Dear Shibari Friends,
We are happy to invite you to the next Rope Jam, organized by AthenShibari, at our new space!
New or old to the scene, feel free to join us this Friday at 6:30 PM.
What is a Rope Jam?
A Rope Jam is an open practice and rope play session for all riggers, rope bottoms, rope switches, and people into self-tying.
Come and bring your ropes, your good mood, your friends and partners, and even some snacks or drinks! You will be able to do ropes in a safe and calm environment, meet other rope enthusiasts, and, of course, meet the members of our team (we are excited to see you!).
There is no teaching at this event—it’s time to play!
No previous experience with ropes? Feel free to come by and socialize with other rope enthusiasts.
If you want to learn, we kindly invite you to come to any open class or contact us for more information.
Dress Code: Flexible. We recommend comfortable clothes to tie in or sit on the floor. However, if you prefer to dress up, feel free to choose an outfit that makes you feel sexy. Fetish outfits are welcome. Thank you so much for helping us maintain a clean and safe space!
Special Pre-Jam Activity: Blindfolded Rigger Challenge
Do you enjoy exploring rope in different ways? Join us at 7:00 PM for the Blindfolded Rigger Challenge!
In this unique activity, riggers will test their skills and creativity while blindfolded, relying solely on touch and communication with their models to achieve a rope session based on their other senses. Models play an essential role, providing feedback and ensuring their safety throughout the process. Spotters will be present to monitor the activity and make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable.
-Rules for the Challenge:
~Only Floor Ties: All ties must be done on the floor for maximum safety and ease.
~Unlimited Ropes: Participants can use as many ropes as they like during the tie.
~Static or Dynamic: Ties can be more static or incorporate movement and flow, depending on the participants' preferences.
~Time Limit: The challenge will last for 30 minutes, including negotiation, tying, and untying.
~Pairing for Singles: If you are attending solo, please let us know in advance. We will do our best to pair you with someone (based on availability and mutual preferences).
-Additional Notes:
~Experience Levels Welcome: This activity is suitable for all skill levels. Beginners are encouraged to join, and the team will provide support to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
~Safety First: Models should communicate clearly about their limits, and riggers must prioritize consent and safety throughout the activity.
~Bring Your Own Gear: Participants are encouraged to bring their own ropes, but the team can provide rope to buy or borrow at the space.

AthenShibari - General Rules for Rope JamsRope jams are for attendees that are at least 18 years of age.
We do not tolerate abusive, inappropriate, or offensive behavior.
Respect each other and respect common sense. Don’t touch other people’s equipment without asking permission first. Don’t touch people without their consent.
Please clean up after yourself. Make sure you throw out any trash you create, wash your plates/glasses, and clean your space after you’re done tying to allow others to make use of the spot.
Our general dress code is comfortable clothing. Topless is allowed for all genders in the studio area, but full nudity is not allowed.
Keep your volume at a reasonable level, both while tying and socializing.
Rope Jams are rope bondage-oriented (social) events and are not BDSM play parties. Keep rope your main activity. Some BDSM acts are allowed (light impact play, wax play as long as you keep the space clean, etc.), but explicit sexual acts are not allowed. Activities with excessive body fluids like spitting or drooling should also be avoided unless prepared to maintain cleanliness.
Make sure you practice safe and consensual bondage, don’t take unnecessary risks, and only take risks if all participants are aware and willing to take them. Always keep a safety-shear in reach and ask for help in case of any emergency!
You are welcome to bring your own food & (non-alcoholic) drinks. We usually offer coffee and tea. However, we ask you not to bring anything into the rope area.
Feel free to contact us for more information, to order ready-to-use ropes, or to hire a model or a rigger.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
The AthenShibari Team
