Description:
This free-flowing ground rope & impact play workshop is for beginners, intermediates and anyone else interested in rope!
Your facilitator SUR (Grounded Ropez), along with their rope bottom Sasha Jones, will demonstrate single column floor rope ties & innovative grounded rope sequences - don’t worry, it won’t get too technical!
Tutorials shown will allow the bottom to be put into a floor predicament, keeping in mind adaptations and accessible positions for both parties. You will also learn to incorporate impact play to enhance the experience!
Explore body mapping, learn about safe zones, nerves and discover how to work with the chemistry of the body.
Rope bottom Sasha will also be discussing how to bottom safely & what it means to use your voice as a bottom!
Come with a consenting friend to tie with or come alone & take notes!
