Rope x Chronic Pain: Part 2 - Floor & Bed Work

Let’s destroy the myth that people in chronic pain & disabled folx cannot tie or be tied! There are myriads of ways in which rope can be accessible, pleasurable, and helpful for our chronically painful bodies.

This workshop introduces rope at the intersection of chronic pain & disability. We’ll workshop how to tie on the floor/chair/bed etc. for sustainable and fun rope sessions.

This workshop is part of a series that Almond offers throughout the year.

Rope x Chronic Pain: Part 1 – Intro For Those Of Us In Pain

Rope x Chronic Pain: Part 2 – Floor Work

Rope x Chronic Pain: Part 3 – Intro For Allies 

Rope x Chronic Pain: Part 4 – Suspension

Who is this for:
This workshop is written for folx who have stayed away from rope because of their pain, for folx who love/play/tie with people in chronic pain & for folx who want to expand their understanding of these topics. You’re welcome whether or not you’re in chronic pain. You’re welcome whether you’re an absolute beginner or a seasoned rope lover.

Who is this event for?

LGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity, meaning: lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer/fluid, queer, intersex, asexual, aromantic, agender.

Friends describes people of any and all kinds of gender and sexual identities who are aware and respectful of the necessity, needs, and boundaries of a queer safe(r) space and its marginalized community.

When you consider yourself a friend you show acknowledgement to and are respectful of everyone’s self-expression and do not assume, presume or project non-consensual ideas onto others. You actively request and use people’s chosen pronouns. You remain mindful of the fact that Karada House is first and foremost a space for queer people that you are also invited to attend. You have a genuine concern for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and remain in awareness of heterosexual and gender straight privileges.

Friends don’t have to be perfect. None of us are. We request that we all pro-actively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
