Bound Together: a 2nd-base rope party

🌹 Step into a Night of Intimacy, Embodied Connection, Rope Bondage, and Play!

Join us at BOUND TOGETHER, a multi-floor, second-base rope party designed for playful presence, kinky exploration and soulful connection.

Rope is our tool for presence, curiosity, and connection. Through the unique flavors of intimacy that come with rope bondage—dominance and submission, control and surrender, pleasure and sensation—explore new ways of relating and weaving in community.

In this experimental container, we blend the communication practices and erotic exploration in kink culture with the tender-hearted connection of conscious relating. This is your invitation to explore desire and intimacy in a rope space that is alive, connected, and deeply human.

Organized by glory moonfire (Bound to Rise) + Be

✨ Choose your (Erotic) Adventure

Explore three floors of play and adventure through platonic, sensual, and erotic energies:

🫖 An exquisite tea lounge for grounding, authentic relating, cuddling, and kinky connection games

🪢 The main sensual tying space and dance floor, where we can meet with our bodies, negotiate play, and explore connection.

A cozy, squishy nook upstairs for dedicated drop-ins, rope scenes, and/or more intense play.

✨ What to Expect

A night designed for pleasure, presence, play, and exploration:

*Opening Circle to set intentions, co-create consent, and orient to the energy of the night

*Guided practices to anchor you in your body and authenticity

*Heart-opening games and authentic connection exercises

*Live sultry DJ set to inspire ambient slow and sexy vibes

*Dance floor for slow and connected partner dance connections

✨ “Second-Base” Spectrum of Intimacy

We honor the full range of connection, from tender and heart-centered to thrilling and arousing. Here is a shared language to explore intimacy safely and consciously:

Platonic: Friendly, affectionate, heart-centered, non-sexual touch. The sweetness of human connection.

Sensual: Touch that delights the body and feels enjoyable. Delicious without stoking sexual excitement.

Erotic: Interactions that turn you on, awaken sexual energy, heighten desire. This can look like: a change in energy, a flavor of touch, or sweet whispers that inspire your fantasies…

Sexual: Explicit genital play or sexual stimulation. This container does not include sexual activity.

Our container focuses on platonic → sensual → erotic, offering a framework to explore desire and connection without explicit sexual acts. This spectrum of intimacy is borrowed from Bound to Rise.
