Embodiment Rope Space

"I believe that when you are going to tie, whether it is yourself or someone else, you need to trust. To trust your teacher, trust yourself and your body so you can be at your optimum. The Embodiment Rope Space holds the space for you in order to feel safe to try and learn something new. Upon entering you are met with Astrid's warm and eager smile. She quickly set out to encourage everyone to be comfortable in the space and only do as much as they were comfortable with. Our class had a mix of beginners to more experienced practitioners, but no one was left behind and no one felt bored with what we were doing. It was in fact a very encouraging space, we would learn a tie through a pre-recorded video which was great because you can just keep rewinding to the point where you became absolutely lost, and a walk through with Astrid which enabled you to have the video and audio on how to complete a task. This is especially great if you are a beginner because you could just ask for everyone to backtrack until you were absolutely comfortable with the tie. I found this to be a symbol of how the space was created to be held gently and safely while learning rope with other people. I would definitely recommend that anyone attend at least one rope jam. They are incredibly insightful but also fun and connective, you're bound to come back for more."

"It was great! "

"This was my first time at embodiment and I will definitely be back!! The vibes were cozy, intimate and warm. Our instructor, Kay, was so kindhearted and made it a safe environment for us. As a beginner I left the jam feeling energised and ready to learn more about Shibari!! "

"This space is amazing, safe, well-run and every kind of delightful. "

"Tapiwa is an excellent trainer. His understanding of the craft and scenarios he's able to provide, make for a well-rounded and enjoyable experience. Both he and Astrid put you at ease and they have a wonderful energy about them."
