The rope teaching is divided in individual workshops that each cover a specific topic. This way the student can choose their desired topics or follow through the whole program step by step, or better say workshop by workshop. For people who wish to have a little taste of different workshop without the commitment to dive fully into each workshop I also propose different packages. The workshop can be private or shared with other people. Sharing the workshop will not split the cost ,but instead gives a discount between 15 to 20%.
The workshop as to be requested via email unless you find in the Event page some group workshop already organised; and then you can book your spot via email.

Theory to create a great rope experience 1h15 100€ (1500NOK)
Can be done online and alone.
For riggers and models, this workshop is aiming to have you learn about your own desires within your rope journey. How to start and develop it while discovering yourself by asking the questions that we often overlook. When you understand your needs you will be able to get what you desire out of the rope experience and make this practice not only fulfilling but also sustainable.
Entering a rope journey can be extremely intimidating and cause to many to abandon their goals. With this workshop you will learn that a great rope session is not at all about knowing your knots well but rather about how people feel. Let’s discover how you want to feel and make other people feel to have a magical experience.

Practice Vs. Sessions
Real talks

Everyone has different ways to learn, and we will try to cover different approaches, so anyone can leave this workshop with a sense of having gained new skills that can be continued to be practiced, mastered, and evolved after the workshop.

This intuitive new skill will enable you to navigate through your rope journey with a lot more ease.

Intermediate ties 2h30 250€ (3000NOK)
Must be done in person and with a partner or a model.
This workshop is designed for people with already basic fundamental knowledge such as safety, theory, and even some rope practice, and wish to get into proper constructed ties. You can come with wishes on which ties to learn or follow a program that increase the difficulty as we go. Also if you do not have the basic knowledge required I highly recommend to attend first workshops such as safety and theory (mentioned above).
Warning: You must know that my rope tying is prioritising functionality over aesthetic and that if you desire to learn an aesthetic ties that provide no function than I might not be the teacher for you.

Packages
The workshop packages are meant for people who wish to learn a little bit of everything to have a test of it and good enough skill to start tying well and safe. The packages include a composition of different workshop put together. This means that each workshop is reduced in his content and that less time will be dedicated to both the theory and also the practice.
If you wish rope to be an important part of your life and want to invest fully in learning it I recommend to avoid the packages and take each workshop individually to get a proper apprenticeship.
