SUMMARY:OlyRope Peer-to-Peer Rope Skillshare (April)
DESCRIPTION:Queer- and neurodivergent-centered rope skillshare in Olympia. Learn\, practice\, and connect in a low-pressure\, consent-forward environment. All experience levels welcome! \n🎟️🎫 Advance Ticketing recommended to reserve your space 🎫🎟️ \nAdvance ticketing is the way to reserve space at the event. You can choose to show up spontaneously and pay at the door instead — just be aware that you run the risk of being turned away if we’ve sold out. \nPlease don’t hesitate to ask T (contact info below) if you need a zero-cost ticket. \nGET TICKETS HERE: https://forbiddentickets.com/events/olyrope/2026-04-11-peer-to-peer-rope-skillshare-april \nT’s sweetie Matt (@XTCatalyst) will be in town for this skillshare! It’s always so much fun to facilitate with him\, but I’ll do my best to offer self-tie options as well. The topic is still TBD\, so let us know your ideas / requests / suggestions here: (link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSchkNb9QWtxm-oAY8e1YOMRTpA1YMum_Q4KmAvA9mDdrIYlGw/viewform?usp=dialog text: OlyRope Feedback Form) or put them in the Comments section of your ticket order. \n## Who\nThis gathering is for anyone 18+ interested in exploring rope and/or helping build a thoughtful\, welcoming rope community in Olympia. \nWe center queer and neurodivergent experiences and strive to offer a space where those folks feel especially supported. \nCis/het men are welcome as participants\, as long as the intention is learning\, connecting\, and practicing nonsexual rope. This is not a place to cruise or look for partners. \nSelf-tiers are warmly welcome — most demos will include self-tie options. \n*Rope is for every body.* \n## What\nWe’ll start with a short welcome circle and consent & safety reminders\, then move into some beginner-friendly demos and exercises\, while those with more experience are free to do their own thing\, or to help the newbies keep up. There’s plenty of time for open practice and casual peer-to-peer sharing. \nYou’ll have space to:\n• tie with a partner if you attend with one\, or if you find someone you’re mutually excited to practice with\n• tie solo as a self-tier\n• practice knots\, frictions\, flow\, or concepts\n• talk\, observe\, ask questions\, contribute your own knowledge or opinions\, or simply be present \nNo one will be pressured to tie with anyone. You get to choose your level of interaction. \nThis is a social and educational space\, not a play party:\n🚫 No nudity\n🚫 No sexual activity\n🚫 No explicit scenes \nFloorwork only (no suspension points). \n## What to Bring\n🪢 Rope & safety shears (I have a few extras for newbies to borrow\, if needed)\n🥤 Water bottle\n🥨 Snacks for yourself or to share — just no eating (or shoes) on the mats\n🧸 Any other aftercare needs (blanket\, stuffy\, pillow…whatever helps you feel comfortable and grounded) \n## Where\nThe venue is conveniently located across the street from the Olympia Transit Center (bus station). (link: https://www.sparrowstudiosolympia.com/renting-the-studio text: Accessibility info is available here). The exact address will be in your order confirmation email. \n## Contact\nQuestions? Email info@OlyRope.com or text 360-409-ROPE (7673) \nCome help shape this new rope community into something *you* want to belong to. \n## About Your Host\nI’m @ComplexiT on FetLife (T/they/she)\, a queer\, femme-presenting nonbinary rope nerd\, bottom-leaning switch\, and self-suspender. \nI discovered rope in October 2024 and immediately had my mind blown 🤯😍🪢 — I wanted to learn everything I could. Since then\, I’ve taken private and group lessons\, attended workshops and events in Seattle and the Bay Area with my long-distance partner @XTCatalyst (who co-facilitates the group with me when he’s in town)\, and supplemented with online study and independent practice. \nI’m building the @OlyRope community to create a space that’s safer\, kinder\, and more accessible for LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent rope lovers in the South Sound. \nI facilitate in a collaborative\, peer-led style\, and I demo many techniques as self-ties so folks without partners have concrete\, empowering ways to engage with rope. My goal isn’t to be “the authority” on anything — it’s to help cultivate a space where it feels natural and comfortable for all of us to learn from each other. \n## I’ve adopted the (link: https://meerkatagenda.com/kems text: KEMS code of conduct) and have nothing to disclose.
