Description
VoxBody is pleased to host our first Rope Bottoms Corner for 2025! Bottoms, riggers, switches and self-tiers, join us for these quarterly rope bottoming-focused events!
Each event will begin with a speaker-led topic by one of our amazing local rope bottoms. Topics will vary with each event and will be announced ahead of time. The second half of the event will be facilitated open discussion.
Anyone interested is welcome to attend, no experience necessary. Please keep in mind this is bottoms-centered content, and discussions will aim to explore rope from the perspective of the rope bottom.
We welcome AtaraxyBound and Cache on March 9 for a discussion on:
Aging in Rope
What does it mean to age as a rope bottom? Whatever age you are today - you’re getting older every day. What will change in your mind, body and emotions over time as you get older and continue to be tied? This session will explore strategies for staying physically strong and flexible, navigating the shifting tides of one’s psyche and emotions, and weaving the accumulation of life experiences into your personal rope story. ataraxy_bound and cache will create space for a vulnerable, open and candid discussion of this important topic.
As with all Rope Bottom Corner events, everyone is welcome to attend. However, this particular session will seek to center the experience of those 40 and over who bottom in rope.
Doors open at 11:15am. Please aim to arrive and be settled in for an 11:30 start time. We would love to leave as much time as possible for open discussion and therefore want to start on time!
Come for the bottoms corner, stay for the jam! Rope Jam will run 2-5pm, and tickets can be purchased here.
A few notes about this event:
- tickets are per individual. It is not necessary to attend with a partner; however, we do encourage riggers to attend classes and events on rope bottoming.
- no rope or gear necessary for class.
- tea and water will be provided. There are cushions and pillows for sitting on the floors, and chairs available. If you don't see what you need to sit comfortably for this event, please ask a VoxBody liaison!
