Finding Your Edge in Somatic Rope - Save the Date
RSVP to see full address
Description
Building body awareness prepares you for latent factors of rope play. How these factors affect both rigger and model, to experience how it feels when we dance on the edge.
This rope workshop goes further than consent and negotiation. It seeks to unpack elements of play that can arise unknowingly in rope. How do we get better prepared for the this? Here, ethical empowerment through rope, regardless of our role, will be experienced at the edge.

This workshop comes with a disclaimer. Your participation is an active consent to explore your edges in rope. The container being created is to fabricate a controlled environment through edge play and work as a collective body through the experience. Numbers will be limited as a result.
What you can expect:
- Technical knowledge around somatic rope, including our autonomous nervous system, held energy in fascia and working with biofields.
- Tools to negotiate the edges as a non-verbal response in context to our intentions, body image & identity.
- Exposure to the felt sense of finding an edge and creating a language around that to build a safer container in your play.
What you need:
- Your own rope kits
- Have completed a pre-negotiation check in between both model and rigger within 24hrs of workshop or, best practice on that morning before arrival.
- BYO yoga mats (if available), water bottle & warm layers.
