ABOUT
Diamond Jam - Beginner & Intermediate Friendly
Description
Embodiment Rope Space is welcoming and safe(r) space for members of the LGBTQIA+ community and allies. We practice rope communally and host occasional workshops for upskilling the community. Rope is never safe, there are only ways to do it more safely.
Absolute beginners and experienced rope practitioners are welcome. Rope Jams are spaces where you can come and practice rope tying in a peer-to-peer based setting. Singles, couples, throuples, etc are all welcome. Switching is allowed and encouraged.
Kay (@faeriebunny) & @rope.fu will be running a diamond jam.
They will both be running two different sections:
Kay will be teaching two self tie diamonds on the chest. This is beginner friendly
@rope.fu will be teaching the intermediate group on a more advanced tie. Partners are required for this & a basic understanding of rope work is also a must.
Events start promptly at 19:00. Please DM us via Instagram if you are running late. Doors open at 18:40 and are closed at 19:10. We will be strict about this because late-coming can be very disruptive to those in the space. Pre-booking is essential (cash on the night is available by arrangement via Instagram DM). Please have your tickets ready to be scanned on arrival.
We have limited treated rope from Sudo Jute for sale and safety shears. Non-alcoholic drinks (coke, water, tea, coffee) will also be for sale.
Come dressed however you like - comfy, sexy, sporty, fetish. As long as your booty is covered, you are welcome here.

FAQ
What is Shibari/Kinbaku/Bondage?
The art of binding the body of a consenting adult.
Is rope always sexual?
Rope has many benefits and practitioners outside of the sexual paradigm. For some, it is about pushing their bodies not unlike engaging in strenuous exercise or extreme sports. For some it is a way to reclaim their agency after trauma. For some it is a way to experience connection with others without the scripts and expectations associated with genital contact. As long as what you are doing is consensual and intentional, we consider it healthy and valid.
What should I wear?
This is a friendly learning environment, not a sexual one, so crotches are to remain covered. Other than that, you are free to wear whatever you like. We find that it is easier to tie with minimal clothing or clothing that you can move in easily (leggings, shorts, etc).
