Embodiment Rope Space was born in June 2021, the lovechild of partners in rope and life Astrid (@desirelinesbondage; she/they) and Sim (@vroeteldier; she/her). The intention was to create a safe(r) space wherein people from all walks of life could come to learn about the art of consensual restraint, known as Shibari, Kinbaku, bondage or simply rope work. We believe that this artform is a transformative modality, giving those within our community the opportunity to transmute shame and guilt into beauty, connection, pleasure, art and joy.
The Ethos of Embodiment Rope Space:
This is a sex-positive, kink-positive, pleasure-centric space.
This is a queer space. Friends of LGBTQIA+ people are welcome.
We believe that rope is for every body.
Pleasure is political. We challenge our pre-conceptions in this space.
Community is essential for safety. We learn more when we learn together.
Open hearts and open minds are welcome here. Treat others as you wish to be treated.
We share this space out of joy and the pursuit of pleasure.
Consent can be revoked at any time.
We practice risk-aware consensual kink.
We share information and experiences about safety freely.
We take responsibility for our mistakes.
We believe that rope knowledge should be accessible, while maintaining reverence for the art form as the high-risk activity that it is. We walk a fine line between creating a sandbox for experimentation and opening Pandora’s box. For this reason, our Ethos is incredibly important and something that guides all activities in the space. Our Code of Conduct is something that all attendees and spaceholders are expected to adhere to.

We organise Rope Jams once a week, where those who are interested in rope can come to learn more and practice their skills under the guidance of our team. We also organise beginner level and intermediate workshops every other month. We highly recommend attending our beginner workshop to get a comprehensive introduction to the risks associated with rope, communication strategies and basic ties.
