Yay! Shay Tiziano is back for another series of self-tie rope jams this fall!

Self-tying can be used to explore intense sensation, practice mindfulness, build partnered bondage skills, as a ritual, and more. Come learn and tie in the beautiful new VoxBody Studio surrounded by other self-bondage aficionados! This self-tie rope jam includes a friendly and approachable beginning-level floorwork class, followed by an Open Space style event with opportunities to share knowledge, spot for each other, practice, and socialize. If you have an interest in self-tying, we'd love to see you there! 

Schedule: 

7:30pm: Doors open for arrival (doors will not remain open during the event, so please arrive by 7:45pm) 

7:45 - 8:45pm: Introductory self-tying lesson 

8:45 - 9:30pm: Option for Open Space-style peer-led topics – come with requests for ties/topics you want to learn or ties/topics you want to share! – or practice and socialization. Hardpoints will be available for experienced folks to use during the jam and wind-down time (but not the lesson time). Attendees are expected to have the risk awareness and self-knowledge to participate at a level that is safe(r) for them.

9:30 - 10pm: Free play, socialization, and wind-down 

The introductory lesson will be different for each of these three sessions, aside from always including Shay's 5-Minute Safety Speed Round (so she can sleep at night), intention, and rope handling basics. No rope experience is necessary – these are welcoming, raw-beginner-level classes.

• September: Mindfulness and Flow for self-tying. Content includes two basic single column ties for self-tie floorwork, free-form spiral-style floor self-bondage, and applying three key aspects of flow states to bring yourself into the present with self-bondage.

• October: Aesthetics and Pressure. Content includes discussion & practice of decorative and compression-based self-ties, including exercises focused on aesthetic intention and tension explored through an ornamental body harness and variation on a mermaid tie.

• November: Shapes and 8's. Content includes variations on gauntlets, weaving, and introduction to figure 8-pattern floor ties including a crossed leg tie.
