In order to make this event more accessible to the members of our community who are extra cautious about COVID and other respiratory nasties\, we require high-quality masks. No cloth\, no paper/surgical masks. We provide a supply of free high quality masks for those who need one. If you are sick\, please stay home <3 \nWe ask that you keep your mask on as much as you can\, and that you put it on before entering the space.

All are invited to ask questions\, observe what people are doing\, give/request feedback\, show what you know or are in the midst of learning at any level. \nQuieter voices: Please default to speaking only as loudly as needed; hushed voices are great to keep the overall volume down \nStack: When having group conversations\, we recommend using a simplified “taking stack” method to help avoid speaking over and interrupting others. If you’re unfamiliar with this\, please see one of the event hosts! \nWhat to Bring:\n– A mask\, kn95 or better REQUIRED\n– Comfortable clothing suitable for movement\n– Rope (a limited amount of loaner rope may be available for use during the event)\n– A notebook or sketchbook for jotting down tips and insights\n– Ground cover if wanted\n– Ideas for things you’d like to learn or show to others \nDonations:\nThis event asks for a donation of $5.

SUMMARY:Ascent In Rope: Partials Series
DESCRIPTION:This 3-part series is designed for tying pairs who are experienced in floor rope and wish to escalate their skills by playing with gravity. Those tying will learn how to attach\, use\, and manage one or more uplines. Those being tied will learn to identify red flags in upline management\, practice bottoming skills\, and develop a better understanding of their body. Upon completing this series\, attendees will be prepared to play with simple partial suspension shapes. \nIn order to benefit from this class\, those tying should be able to confidently tie a non-collapsing single column and double column\, use simple frictions like munters and half-hitches\, and learn harnesses through demonstration. Those being tied should be comfortable voicing their rope style preferences and communicating their physical and emotional experiences while in rope. \nThese classes are crafted for partnered learning; attendees need to sign up in pairs. All tying pairs must commit to all classes in the series. \nWe encourage those who have completed the Techniques in Tying curriculum to register. Prerequisites are listed below for those who have not attended these series.

SUMMARY:Beginner Shibari
DESCRIPTION:Shibari is the Japanese-inspired practice of aesthetic rope bondage. In this foundational session\, students will learn fundamental ties and techniques to begin their rope journey. Though fundamental\, these techniques can be combined in uncountable ways to produce elaborate shapes and scenarios. Besides learning technical skills\, we will focus on rope bondage as a movement and acrobatic art\, with emphasis on flow\, aesthetics\, and partner connection. This class is appropriate for students that wish to learn shibari as a performing art\, or as a private practice. Attendees can attend solo or as a couple. \nHosted out of a circus school\, this class is ideal for folks that want to explore shibari in a non-kink environment.

SUMMARY:RBU: Munch
DESCRIPTION:RBU is a munch for anyone who receives rope. This is an event to meet and find peer support among others who are tied.

SUMMARY:RopeLab @_the_apartment
DESCRIPTION:Come hang with us at Rope Lab! This is a casual exploration into the basics of shibari and eastern rope bondage. Each session we will begin by covering the basic single column tie which is the foundation of all that we do\, and then we will explore other ties that build on that. \nDoors open at 6:30 and class will begin at 7:00 sharp. Please be sure to be on time. \nPlease come in comfortable clothes that allow for a wide range of movement. Two or three pieces of 6mm rope 24-30 ft in length will be used in each session. Mats are provided\, but a blanket is nice to place over them.\nThe ties we will focus on are best done with natural fiber rope. Jute or hemp are the preferred options.\nWe have loaner rope if you need to borrow and will usually have some on hand for sale should you want to take some home to practice.

SUMMARY:Beginner Shibari
DESCRIPTION:Shibari is the Japanese-inspired practice of aesthetic rope bondage. In this foundational session\, students will learn fundamental ties and techniques to begin their rope journey. Though fundamental\, these techniques can be combined in uncountable ways to produce elaborate shapes and scenarios. Besides learning technical skills\, we will focus on rope bondage as a movement and acrobatic art\, with emphasis on flow\, aesthetics\, and partner connection. This class is appropriate for students that wish to learn shibari as a performing art\, or as a private practice. Attendees can attend solo or as a couple. \nHosted out of a circus school\, this class is ideal for folks that want to explore shibari in a non-kink environment.

SUMMARY:Speed Tying Social
DESCRIPTION:Tops\, bottoms\, and switches will get hands-on rope practice through bite-sized sessions with each other. There is no “dating” here\, but you will meet\, tie\, and be tied. People are encouraged to attend solo\, as this is an opportunity to mix and mingle. \nPlease arrive on time in order to fully participate in all activities: \nNoon: check-in & rules\n12:15-12:45pm: socializing & “speed meeting” rounds\n12:45-1pm: break\n1-3pm: speed tying rounds\nFolks tying: bring your favorite upper body\, lower body\, and decorative harnesses out to play. You will get to tie them on different body types and shapes\, practice creativity and adaptation\, receive feedback\, and test your rope handling skills. You’ll have eight minutes to tie and untie each round\, though this precise timing may vary. \nFolks being tied: experience rope\, practice negotiating\, and compare how different patterns feel on your body. You are encouraged to share preferences or physical limitations to see how different people tying adapt their structures. \nThis is an opportunity to explore what rope can offer. To fully participate in this class\, you need to be comfortable tying and being tied by different types of people. This is a learning and practicing environment.

SUMMARY:Ascent In Rope: Partials Series
DESCRIPTION:This 3-part series is designed for tying pairs who are experienced in floor rope and wish to escalate their skills by playing with gravity. Those tying will learn how to attach\, use\, and manage one or more uplines. Those being tied will learn to identify red flags in upline management\, practice bottoming skills\, and develop a better understanding of their body. Upon completing this series\, attendees will be prepared to play with simple partial suspension shapes. \nIn order to benefit from this class\, those tying should be able to confidently tie a non-collapsing single column and double column\, use simple frictions like munters and half-hitches\, and learn harnesses through demonstration. Those being tied should be comfortable voicing their rope style preferences and communicating their physical and emotional experiences while in rope. \nThese classes are crafted for partnered learning; attendees need to sign up in pairs. All tying pairs must commit to all classes in the series. \nWe encourage those who have completed the Techniques in Tying curriculum to register. Prerequisites are listed below for those who have not attended these series.
