Rope Jam and Tea

We are back with another Rope Jam and Tea with Niuka Tea service on March 22!

Come do some rope, and relax in our cozy tea lounge and sip some tea!

All levels welcome and encouraged to participate.

Doors Open at 2pm. We will close doors at 3:30; please plan to arrive before then.

Tea service is included in your jam ticket. We will have a special tea lounge area set up for this event only!

If you'd like to tip our wonderful tea-server Alexander, please bring cash or Venmo abilities. He will also have NIUKA Tea products for sale (and they are SOOO good, highly recommended!)

If you are new to rope jams and want to learn a bit more before attending, READ MORE HERE! (scroll down until you see 'Q: What is a Rope Jam?')

** Please keep in mind that there is no formal instruction offered at rope jams **

Rope Jams are a great event to:

  1. get inspired by people practicing rope at all levels and witness a diversity of style and approach
  2. practice the technique you have been learning in a class
  3. meet people in the rope community, get to know the studio, ask questions and learn about our Core Curriculum and other offerings
  4. be a part of a sex and body positive, welcoming atmosphere!
  5. this is NOT a play party, but rather a playful jam
  6. no penetrative play allowed
  7. no exchange of bodily fluids (ok, except kissing, that's fine)
  8. nudity is fine; be sure to know where the supplies are to clean the mats after you tie
  9. remember you are at a group event; we invite you to be part of creating the mood without overwhelming the mood of others, whether with the amount of sound you make or space you take up
  10. still have questions? Please email us at voxbody@gmail.com for clarity or ask a Vox liaison at the event.

About Niuka Tea:

Steeping professionally since 2008, at the inception of "Om Shan Tea" in San Francisco's Mission District, founder Alexander Friend is a pioneer of resurgent tea culture in the Bay Area.

He is an herbalist and creator of all NIUKA's original botanical tea formulas, designing each blend with organic, fair-trade herbs that work together to nourish the body while featuring outstanding flavor profiles as complex, refined and delectable as well-crafted wine.

Many of his herbal tea blends showcase "adaptogenic" herbs that work together to promote natural homeostasis - balance - in the body. These blends pair beautifully with heirloom, single-origin Camellia teas, which are handpicked on small, organic and biodynamic farms in China, where the crafts of cultivating and processing the finest teas in the world is a multi-generational legacy.

It is Alexander's mission to provide humanitarian aid for the modern world in the form of tea and its ancient, deeply human ceremony that is adaptable to any walk of life. That we may reclaim our ability to be present and strive to embody this sentiment of his favorite quote:

"The most important thing is to enjoy your life, without being fooled by things." Shunryu Suzuki, Japanese Zen priest and founder of the San Francisco Zen Center
