We are back with another Folsom OpenSpace! 

We couldn't let Folsom Street weekend pass us by without calling together all the visiting and local ROPE LOVERS for this OpenSpace event!

Join hosts Icky and Lief at VoxBody Studio on SATURDAY SEPT 26 for an OpenSpace-style event. A day of gathering to share rope, learn rope, teach rope, do rope. Be together.

SCHEDULE:

11:30-12:00 Doors. Come settle in and mingle with other attendees! There will be name tags and snacks, coffee and tea. (We won't be doing a names round during Opening Circle so this is your chance to meet folks before getting started!)

12:00-12:30 Opening Circle. Doors closed at this time/no late entry

12:30-4 OpenSpace style skill-share blocks. 

 4-4:30 Closing circle.  

* If this is your first OpenSpace event, being present for opening circle is imperative. 

* If you are unfamiliar with the concept of OpenSpace, we encourage you to do some research on the format before the event. They are a unique, unstructured, and energetic way for people to come together. It can feel overwhelming for some, and free and easy for others! (We recommend a keyword search of "OpenSpace meeting format" or "unconference", on the internet in general as well as on Fetlife). 

* Learning blocks are generated by attendees, and will be determined by who shows up, and what people want to share, learn, practice or discuss. Come with your questions and ideas! Got a cool new ropey thing you want to share? Are you currently puzzling over a rope conundrum? Want to have a discussion on some rope-related topic that you just can't stop thinking about? Bring all this with you and let's dive in. 

* There is space in the studio for up to 4 small groups to work at the same time.

* Please note there is no scheduled lunch break. We will keep the entire afternoon open for learning blocks, and trust that everyone will step away to eat when they need to! 

* Please be sure to schedule your day so that you are present for both opening and closing circles; it REALLY makes a difference in the cohesion of the day. 

* Multiple suspension points (bamboo and single point), hashira, room for floorwork and movement, and discussion space will be available.

* All levels welcome!

* We have limited scholarship spots available, please email us at voxbody@gmail.com to claim! 

* Undress to your level of comfort in the studio. Folsom Street weekend is a notoriously hot weekend in the Bay Area (and the studio indeed runs hot).

* Bring your rope supplies. There is limited loaner rope available at the studio. Loaner rope is for floor ties only. 

* VoxBody will provide coffee, tea, filtered water, and light snacks. 

* Please take some time to read our FAQ pagestudio policies and etiquette page. If you have any questions or concerns please email us at voxbody@gmail.com
