Energetic Ties That Bind (Rope play meets "Polarity at Play"

Welcome to the rope workshop that doesn’t use any rope or tie any knots! Instead, we take a deep dive into energetic connection, building intimacy, and confidently negotiating and offering/receiving conscious touch. These skills will serve you well in ALL your kink endeavors (they’re pretty useful in other areas of life, too!).

How do we play with rope…without using rope?

By interweaving rope play with the principles of “Polarity at Play” – a framework to better inform & influence interactions – we’ll learn to create & resolve intentional tension that invites peaceful, purposeful pleasure. To make plenty of room for your experience and embodied expression, we’ll go lighter on the “lecture” and heavier on the “let’s try it!”

What do you walk away with?

Through this workshop, participants will be able to:

1. Define and communicate comfortable boundaries in a community container.
2. Negotiate, offer, and receive platonic conscious touch.
3. Use “Polarity at Play” to create & resolve intentional tension between players.
4. Connect more confidently to inner, outer, and shared experiences.
5. Establish an energetic foundation for rope play (and other kink activities).

Who is this intended for?

See if you can spot yourself below:

1. New to rope and/or kink, seeking a comfortable way to get started?
2. Experienced with rope, seeking deeper presence for greater resonance?
3. Intrigued by the intersection of mind/body/spirit in sensual settings?
4. Looking for safe, comfortable ways to explore conscious touch?

PLEASE NOTE: All exercises are optional invitations. Partnered exercises are adaptable for solo exploration. Any physical interactions are framed as platonic intimacy. Please engage to your level of desire and consent, and always ask for support if needed!

About the Facilitator (IG/FL/Venmo: @CreatrixOfChaos)

Kyla is a Devotional Deviant dealing in hearts, holes, poles and souls. Primarily serving as an Initiatrix – one entrusted with facilitating vulnerable firsts – she is adept at navigating your darkest, sharpest edges because she’s spent her life examining and learning to enjoy her own. A former language and socio-emotional skills teacher, she now focuses on re-engaging, re-educating, and revealing your inner child through adult play. Her own work surrounding an early sense of un-belonging inspires her to offer spaces for intentional explorers to practice the art & science of connection, communication, and coming closer together. When it comes to surfing the waves of life’s inherent chaos, she is a true believer in harnessing the power of the “Polarity at Play” (and fervently preaches this gospel to anyone who will listen ~ please ask!).
