What’s My Risk Profile? Pt 2

Part of Rebound Week! This session is making a special return until September 28.

Part 2: Managing the risk, minimizing the harm

Class type: Lecture and demo
Level: All levels
Duration: 90 minutes
Props: note-taking tools optional

Understanding and assessing risk is essential for navigating rope, play, and intimacy with confidence. In this two-part class, we explore personal risk profiles – how we each perceive and approach risk – and develop practical strategies for making informed, embodied choices. Through discussion and demo, and accompanied by tailored workbook exercises, we’ll cover physical, emotional, and social risks, as well as harm reduction and risk management approaches tailored to different needs and dynamics. Whether you’re new to risk assessment or looking to refine your decision-making skills, this class offers tools for self-awareness, communication, and safer exploration.

Part 2: Managing the risk, minimizing the harm

Building on our exploration of risk, this class focuses on how we make decisions in uncertain or high-stakes situations.

We’ll explore practical frameworks for assessing and communicating risk, setting boundaries, and negotiating consent in dynamic contexts. This session will help you refine your decision-making process and stay connected to your needs and limits, supporting you in developing tools to navigate risk with more clarity and confidence.

This class is led by Tut Bar, owner of Berlin’s KOR shibari and embodiment space, teaching together with kink educator and performer Saara Rei.

    This series and this class in particular helped me think about risk and consent in an entirely new way. Noticing what we love and desire, what we are drawn to and lights us up, is as important as noticing what we dislike. I’ve been able to use this info to better label and understand myself as a rigger and better connect with my bottoms. Thanks as always 💛
