Join us, let’s tie!
Our Salon is a cosy mix of social and play.
Come alone or with company and follow the pull of connection.
Whether you want to tie, be tied or switch roles, you are invited to follow your own rhythm.
Ropes are our love language. Let’s speak it together.
What to expect?
We begin with a brief introduction circle to see who’s in the room and what people feel open to that night. This helps set the tone and create a shared sense of awareness.
Afterwards, we ease into a warm-up activity, something light and grounding to help everyone settle in, whether it’s rope-based or a simple communication practice.
From there, the studio opens up for free rope play. The lights dim, the music softens, and you're invited to explore in the way that feels right for you. Our space is equipped with bamboo and single suspension points. If suspension is part of your practice, please bring your own ring.
Important!
This rope evening is open to everyone. All identities, backgrounds, and experience levels are welcome. As a queer, BIPOC-led studio, we encourage you to engage with others respectfully and with care, helping to create a space where freedom of expression and playful rope exploration can thrive.
Take a moment to check in with yourself and your partners. Notice your physical boundaries, your emotional state, and the kind of connection you’re open to sharing that evening. Rope interactions are a shared experience, with responsibility for safety and enjoyment held equally by both people. Clear communication, mutual care, and active consent make the experience meaningful and safe for everyone involved.
You’re encouraged to move at your own pace, speak your boundaries, and engage in ways that feel grounded and safe. We ask that you only use techniques you feel confident in and approach each interaction with trust and respect.
Doors open at 18:15 and will close at 19:00. Please make sure to arrive on time, as entry won’t be possible once the doors are closed.
What to bring?
Your own ropes, if you are tying.
Suspension gear, rings, carabiners, extra slings , etc.
Comfortable clothes in which you can move freely, tank tops or shorts are ideal, or any yoga/sport clothes. you are allowed to tie topless, bottoms stay on.

Need Ropes?
Some times we have ropes available to purchase. please mail us about this. If not you can find Shibari Ropes at Mail & Female, this link gives you a 10% discount on your first purchase.
