This class delves into Ichinawa, the minimalist and fluid style of shibari that uses a single rope—typically without a fixed pattern—to bind the body. Historically developed with petite, flexible, femme bodies in mind, this class explores how to make Ichinawa accessible, connected, and comfortably uncomfortable for a variety of bodies and intentions.

Queerope can be a lot to navigate. You have already made it through the intro session and lunch, congrats! Before you dive deeply into the next five days, Sophia Rose will help you check in, find good coping strategies and skills you can apply to make the most out of Queerope without frying your brain...

This jam is all about being slow, tying slowly, arriving in the space, your roles and your body. Hang out and tie, get tied, self-tie, all of the above or just watch other people be cute and ropey.  

This workshop offers a space to connect with another person through movement and body awareness. The goal is simple but meaningful: to let two people move together in harmony, without speaking — just by being present, breathing, and paying attention to each other. Through small and progressive exercises in pairs and in groups, we’ll explore...

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...
