Queertied Peer Rope with Beginner Workshop

More info & tickets

About the Event

Queertied invites you for a playful, welcoming rope hangout where everyone can tinker, tie, tumble, and learn — at their own pace and on their own terms. Whether you like to knot, be knotted, self-tie, or try a bit of everything, this is a space to explore queerness, connection, and silliness with safety and care.

About the Workshop

Beginner workshop: Single & Double Column Tie

During our monthly beginner workshop you will learn a bit about the history of Japanese bondage and why it is called shibari. We dive into safety aspects like nerve compression and the do’s & don’ts of tying with yourself or somebody else. After we’re done with that, we dive into the practical stuff of how to tie a single-column tie, a double-column tie and the basic principles of frictions. We give individual guidance and there is plenty of room for questions.

Entry level: You don’t need any prior knowledge or equipment. We have rope for lending.

About Queertied

Since November 2021, we have been hosting monthly events to create a safe(r) space for queer individuals of all kinds to explore shibari. We strive for an inclusive setting that celebrates the diversity of our bodies through the intimate, playful and creative practice of rope play and bondage.

What to Expect

Optional warm-up: Rope-focused stretching to wake up your body (or skip it and sip tea).
Optional workshop: A beginner's workshop is available (in English unless everyone speaks Dutch).
Open practice: Try floorwork, partner ties, or follow a tutorial — make friends, swap tips, and cheer each other on.
Playtime: Bring your curiosity (and rope) for open practice time.

Practical Info

Equipment: Metal ceiling beams and pull-up bars for suspensions; yoga mats available.
Bring: Your own ropes + rescue hook or safety scissors. (Loan ropes are available).
Refreshments: Coffee, tea, and soft drinks for sale — bring chocolate or sugar if you need a boost.
Photos: You may photograph your own work only with consent; don’t include others without permission.

Safety & Vibe

Consent-first: Active, enthusiastic consent required for all partner play.
Content level: Keep it roughly PG-13 — light spanks or crotch rope OK; extended sexual/BDSM scenes not permitted.
