What:

Expanding on learning form in its complexities across the whole body, building muscle memory for your foundations along the way.

Explore the depths of concepts where nuances, influences, consent, safety and practical applications converge. Broaden your skillset that goes further than simply tying knots.

Experience a range of diverse teachers over the month. Drawing from various disciplines to widen your knowledge of this beautiful art form.

Where:

Housed in a beautiful natural light filled space, that at its Grass Roots holds values for community, connection and inclusivity which send a positive vibe the moment you walk in the door. The added benefit of onsite parking is certainly a privilege!

Why:

You have completed beginner one and two and must feel super proud of your achievements. It is time to level up and get ready to find comfort at Intermediate One. This will expose you to a series of ties across the whole body and build your awareness into safer practices!

It does not matter your age or identity, we welcome all humans who share a common interest in making connections, building community, and exploring the space of shared experience in rope.

If there is a particular harness you have been wanting to try - now is your chance!

Facilitator for July:

Jess (she/they) or @starlove began learning rope in 2015 based out of Brisbane. She has been teaching with Peer Rope Melbourne since May 2023 and took over ownership in Dec 2025.

Their approach to teaching is an eclectic mix and knowledge of various Japanese rope bondage styles. This informs their own unique style of facilitating to deliver their insights into the deeper meanings behind the practices of Shibari/Kinbaku.

Teaching the 'why' we do what we do to consider safety and technical engineering. She believes in a 360 degree learning experience, workshopping ideas, focussing on model led teaching, and embodies the somatic aspects to rope bondage.

Jess is a registered, trauma trained psychotherapist using an integrative approach with the modality of DMT (dance movement therapy). @Soma_Studio
