Rope 101

Rope is a practice. It’s a sensual exercise where movement meets restriction, endurance becomes surrender, and responsibility builds intimacy.

Curious about rope, but not sure where to begin? Been to a few intro classes, but just can't seem to retain the information? Fairly experienced, and want to share what you love? This class is for you!

Thanks to community input, this introductory class will cover rope psychology, styles of play, rope selection, safety considerations, and the only three knots you really need to know to start playing. This class will be low on technical skills, but big on fun and inspiration.

What To Bring

Personal comfort items and materials for notetaking. It is helpful to bring 15 ft of rope, but I’ll have extra. If you own a bunch of rope, especially of unusual material, please bring it along so we can all admire it. Bonus points if you bring snacks or drinks to share.
