Next year will mark 10 years since Archaeology of Personalities was published. It introduced the concept of "the interview" as a metaphor in rope bondage to a wider audience and is still the only book that discusses rope bondage through the lens of western philosophical tradition. How do we think about rope today, compared to...

Inspired by a recent encounter, Caritia is proposing this hands-on workshop for individuals with physical and psychological challenges related to rope. Loving to be tied and tying, yet there are obstacles to addressing and adapting to the needs of the nuances of the day. This workshop will include floor work and partial suspensions only. With...

This class will explore the mathematical principles of angles, lines, and curves in rope. Through practical 2D and 3D examples, we will apply these concepts to a variety of bodies, demonstrating how mathematics can inform the accessibility, risk, and aesthetics of rope bondage. We’ll also use them to examine the structural integrity of ties, improvise...

Make the most of tying extremities in floor ties and beyond. We will cover how to tie fingers, toes, hair and faces safe(ly) to create different sensations and headspaces. We will use these elements to create the focal point of a tie rather than an afterthought. Workshop partner: Hanimal

2 days of workshops and knowledge need to go somewhere. Grab yourself or other willing people and jam, jam, jam until it's time to say goodbye (for the day). Hang out and tie, get tied, self-tie, all of the above or just watch other people be cute and ropey.  

This series allows rope facilitators to show participants how they approach intimate sessions, away from modes of teaching or performing. Come and witness an improvised intimate moment amongst people who do rope (pretty well). We will blur the lines of the private and the public, the curated and the improvised. After the session, there is...

This is a class in opposition to the often high pressures and demands of suspension, where the goal is to find ways to leave the ground without adding complication, physical strain, or pretentiousness. Perhaps we get off the ground for a moment, or a cm, or partly supported on a body/furniture, or using a pulley,...

In rope classes body manipulation is often taught to make things easier…smoother…for more cooperative and fluid transitions. In this session we will explore body handling from a different angle – turning towards discomfort, intensity and the erotic potential of pushing, pulling and using a body in awkward and challenging ways. We will play with using...

As we navigate an era where our bodies face increasing scrutiny and society becomes more rigid in binary thinking, what does it mean to engage in a rope practice? How can we communicate effectively and foster a sense of community? What role does social media play in planning and organising events like these, especially when...

Ceci will guide you through a bottom-centered exploration of headspace and playing with emotions. We will explore how to prepare a fertile ground for mood, sow the seeds of feelings, and water the fuck out of that little plant we call headspace. The aim is to move towards a more collaborative scene crafting and embrace...

Self tying is exhausting and rewarding. It's facing yourself and finding things, inner and outer. It's beauty in struggle. This is for the sensation of depth, the fucking with limbs, the reaching for deep spaces in our bodies. In this class we use a low suspension point and our own bodies to create strong sensation...

This is not a serious rope wokrshop. This is a sports day for degenerates and an extension of the infamous Hog Tie Race of 2025! Event may include - Hogtie race - Crab tie race - Agura wrestling - Escape challenge - Futomomo speed showdown Important notes: • This event will be LOUD • Please...
