A rope hangout is a welcoming, peer-to-peer space where we research rope together, connect, and explore in a relaxed, pressure-free atmosphere, no matter your experience level. All forms of rope bondage (Japanese inspired shibari/kinbaku, western style bondage, decorative macrame…) are warmly invited.
Whether you feel like tying or simply being present, you’re welcome here. Enjoy non-alcoholic drinks, snacks, and easy conversation — sometimes just showing up is enough. There’s no pressure to perform, teach, or know anything in advance. Curiosity and your (imaginary) lab coat is all you need to bring.
This month’s special focus: Engineering
This one is for the nerds and geeks! Compare knots, build pulley systems, go into the little details of tension in a harness. Focus on the details and put an unnecessary amount of effort and joy into the tiniest changes in technique.
The theme is an open invitation rather than a guideline. You’re always encouraged to follow your own interests, bring questions, share experiences, or simply observe and take it all in. The space is shaped by what each person brings into it.
Note: This is not a rope jam/play space. Rope Hangout is a peer learning environment.
