Join Natalie Rose for an immersive one-day intensive, condensing the comprehensive Bottoming in Rope 101, 201, 301, and 401 series into six empowering hours. This workshop is thoughtfully crafted to center and empower rope bottoms, providing a journey from introductory concepts all the way to dynamic transition suspensions.

Delve into a range of topics including vetting potential rope play partners, effective negotiation techniques, mental and physical preparation for rope, distinguishing between sensations of comfort and discomfort, open communication during rope play, mindful breathing, and maintaining control over your body even while bound. Gain valuable insights into muscle control and body positioning during transitions in suspension.

While every rope journey is unique, Nat will share invaluable tips garnered from years of experience. Attendees who plan to tie should be proficient in constructing a sustainable, repeatable 10-15 minute suspension-based scene, and should bring a minimum of 12 lengths of suspension-worthy rope along with their preferred suspension equipment. The presenters will assess ties and upline proficiency for the safety of all attendees. Those who do not meet the criteria may be asked to audit that portion of the class.

For those unable to meet the tying prerequisites, we welcome you to attend and tie to your own skill level. Bring a notebook and pen to capture insights that will enrich your rope journey. Solo attendees are also encouraged to join and audit the class.

Kindly note that this workshop is exclusively focused on and for rope bottoms. Presenters will not cover patterned ties, upline management, or proper tie-offs. If your ties and uplines do not meet the safety criteria, you may be asked to refrain from participating in that particular segment. This inclusive workshop is curated to provide a secure, enriching, and empowering experience for all attendees, whether you are the person being tied or the person doing the tying. Even if you choose to audit the class, or tie to your current skill level and take notes as the curriculum extends beyond your current knowledge, you are valued and included in this transformative learning experience. Join us in celebrating diversity, empowerment, and safety in rope bondage. This workshop is most effective for a tying pair, a person to tie and a person to be tied, providing maximum effectiveness in partnered learning.

• SOLO ATTENDEES are welcome to attend and utilize a member of the Bondage Soup Flight Crew as their top.

Please refer to the CALENDAR & TICKETS tab for availability of this workshop date. To attend, each tying pair (one to tie, one to be tied) is required to acquire a single ticket. This workshop is capped at 20 tickets.

Prerequisite for this workshop:

• Bring an open mind and ready to learn.

• Bring a full suspension kit; at least 10 x 26-30 foot lengths of suspension worthy rope, 6+ weight rated climbing carabiners, and safety essentials.

• Bring a barrier to place between you and the floor.

• Bring a bottle of water with a sealable top for hydration.

If you cannot tie all of these pre-requisite ties, we invite you to attend, bring the rope that you have and tie to your skill level. Then make sure that you have a notebook and pen so that you can take notes on those things that may help you along as your rope journey advances.

We will have instructors and graduates from the 12-month Bondage Soup program, who will be available as your Flight Crew. The BoSo Flight Crew will be on hand to tie for bottoms when their top feels like the tie is beyond their skill level, so the bottom can experience the tie.

• If you are not suspending: All skill levels with a working knowledge of a non-collapsing single column tie, frictions and tensions are welcome to attend this hands-on, interactive class.

• If you intend to suspend: Participants should be capable of building a sustainable, repeatable 10–15 minute suspension-based scene with a chest harness and hip harness. Patterns and upline proficiency will be assessed by the presenters prior to allowing suspensions for the safety of the attendees.
