Let's explore some of the more commonly used bondage knots\, fri ctions\, and counter tension techniques and why you might want to use on e technique over another. We will also explore ways to connect rope. As always\, this is a community teaching/learning environment so if you alr eady have these skills mastered\, would love your assistance in bringing others along!\n\nFor this class\, we will break up into two groups:\n\n Folks who have a single column in muscle memory and want to dive into the magical world of frictions.\n Folks who want to learn their first s ingle column to learn the larks head single column and somerville bowlin e\n\nFor those who want to drill or learn their single columns\, here ar e two of my favorite tutorials: \;https://vimeo.com/143109618 \; (Shay w/ a larks head SC) and\nhttps://crash-restraint.com/ties/66 \ ;(Topologist's Somerville Bowline).\n\n\n\nAnytime during a Boundless ev ent\, please feel free to opt out of the facilitated activities and tie in the designated areas (generally the back half of the club).\n\nBring your rope\, safety cutter\, snacks\, and your water bottle.

Generall y\, Sanctuary has a 'dress to impress/make an effort' dresscode for most evening events.\n\nWhat is the Boundless Rope Experience?\nWe aim for:\ n\n A learning and labbing environment to teach one another and explore rope in community\n An invitation to make new friends who are interest ed in rope\n A body neutral and welcoming event for all\n A sober\, fu n\, and potentially sexy (but not sexual) space\n Embracing all types/g enres of rope without judgment so long as practices are consent-forward and mitigate risk of injury\n\nEvery month\, MxBliss will facilitate a c lass with the aim of sparking conversation/debate\, sharing information\ , and encouraging exploration. While framed as a series\, you are free t o drop in at any time in the series. Except for the Suspension Class\, n o 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\n All partnered rope must be prenegotiated prior to any play/labbing/scene\n Uplines must be reinforced (reinforc ed jute or hemp) or synthetic (Posh\, nylon\, MFP\, or other rope rated for marine\, climbing\, or rescue)\n Normal Sanctuary rules about prohi bited play: i.e. No neck rope\, breath-\, race-\, rape-\, or blood-/scat -/wet- play\n No mind altering substances during Boundless.
