Participation is always optional. You may observe, practice at your own pace, or choose not to participate at all. There is no pressure.

Rope types and safety tools
How to negotiate touch and boundaries
The Single and Double Column Tie
An arms free chest harness
What to expect at rope events

These materials are designed to reinforce what you learn and give you something to return to later.

What to Bring

A government issued ID for waiver and check in
No rope is required for the class itself

What to Wear

Wear clothing that feels comfortable and allows you to sit, stand, and move.

For those being tied during LAB, form-fitting clothing works best and helps the rope sit correctly on the body. Sports bras are recommended. Loose or bulky clothing can interfere with the placement of the rope. Clothing choice is optional during LAB. Participation choices are always personal.

For those tying, wear anything you are comfortable moving in.
