True Blue & Moxie

The scenario: You and your partner are tying together, you have the basic structure of a pattern complete, and you feel compelled to pick up one more rope and keep tying. Let’s explore the possibilities here, especially in the ways we communicate in rope, both verbally and non-verbally.

Leaving structure aside for a moment, what compels the person tying with ONE MORE ROPE?
What habits do you have, and which of them do you seek to break?
What feedback and response is your partner giving you, and are you receiving it?
Without the road map of a pattern, where might your hands lead you?

As the person being tied in one more rope, what are you drawn to?
What do you want and/or need more, and less, of?
In what ways do you communicate through rope, and is the message being received?
How can one more rope help you feel seen?

Through discussion prompts and hands-on exercises, Blue and Moxie will lead attendees through explorations to break habits, deeply listen to our partner, and find some unique ties along the way.

This class is aimed at attendees with a foundation of tying knowledge, including experience tying/being tied in structured patterns. The class will be hands-on for tying partners; self-tyers are welcome to participate as well. For those who get tied and are interested in the topic, please join us! You are welcome to participate in the discussion prompts throughout the class.

Blue and Moxie will be demonstrating the exercises with a hands-bound box-tie, and some talking points will address this particular type of tie. However, it is not necessary for you to know a box-tie to enjoy this class!
