Consent is ongoing.
Before rope, the conversation. What you want, what you do not want, what today is. Nothing starts until that is clear, and the conversation never closes.
SAN FRANCISCO · JAPANESE ROPE · A PERSONAL PRACTICE
Rope is the medium.
Presence is the point —
paying attention to another person.

TENETS
What this practice stands on.
Three principles, kept honest by the people who trust me with their time.
02
Slowness is a skill;
the rope moves at the speed of attention.
03
Privacy is default.
Your image, your name, your story — yours. Nothing is shared, published, or repeated without your explicit, current, reversible yes.
