Rope isn't just abo ut knots\, frictions\, and patterns...it's about communication.\n\nIn th is class\, we will talk about how important rope tension is in building a rope connection. We will go over a handful of technical aspects of con trolling tension so you can modulate the pressure\, lock in various tens ions\, and we will lab so attendees learn not just to control their rope tension but what INTENTION certain tensions convey. We will talk about how to use tension to listen\, assess\, and then communicate.\n\nIf you missed the earlier classes on single columns\, frictions\, and connectin g rope\, come right at 3pm so we can go over those skills again. If you' d like to help TA (and help a newer group learn some of the skills)\, pl ease reach out!\n\nFor those who want to drill or learn their single col umns\, here are two of my favorite tutorials: https://vimeo.com/14310961 8 (Shay w/ a larks head SC) and\nhttps://crash-restraint.com/ties/66 (To pologist's Somerville Bowline).\n\nAnytime during a Boundless event\, pl ease feel free to opt out of the facilitated activities and tie in the d esignated areas (generally the back half of the club).\n\nBring your rop e\, safety cutter\, snacks\, and your water bottle. Dress code is someth ing you can tie and/or be tied in. If you are staying for the event foll owing BRE\, please bring something you can change into. Generally\, Sanc tuary has a 'dress to impress/make an effort' dresscode for most evening events.\n\nWhat is the Boundless Rope Experience?\nWe aim for:\n\nA lea rning and labbing environment to teach one another and explore rope in c ommunity\nAn invitation to make new friends who are interested in rope\n A body neutral and welcoming event for all\nA sober\, fun\, and potentia lly sexy (but not sexual) space\nEmbracing all types/genres of rope with out judgment so long as practices are consent-forward and mitigate risk of injury\nEvery month\, MxBliss will facilitate a class with the aim of sparking conversation/debate\, sharing information\, and encouraging ex ploration. While framed as a series\, you are free to drop in at any tim e in the series. Except for the Suspension Class\, no pre-requisites for labbing. Also\, a tying partner is not required for any of the classes as most technical skills we are covering can be self-tied.\n\nBoundless Rules:\n\nAll partnered rope must be prenegotiated prior to any play/lab bing/scene\nUplines must be reinforced (reinforced jute or hemp) or synt hetic (Posh\, nylon\, MFP\, or other rope rated for marine\, climbing\, or rescue)\nNormal Sanctuary rules about prohibited play: i.e. No neck r ope\, breath-\, race-\, rape-\, or blood-/scat-/wet- play\nNo mind alter ing substances during Boundless.
