Join Our Next Circle

Isn’t it so often complicated?
This is the place for that.

a moderated online discussion space where rope practitioners can reflect together on the difficult, ambiguous, and meaningful situations that arise in rope.

  • This monthly online circle is a moderated discussion space where rope practitioners reflect together on real dilemmas that arise in rope practice.

    Each session opens a theme and participants are invited to bring experiences, questions, or situations they are navigating. The group reflects together on questions around risk, consent, emotional intensity, and care in rope.

    You are welcome to share or simply listen.

    This is not a class and not therapy. It is a facilitated peer discussion space

  • Each session lasts about 75–90 minutes and follows a simple structure:

    • Short opening and framing

    • Participants bring dilemmas or questions

    • Group reflection and discussion

    • Closing reflections

    You can participate actively or simply listen.

    Participants may also submit dilemmas anonymously before the session.

    Confidentiality and respectful listening are expected from everyone in the space.
