection between humans under the cultural and social contexts we are/were in. How do we approach intimacy with our own baggage, is something I think about a lot.
