This is an invitation to create a warm, interactive space where we can explore embodiment through rope practice and beyond.
The book club is conceived as an experimental space that you are invited to help shape. Your active participation is welcomed and encouraged. Bring your presence, your questions, and your somatic inquiries.
Come as you are. There is no need for years of rope experience, and no specific role or identity required. My book is written for anyone who has a body and wants to feel more of it. In the same way, this book club is open to everyone who feels drawn to explore embodiment more deeply — in rope practice and in life.
This is not a therapeutic or healing space, nor a workshop on rope bottoming. It is a self-guided, self-paced exploratory space for practicing embodiment and engaging in shared reflection on themes related to embodiment, intimacy, and conscious sexuality.
Topics:
Topics will evolve with the group and may include:
- Coming into the body
- Feeling and expressing a feeling
- Embodied consent
- Safety (not about the nerves)
- Surrender
- Limits and boundaries
- Movement and non-verbal communication
- Processing intense impact
- Ritual
Who is this for:
This space is for rope enthusiasts — riggers, bottoms, switches — and for anyone interested in the practical aspects of embodiment, intimacy, and conscious sexuality.
No prior somatic training or years of rope experience are required. You may find it helpful to read my book to see whether my approach resonates with you. If you’d like to explore more of my current writing on these themes, you can also visit my blog
Format:
- Live online sessions on Zoom
- Once per month, 1.5 hours
- Weekdays & weekends
Each session may include:
- A short talk on a given topic
- A guided somatic solo practice
- Small-group discussions
- Time for questions and shared reflection
Recording:
The first part of the session will be recorded for the facilitator’s use. The recording will stop before the interactive parts begin. Group discussions, breakout rooms, and Q&A will not be recorded.
Recordings will not be shared with participants, as the book club is designed as a live, participatory space where presence matters.
A few notes:
- Participation is free
- This is a self-responsible exploratory space, not therapy
- You are always invited to participate at your own pace
