erin’s rope thing (beginner/intermediate)

Cost:sliding scale… donate whatever you can afford
Dress code:comfortable… like yoga or gym clothing
Description:
Erin’s rope workshops are about teaching an intuitive, flexible, consistent system of concepts that fits a variety of bondage positions, body types, and learning styles.

I started the Rope Thing in 2009 as a way to reach out to women interested in rope bondage, while still remaining open to all genders and orientations. Admission and pairing preferences go to women and queer/trans folks, guys need to be comfortable working with other guys, and everyone should be willing to switch.

I host the event out of my own space, so invites are sent out the day before the event. Invites are never guaranteed, but emailing me me to say hi always helps. Coming alone is just fine, as you’ll have a chance to pair up at the event, and rope is always available for borrowing or purchase.
