This event will take place at The Rope Collective Studio in Barrio Logan, San Diego. Visit the Contact + Location tab of our website for studio access information.

EVENT DETAILS:

Somatic Self-Tying is a hands-on workshop exploring rope as a somatic tool for connecting deeply with yourself. This class will open with an overview of somatics to provide a baseline understanding and some tools on how to more intentionally 'tune in' to the wisdom and insight stored in the body, along with an exploration of how rope can enhance self-exploration and somatic processing. To integrate the knowledge and skills we will touch on, the workshop will end with a guided meditation and somatic exploration followed by some time for reflection and some discussion on how to develop your own somatic self-tying practice.

It is recommended to have a foundational knowledge of rope prior to the guided somatic exploration session - for those brand new to rope or in need of a refresher, there is an option to add a Rope 101 workshop which will take place immediately prior to Somatic Self-Tying. This basic overview will cover a non-collapsible single column, reverse tensions, munter frictions, extending rope, and a half-hitch.

Participants are also encouraged to bring notebooks/journals for any notes or reflections. Be sure to dress comfortably and feel free to bring any comfort items or tools you feel may enhance your experience (such as essential oils, eye masks, yoga mats, oracle/tarot cards). We only ask that you limit items that could be loud or distracting - if you are unsure whether something is okay to bring or have any other questions, please feel free to reach out via email to earthly.entanglement@gmail.com!
