Shibari, rope and rope jams in Vancouver

Vancouver has a smaller but tight-knit scene, with a handful of studios hosting most of what happens. The three-hour gap with the East matters: the times shown here are local ones, the times on the poster.

Rope bondage has its own scene in Canada, its own studios and its own vocabulary. You will find shibari, kinbaku, and plenty of people who simply tie without putting a label on it. Several cities have an active group and, most weeks, at least one gathering.
