To start... what is a rope jam?
Rope Jams are casual and recurring events to meet people who love shibari.
You can be a rigger, a model or both, you can join by yourself or with your partner(s), you can tie at your level (from beginners to advanced) and have your safe space to experience your session as you want it, surrounded by other shibari lovers.
All roles, levels, styles are welcome, in a safe environment where there's space for other people's experience, abilities and kinkies.
This rope jam is for queer people and great allies only. Can you respect identities, bodies and humanities? You are more than welcome!
Do you want to know more? Read the FAQ or ask me.
How does it work?
The doors open at 7 pm and stay open until 10.
If you are a complete beginner please write to me in private to reserve your spot at the intro!
What should I bring?
All ropes, gear, safety cutter, carabiners, etc you'll need.
We have rings and bamboo but you can also bring your own.
Please bring a blanket or towel to put on the yoga mats we provide.
FAQ
Who can join?
This rope jam is for queer people and allies only.
What is an Ally?
A good ally is someone who really takes care of marginalized people and groups.
If you are not a queer person you can consider yourself a good ally if:
- you don't presume people's gender, nationality, orientation, relationships.
- you confront your prejudice and bias
- you acknowledge your own privilege.
- you take care to respect and remember people's pronouns.
Are pictures allowed?
You can take pictures of YOUR OWN session, any pic of someone else is strictly forbidden, as pictures of the whole room.
Is this a class/workshop?
No. This is not a teaching space, you will not receive advice about what to practice, but you can ask some peer help.
Is nudity welcome?
This space is a sex neutral one. To protect everyone's experience, nudity is not allowed.
Can I eat or drink in the space?
You can drink in the casual room.
It is not allowed to eat in the areas, but you can have an after session snack in the kitchenette.
Is the space accessible?
Unfortunately this space is on the second floor.
Can I join by myself?
You are more than welcome, ask for an intro so we can help you to know the event better and, maybe, introduce you to some other newbie :)
I've never tied with someone so I don't know if I can join.
YES! This is the perfect way to start, join, grab a cup and sit in the casual room! You will find inspirations and, probably, someone who has a style that you like and want to start with.
I don't have money but I would love to participate
