EVENT DETAILS:

For the curious and freshly exploring!! Or for those who are looking to deepen their knowledge and understanding of navigating rope and kink!

This is a foundational workshop that focuses on our fundamentals and theories on ethical practice. We will cover informed consent, negotiation, aftercare, vetting, etiquette, risk awareness, body awareness, and important anatomy. We will also demo some ties that showcase these elements so you can see a live action example of each! Additionally we'll have a Q&A so bring all your questions and curiosities!

A foundational class that focuses on soft skills, fundamentals and theories on ethical practice and a foundational tie demo with rope bondage. Content includes: informed consent, negotiation, aftercare, vetting, etiquette, risk awareness, body awareness, and important anatomy.

This class is a great place to begin for people new to rope bondage or those who would like to refresh their skills and is a prerequisite for all of our rope education, rope experience, and hybrid offerings.

Prerequisites:

RECOMMENDED ITEMS TO BRING:

Wear clothing that allows you to feel comfortable, empowered or expressive. This is not a play party and all guests will be encouraged to come in clothing that comfortable and/or expressive in ways that feel good to them but required to keep under garments on and pelvic area covered. We suggest something that you might wear to move freely without feeling restricted. Separate top and bottom that allows you to expose legs, arms, and belly may feel good for the interactive portions of this workshop but is optional.

Please bring anything else that allows you to feel comfortable and we ask that you limit usage of strong perfumes/aromas to support a variety of sensory needs. Here's a list of items we use throughout most of our events, classes + workshops that will support your experience.
