Frequently Asked Questions
1
What is Ember Society?
We are focused on teaching elevated education in Shibari, Embodiment, Kink, BDSM Culture, and community. We offer classes, workshops, and events designed to support learning, connection, and exploration at all experience levels at reasonable and sliding scale costs, because Kink Education should be accessible to everyone
2
Do I need any experience to attend?
Many of our classes are designed specifically for beginners.
You don’t need prior experience. Some classes will be more intermediate to advanced and will state on the event what is required to attend.
3
What is the studio's risk model?
Everything we do is built on the PRICK consent model — Personal Responsibility, Informed, Consensual Kink — which means every person is responsible for communicating honestly, acting with care, and respecting others.
4
Do I need to bring anything?
Wear comfortable clothing you can move in, mats, and water.
If a class requires specific materials, it will be listed in the event description. Rope is not required for most beginner classes.
5
Do I need to come with a partner?
You’re welcome to attend solo or with a partner.
Some classes include partner-based learning, but there are always options to observe, learn, or participate at your comfort level.

Is this a safe and respectful space?
Yes. Ember Society is built on consent, communication, and respect. We are committed to creating an environment where boundaries are honored and everyone can feel supported in their learning.

What if I feel nervous or unsure?
That’s completely normal. Trying something new especially in a new space can feel intimidating. You’re not expected to know everything. Just showing up is enough.

Where should I start?
If you’re new, we recommend starting with beginner-friendly classes, and community events. These are designed to help you ease into the space and get comfortable.

What are your consent guidelines?
