🔮 DEEP & TENDER 2 - DAY PORTAL | CONNECTIVE ROPE
31.01 - 01.02
14:30-19:30
an introduction to Japanese-inspired rope practice through presence, communication and attuned touch
🤍 this winter we open the studio for a slow, connective exploration of rope
held within the sensory sanctuary of Colour + Sense, Hackney Wick.
🎟️ beginner-friendly / intimate group
open to individuals & couples. no previous rope experience required.
🪢 this workshop is rooted in connection.
we move gently, working with simple ties and clear structures that prioritise safety, consent, and nervous system awareness.
rope becomes a medium for listening ~
to sensation, to boundaries, to the subtle dialogue between bodies.
rather than learning many techniques, we focus on how we are tying, and why.
this is a space to build foundations ~ technical, emotional, and relational - so that rope can be explored with confidence, care, and creativity beyond the workshop.
