Juicy
Let's explore flesh and desire and everything delicious about horny, steamy, pervy feelings and situations in rope. This is not a class about being naked or tying genitals, but about finding the trembling, juicy, drooling energies and intentions in binding and being bound.

Rope for Us – By Us
BIPOC-only space for folks to explore and discuss their experiences with rope. A lab and discussion space for black, brown and indigenous folks held by Caritia to allow BIPOC folks to figure out what they want and desire in, from and within rope and rope spaces.

Dick Moves
This workshop is a very bad idea. It's an encyclopedia and peer support circle in how to be an absolute menace, chaos gremlin style, while tying. We'll focus on things that are painful, annoying, irritating, miserable, infuriating, unsatisfying, and just suck in a very fun way. We'll have a side note of bratting, but mostly...

The Single! The Column! The Tie!
Single column ties are the first structure most people learn, the starting point to many ties, the foundation of suspension lines, one of the most pervasive elements of rope play… yet they are hardly ever the centre of teaching attention. This class approaches single columns from a variety of directions - finger techniques to tie...
