Rope Burn SF: August

The Bay Area's only rope skill-share for men who like to tie men*!For more information, including FAQ, check out www.ropeburnsf.com! Rope burn is a group dedicated to creating a safe space for those interested in learning the art of ropes, every 2nd Thursday of the month! We start with a small workshop for you to learn some basic ties and make some new friends in the process!-- We want to help people create connections and grow the queer rope community through sharing our knowledge and skills! We want this group to be a fun, s*x-positive, relaxed, and informational space, open to all skill levels and sizes.A suggested donation of $25 is asked to help us continue providing both Rope Events and Education. Donations are on a sliding scale and nobody will be turned away for lack of funds. For beginners, getting started can seem daunting, but we're here to help, and *WE WANT YOU* to come! I've created a handy guide to get you started: www.ropeburnsf.com The group format is as follows:

6:00 - 7:00: Pre Rope Coffee Meetup at The Nosh Box (1116 Folsom St)

7:00 - 7:30: Check inYou'll be able to donate at the door at this time. Lockers will be available on a first come first serve basis(we ask that you please share a locker with your rope partner if you're able to) and you will need to bring your own lock. StopGap does have locks available for purchase if needed.

7:10 - 7:30: Beginner Rope WorkshopWe'll be offering a brief walkthrough of the basics of Single/Double Columns for first timers, rope beginners, or people just looking for a refresh. We encourage anyone who is new to attend this, and would love to welcome anyone who wants to help newbies learn or brush up on the basics to join as well.
