Tifareth is one of the Rope Podcast hosts' favourite performers. In this episode, which continues the interview from part one (see Ep.122), we explore this topic with her, and discuss: ◦ How she developed her graceful rope handling style ◦ The drills she does and her attention to detail ◦ How she crafts her (amazing) rope performances ◦ How she works with her rope model during performances ◦ How she memorises her performances ◦ The critical role music plays in her performance and why ◦ Her new rope-photography space (Birdhouse, Toronto, Canada) and how it came to be 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.
Tifereth's introduction to rope bondage came in 2011 in the form of a surprisingly enjoyable futomomo tsuri.

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 this intimate episode, she discusses: ◦ Being banned from entering the USA, and how that changed her rope career ◦ Opening a venue and event space ◦ Her bottoming history and the injuries she was left with ◦ The challenges of being an early female rigger and how she had dealt with that ◦ How the scene has changed for female riggers over time ◦ The unique perspective she brings as a rope educator
When we get down to a lot of kinky culture, it is as much of a “fan” obsession as Star Wars or Firefly is for various sci-fi nerds. Exploring with bondage educator, energy enthusiast and erotic adventurer Murphy Blue, we discuss surviving BDSM events with success, fiction that dreams the next inspirations, bondage that supports the bond, and his love for video games in the context of how a scene can unfold. Remembering that our partners are not “bondage rides” or “stunt mannequins,” explore with Lee and Murphy as they laugh and deeply reflect their way through geekiness and sexual desires alike. *** Passion And Soul Podcast: iTunes Subscription: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-soul-podcast-by-lee/id840372122 RSS Feed: http://passionandsoul.libsyn.com/rss Past MP3 files: http://passionandsoul.libsyn.com PassionAndSoul Audio Page: http://passionandsoul.com/audio Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/erotic-awakening-podcast/passion-and-soul Erotic Awakening Network: http://www.eroticawakening.com/podcast Murphy Blue Contact Information: Website: http://www.murphyblue.com/ Fetlife: https://fetlife.com/users/14938 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/murphy.blue.9 Twitter: http://twitter.com/Bluerisk Links, Events, People and Books Mentioned: Story of O: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Story_of_O Marketplace Series: http://lantoniou.mysticrose.com/marketplace.html Equus International Pony Play Conference: http://equusippe.com/ Wizard World Comic Con: http://www.wizardworld.com/ Bondage Expo Dallas: http://www.bondageexpodallas.com/ Lochai: http://lochaistine.com/ Catherine Gross: http://foryourlifecoach.com/ Michelle Belanger Interview: http://passionandsoul.com/audio/michelle-belanger Turtle Hills Sacred Sexuality Beltane: http://turtlehillevents.org/beltane/index.html Leather Archives & Museum: http://leatherarchives.org/ Guy Baldwin Leathers Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0Be7VLozvE Alaska Steamposium: http://alaskasteamposium.com/ H.P.

Author, occult expert, psychic vampire, and television personality Michelle Belanger joins us to talk about subtle activism, the rabbit hole of gender issues, and her newest book “Conspiracy of Angels.” From sexism in publishing to energetic connections in personal relationships, she shares her approaches to communicating in the cultural “mother tongue” of the person she is communicating with. With her fiction work depicting action without obligatory romance based on her perceived gender, she also addresses the issue of romance that is more teeth and claw rather than bouquets of roses. Walking between the worlds of kinky player and television psychic, intersex awareness and spiritual populations, vampirism and publishing, Michelle helps us all look at how we can each walk between worlds with grace and strength alike. *** Passion And Soul Podcast: iTunes Subscription: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-soul-podcast-by-lee/id840372122 RSS Feed: http://passionandsoul.libsyn.com/rss Past MP3 files: http://passionandsoul.libsyn.com PassionAndSoul Audio Page: http://passionandsoul.com/audio Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/erotic-awakening-podcast/passion-and-soul Erotic Awakening Network: http://www.eroticawakening.com/podcast Michelle Belanger Contact Information: Website: www.michellebelanger.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Michelle-Belanger/72962712212 Blog: https://talespeaker.wordpress.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sethanikeem Links, Events, People and Books Mentioned: Conspiracy of Angels by Michelle Belanger (Pre-order): http://www.amazon.com/Conspiracy-Angels-Novels-Shadowside-1/dp/1783297336/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=pass-20 Wicked Kisses (my collection of erotic short fiction): www.amazon.com/dp/1453725369/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=pass-20 Gathering 2015: http://kheperu.org/gatherings/gather-2015/ Shibaricon (use the code MORESHIBARI for a discount): http://shibaricon.com/ International Mr. Leather (IML): http://imrl.com/ Arizona Power Exchange (APEX): http://www.arizonapowerexchange.org/ Spirit of Desire: Personal Journeys in Sacred Kink: http://www.amazon.com/Spirit-Desire-Personal-Explorations-Sacred/dp/0557992419/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=pass-20 Titan Publishing: http://titanbooks.com/ Intersex: http://www.isna.org/faq/what_is_intersex Watcher Angel Tarot: http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/watcher-angel/ Bruce Jenner Trans Interview: http://abcnews.go.com/2020/fullpage/bruce-jenner-the-interview-30471558 The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland by Catherynne Valente: www.amazon.com/Girl-Circumnavigated-Fairyland-Ship-Making/dp/1250010195/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=pass-20 Daddy by Madison Young: www.amazon.com/Daddy-A-Memoir-Madison-Young/dp/0985490284/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=pass-20 Michelle as Psychic on Paranormal State: http://mrss.aetv.com/paranormal-state/meet-investigators/michelle.jsp David Wraith on the Passion And Soul Podcast: http://passionandsoul.com/audio/wraith-podcast SMART Energy group: https://fetlife.com/groups/37598 House Kheperu: http://www.Kheperu.org Victor Turner and Communitas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communitas Lee's Upcoming Events/Appearances: http://passionandsoul.com/appearances/ Lee Harrington Contact Information: http://www.PassionAndSoul.com http://www.FetLife.com/passionandsoul http://twitter.com/#!/PassionAndSoul https://www.facebook.com/lee.harringon https://www.facebook.com/passionandsoul

Gray lays out the bare bones of the 2013 Shibaricon Concerns as well as the event's Response, with minimal commentary and hope for the future. If you're tired of that whole thing, skip up to 19:33; it's on to happier subjects as the Switches at the GRUE Pitt 3 Fishbowl talk about the fun of playing both sides! This podcast is sponsored by the Devils Mask Society and listeners like YOU.
On this episode we talk to Birdman before and after his adventures at Shibaricon. We hear about what the event is like from someone that was there. Shibaricon is a annual event that takes place in Chicago.
Get a taste of kink history as we interview Master Dave, a Los Angeles-based kinkster who has been doing this kind of thing for half a century. Then Gray does a post-RopenSpace wrap up with some of the facilitators, talking about the highlights of Friday afternoon at Shibaricon.
With Shibaricon the week this podcast goes/went live, Lee takes some time to reflect how far the event has gone since its debut in 2004. 10 events later, it has become the hub of a rope bondage community that did not exist before its inception, speaking volumes about how if just one person has a dream, and takes actions towards it, it can change so many lives. From memories and funny stories to connection and play, Lee dances with rope on his lips and lays out a few bits to chew on along the way.
