Tied Lads Club

Tied Lads Club is a casual, male-focused rope session for men to gather, practice, and explore Shibari. The event emphasizes safety, consent, and inclusivity, creating a space where participants can be both present and playful without pressure.

The jam is not an instructional class, though facilitators will be available for light guidance, check-ins, and support. Participants are free to explore at their own pace and engage with others as they feel comfortable. 

This event welcomes all men and male-identifying participants, including trans men and non-binary individuals who are comfortable in a male focused space. This session is designed to be affirming, respectful and mindful of diverse identities and experience.
