Ep122: Tifereth - The innovative, experienced rope educator shares her journey (part 1)

Tifereth's introduction to rope bondage came in 2011 in the form of
a surprisingly enjoyable futomomo tsuri. Since then she's drawn on
her dual background in high-performance athletics and figurative
arts to push herself physically and aesthetically on both ends of
the rope. Known for her dynamic style of sadism, performative rope
and creative approach to harness construction, she loves conveying
her passion through engaging hands-on methods of instruction. A
veteran educator and performer with credits including Prague
Shibari Festival, Bondage Expo Dallas, Eurix, Helsinki Shibari,
Shibaricon, as well as weekend workshops and performances all over
the globe, she is most often found wherever the weird stuff is. In
