Thrive

We are excited to host

Jardinero

(They/He)

Jardinero (They/He) identifies as queer, Afro-Latino, neurodivergent, polyamorous, and as most importantly “just a lil guy.” They love physical and mental bondage, impact, fear play, power exchange, most things to do with rope and just about anything that combines nerdy with kinky. He approaches kink with a background in martial arts, sword play, and forensic science which defines their particular creative brand of sadism.

They have been exploring power exchange for over 7 years and continue to try and grow themselves through new experiences and opportunities. Jardinero loves creating and finding opportunities for collaboration and communal learning from all sides of slashes.

Who will be presenting:

Beyond Bondage: Adapting Rope for Neurodivergents

Class Description

Most bondage classes will teach you to tie knots or help you gain skills to decorate, suspend, or restrain. This is not that bondage class.

Instead, we'll discuss how rope can be a useful modality to soothe or excite our neurodivergent brains.

Whether it's exploring the desire to follow instructions and get something right, finding ways to ground and self-soothe, or exploring our sensory needs, rope can be used in so many ways. Let's talk about structure, techniques, compression, textures, solo and partnered play, and the ways rope can be an adaptive tool for many of us.
