This program is designed for riggers, bottoms and switches with prior rope experience who wish to deepen both their technical practice and their emotional, relational, and psychological awareness.
Across ten months, participants are invited into a structured yet spacious process where skills, presence, communication, and emotional literacy evolve together.

This program values embodiment, clarity, consent, and curiosity. It offers time to build trust, to slow down when needed, and to integrate intense experiences with care and intention.

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺

  • No, and also yes in a different way.

    This is not a bootcamp for knots, friction, or foundational rope technique. We assume participants already have the basics.

    The skills we focus on are things like attunement, consent, repair, presence, atmosphere, and emotional awareness. These are sometimes called “soft skills,” but they are central to how rope feels, flows, and connects.

    Some rope technique will appear, usually conceptually or in service of the monthly theme, but not as step-by-step instruction.

  • You need some prior rope experience, but there is no rigid threshold.

    We are not teaching beginner fundamentals like knots, basic columns, or friction. We assume participants already know how to tie or be tied safely and have some familiarity with rope spaces.

    You do not need to be advanced.

    You do not need to suspend.

    You do not need to feel confident or polished.

    It is completely okay to arrive feeling unsure, in-between levels, or curious about deepening your practice in a new way.

    If you are unsure whether this fits you, you are encouraged to apply.

  • No single role is required.

    This program is open to riggers, bottoms, switches, and people who are still exploring their roles. You are welcome to shift roles during the year if that feels right.

    The focus is not on role identity, but on how you relate, notice, feel, and grow through rope.

  • No.
    You can join alone, as a couple, or in other constellations. Solo participants are fully supported.

    Couples and constellations receive a ten percent discount to make joint participation more accessible.

  • The work is emotionally meaningful, but not constantly heavy.

    Some months explore themes like fear, shame, or grief. Other months are playful, curious, connective, or light. What stays consistent is vulnerability, awareness, and care.

    The monthly rhythm is intentional and allows time to integrate between sessions. You do not need to be an intensity chaser to belong here.

  • Verbal sharing is invited, not required.

    You are never forced to share personal experiences. Silence, observing, and non-verbal participation are valid forms of engagement.

    Consent applies to emotional exposure as much as it does to rope.

  • Yes, in practice.

    The facilitation is consent-forward, trauma-aware, and attentive to different nervous systems, communication styles, and sensory needs. You are encouraged to advocate for what you need.

    If you get overwhelmed during the session, You will be supported without being “worked on.”

    Facilitation is active and attentive. If someone feels overwhelmed, we slow down, check in, and help find grounding or space. The intention is expansion through safety, not pushing past limits.

  • The group closes once it starts. Late entry is not possible.

    Participants can leave the program if it is no longer right for them. There are no refunds once the program begins. This structure exists to protect group coherence and depth.
