Something really exciting is coming out very soon! Who recognizes this harness?
Getting to Know You: Top, Bottom, Switch or Self-Tie? How do you identify in rope, are you predominantly a top, a bottom or do you happily switch. Or are you one of those amazingly talent people who does all at once by self tying?
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, my girlfriend and I are just starting our adventure with shibari. We have a request for you:
We are looking for music to tie each other up to, something sensual that will make us even more eager to enter this world.
So...

Rope Journal - Week 7
February's Theme - Romance, Trust and Play
"What’s your favourite non-physical part of rope scenes?"
Oh this one really got my thoughts flowing, isn't rope all physical? I'm resisting the urge to just answer this prompt in my initial post. There's so many extra things in a rope scene that aren't simply the rope and for a long period of time I stopped taking photographs of rope and just took photos of peoples faces in rope, it really helped me appreciate observing the impact of rope.
Id love to hear what your favourite non physical part of a rope scene would be, drop a comment or photo with your interpretation of this prompt, I'm super excited to see how you guys interpret this one.

Rope Journal - Week 6
February's Theme - Cultivating Connection
"What makes rope feel intimate to you?"
With Valentines Day quickly approaching this felt like the perfect prompt for this week. We all express intimacy in different ways in our non rope lives, from long walks to never ending conversations, cooking someone's favourite meal or something as simple as a cup of tea in bed. Intimacy means different things to different people and with the variety of ways we express ourselves in rope, this one really.
Intimacy isn't just about romantic partners either, if you want to know more about Cultivating Connections in Rope, check out our Ties that bind blog post
