_____________________________________________________________________
ROPE JAM #7

Free & safe space for local shibari/kinbaku/bondage enthusiasts to meet, mingle and tie. We're inviting all riggers, models, switches and rope-curious people of Reykjavík to join for an evening of rope play!

This rope event is meant to give room for individual sessions and create a nice shibari community atmosphere. The focus of the rope jam won't be on teaching, but there is room for exchange.

Who is welcome & What to expect
Rope-loving or rope-curious people of all genders, ages (18+), orientations, or backgrounds. We expect everybody to treat others with respect and do their best to be mindful with each other at any time. Any shibari experience level is welcome. You may join solo or with your rope partner(s). The event is meant to facilitate connections within the rope community, but please don't expect to find a 'guaranteed' person to tie with or to teach you things.

Safety
Everyone ties at their own responsibility. We expect riggers and models to only move within their safe skill-set or otherwise actively ask for support, if they want to try something out that they are not sure with - never just assume that someone will be watching anyways. We're happy to support each other, but we're not lifeguards by the side of the rope pool. It is within your own responsibility to discuss boundaries and safety issues with rope partners, although we can offer support if needed. R.A.C.K. and P.R.I.C.K. are the general outlining consent concepts here. (https://shibaristudy.com/blog/post/consent-frameworks-explained-ssc-rack-and-prick).

Location & Timing
The rope jam will take place at Andrými. We might have some floor mats, but don't count on it - please bring your own blanket to tie on and mats, if you have any. There will be 2 ceiling hooks as suspension options available, but bring your own equipment. If you join late, make sure to not disturb people that are tying. Some help for the clean-up at the end of the event would be appreciated.

What to bring
◆ your own ropes and equipment
◆ your own safety scissors
◆ a blanket to tie on (+mats, if you have any)
◆ drinks and snacks for yourself or for sharing
◆ if you have: spare rope to share with those that don't have any
◆ if you have: educational books on shibari

Accessibility
We want to try to make everyone feel as welcome as possible, regardless of gender, orientation, age (18+), skill level, able-bodiedness or background. If you need a more low-stimulus environment for tying, there can be upstairs rooms available for that. Unfortunately, the location is not wheelchair accessible. Please approach us, if we can make this event any more accessible for you!
