Heeey, I'm so excited about this space... It sucks to have your pictures banned from other social media all the time! It will be good to have one to call home. Great idea Fuoco , Anton  and all the Shibari study gang!
I'm Aspero (he/him), from Brazil. I'm a rigger, a physical theater actor and a father of 2. My partner in the pictures is Douce, who also happen to be my partner in life. As a start, I will post some pics from a performance we when she was 5 months pregnant, it`s called "red line". As it always happens, it  got our acc shadow banned on other social media.
 

Community Agreements:

1. Celebrate and embrace the diversity of thought, practice, and opinion. There are many ways to do and practice rope. The Community Discord is a way for us all to engage and interact across differences. While rope connects us all, we are still unique individually.

2. Navigate disagreement through discourse. Treat others with respect, even if you disagree. Discord is primarily a text interaction platform, please be mindful that miscommunications can happen.

3. Respect each community members’ identities and honor their boundaries/requests about how they wish to be treated. Treat others how they wish to be treated - this includes using their correct pronouns, name, and any other identifying factors that feel important to them. If you make a mistake, take accountability for your actions and try to repair any harm caused.

4. Help create safer spaces for learning and growth through mutual accountability and co-created community accountability. Accountability is mutually co-created. This space is meant to build community and hold each other in that process - sometimes that means making mistakes. Our commitment to accountability begins with a willingness to own and accept that we are all capable of causing harm. Let’s intentionally build a space where making mistakes and making things right is a part of how we operate.

5. Bring a growth mindset and be mindful of your learning zones. Check-in with yourself and where your learning zones are. Be mindful when you are in the panic zone and ask for help if you need it.

6. Actively receive in conversation before responding. Receive information down to the last word before taking the time to communicate your thoughts.

7. Make space, take space. Reflect on when you’re able to take up more space in the discord/threads/conversations and reflect on if you need to be creating more space for others. Reflect on if you aren’t participating as much or taking up space, why that might be. Try to find the courage to share your thoughts and take up space, you belong here!

8. Be mindful of the impact of your actions, not just the intentions behind them. Just because we didn’t intend to hurt or harm someone doesn’t change that they are hurt/harmed.

9. NSFW Content. We unfortunately cannot have explicit NSFW content on the community at this time. As an education platform in Shibari we do recognise some content is concerning the practice of shibari but we cannot host explicit material. We do not want to moderate heavily in this space so please be mindful when sharing photographs. 

10. This is all challenge by choice. It’s a choice of action to be here and to be participating in this space. Please participate at whatever capacity feels accessible and most authentic for you

Hi everyone! I’m Kahrin, I’ve been running Shibari Study’s socials for about four years now.

When it comes to rope, you could say I’m an armchair rigger/bottom - lots of theory from editing all those class snippets, but not much hands-on practice (yet😁). I actually tried tying for the first time this year, a few half-hitches on myself, and let’s just say my hands couldn’t quite keep up with my brain haha

Hoping to get some inspo from you all to give it another go. And in exchange, I can share some good music recs for your tying sessions🖤

Curious if anyone has bottomed for the Dense Rope material yet? Would love to hear how it goes/what you think. It’s such a different way of being in rope compared to other styles!
