Rope is a tool that can be used to achieve a number of things. This class focuses on creating connective and intimate experiences with a bit of rope and a few simple ties.
Be it your friend, your lover or someone you just met, everyone typically appreciates feeling seen, heard and understood. Leaning into how you handle, look and respond to our partners, we can create these feelings and more. In a world where people are just waiting for you to stop talking so they can talk, really being seen and heard is a powerful button to hit. In this class, we will endeavor to show you how to hit those buttons!

Kindred is a queer rope switch who’s been practicing bondage since 2016. They enjoy both the technical and connective sides of rope, and attribute much of their growth with rope bondage to their teachers Barkas and Addie and their tying partners.
As a rigger, they combine technical precision, fluidity of movement, and focused observation to tie in a way that centers the emotional experience of the people in their rope. Drawing inspiration from martial arts, psychology and art, they incorporate knowledge from these and related fields into their lessons and practice.
As a teacher, Kindred is non-dogmatic and adaptive. Rather than adhering strictly to any style of tying, they provide students with the skills to pursue any avenues of curiosity. Their training in trauma informed practice and non violent crisis intervention carries through to their teaching and practice, facilitating an environment where people can feel safe to express vulnerabilities and emotions.

Kristie has been drawn to kink for as long as she can remember, and has been exploring and diving deep into rope bondage since early 2024. She is fascinated by the delicate balance between beauty and pain, connection and suffering. While teaching with Kindred, Kristie discovered a passion for bottoming education—emphasizing communication, safety, and the depth of connection that rope can create. She has taught a range of classes, from connection to dynamic suspension, and has shared her love of rope through performances alongside Kindred.
