Bound to Rise is a rope workshop & jam started by Glory Dang and Daniel Moreh in Santa Cruz, blending presence, connection, and rope bondage into one delightful evening. Rooted in community, learning, and respect, it offers a container where people can engage in experiential learning at a gentle pace. By practicing presence and attunement, people are encouraged to be active, conscious participants in their exploration of self and other in rope.
bushy is a small coliving space with a community of friends who enjoy some somatic connection, embodiment, and joyful presence. come with kindness.
The evening begins with an all-levels workshop taught by Ash to learn foundational skills for creating a fun and meaningful rope experience. Then, we transition into an open jam with space for socializing, snacking, dancing, rope labbing, and rope scenes. During the jam, a House Top will be available to tie participants and help create a magical night. ✨🌌
Whether new to rope or experienced, come and see what rope community can mean to you: attuned presence, nervous system regulation, embodied connection, dominance and submission, shadow work, and more. ☀️🌙
Workshop: Exposing Possibility
Whether you're looking to create beautiful shapes, evoke feelings of helplessness, or spice up a scene with some easy access, exposure is a powerful tool to add intensity and emotion to your rope bondage.
In this class, we will discuss the physiological effects of exposed positions and then dive into some exposing shapes and ties that create them.
About Ash: Ash's movement and leadership background extends back to his early childhood when he was in the competitive martial arts scene by age three. By eight years old, he had begun teaching martial arts and in his late teens, Ash began exploring emotional expression and partnered connection through dance and Shibari.
Now, with over twenty-one years of teaching experience and thirteen years of experience in community leadership, he creates inclusive events and classes structured to center community and technical development across a wide range of skill levels and experience.
**💙Community Guidelines💙**
**🐛This is a place of practice.** Come and learn new skills, meet people, and share what you can. We hope to cultivate a community centered around practicing rope in a safe and supportive container.
**🐒Take really good care of yourself.** Giving or receiving "no" can be a challenge in our wider culture. Let's use this as a space to practice being honest about what we want, what we don't want, and what we're not sure about. Having boundaries is how we can be in good relationship with one another.
**🐝 Let's take care of one another.** By practicing together, in community, we can be a source of support for people around us, and receive support from them as well. We're not strangers here, or at least not for long. SF is small. Say hi.
**🌱 Play within your skill level.** There's a wide range of what's possible with rope. It takes training—more than you might initially think—to build awareness of all the possible risks. Aim to play within your risk tolerance. Be safe and take it slow.
**🐙We all make mistakes.** If you experienced a consent violation, a consent oopsie, or anything that just made you feel a bit uncomfortable for any reason, please let us know. Seriously—no matter how small or big! Having that information helps us understand what's happening in the space, recognize where we as a community could use more awareness, and help individuals understand their impact and potentially change their behavior for the better.

**Offerings and Definitions:**
✨ **All-levels Workshop:** Workshop for newbies, beginners, and intermediates to learn relational and tactical aspects of rope.
🍓**Snack lounge:** Potluck-style social space. Bring a snack to share with others and connect with like-minded folks. Pro tip: Bring finger food that can be easily fed to others who are tied up, like chocolate or cherries!
🧪 **Rope lab:** Place and practice for experimentation. Unlike in a rope scene, rope labbing is informal and encourages dialogue for learning about knots, sensations, boundary exploration, and more.
🌟 **Rope scene:** Negotiated rope experience. People outside the scene are welcome to observe, but please refrain from chatting nearby.
**🎩 House top:** Experienced rope casters who are available to tie with participants during the jam. This is a great opportunity for folks who are new to rope to be tied.
