About the Hosts: Lexi Friedman who has been teaching aerial silks for 5 years now, will be sharing a special aerial silk performance during the event. Lexi has a back ground in yoga and acrobatics and succeeds on bringing the circus wherever she goes!

"Whether you want to meditate, challenge yourself, or simply create, the art of shibari is practiced for many reasons for all different types of individuals. The thing that makes it so special, is that it’s for anyone. It’s a beautiful act that is shared between two people (or more), meant for sharing space, building connection and practicing consent in a safe realm. It requires trust between partners, bodily awareness, and full understanding between communication. Personally, I’ve had experience rope bottoming for a little over half a year, and the connections that I have made through rope have been some of the most meaningful interactions I’ve ever had in my life. It’s opened myself up to trusting myself even further, pushing my body to its limits to see what I’m capable of, and feeling supported by my partner through it all. For me, I love being able to relax into the ropes, let my worries all melt away, and blast off into sub space."

Mae Boyington has been bringing unique and mindful events to CT and RI. Mae hosts ecstatic dances that feature guided yoga, sound healing and cacao ceremonies, also aerial and shibari focused EDM events. With back grounds in dance, yoga and meditation, Mae has been juggling, flowing with poi, hula hoop, dragon staff, levitation wand, silk fans and fire spinning. With any of their events the goal is to bring together dance, music and community to create a space to let go and explore. Movement and community can be incredibly healing and creating spaces where that is encouraged is so important, yet can be hard to come by. Finding places where you can socialize and explore your own body in a safe judgement-free environment can be difficult. When you need a little excitement and reconnection to rejuvenate yourself from daily life, look no further! We welcome you.
