Bondage Soup

Bondage Soup is a rope education community built around learning, practice, sharing knowledge, and supporting one another.

Our community brings together current cohort members, graduates, instructors, and GAs who continue to learn, teach, practice, and contribute to one another's growth.

Through our three educational programs, we create different opportunities to develop skills, explore new approaches, and stay connected to the community.

Bondage Soup Progressive Learning

Our 12-month, in-person progressive cohort takes tying pairs from little or no rope experience through foundational skills, harnesses, suspension, and suspension transitions.

Each month builds on the last through instruction, practice, repetition, feedback, and learning together as a cohort.

BoSo Progressive Learning builds the foundation.

Bondage Soup Test Kitchen

Our 6-month, instructor-led cohort is a multidimensional program for experienced rope practitioners who want to investigate familiar structures, explore different approaches, and make more intentional choices in their rope practice.

Through instruction, demonstration, discussion, and guided practice, Test Kitchen creates opportunities to deepen understanding, refine skills, and explore what different approaches can offer.

Test Kitchen is not graduate school or a higher tier of BoSo Progressive Learning. It is another room in the same house, created for a different kind of learning.

Test Kitchen gives you room to experiment, refine, and create.

Soup Kitchen

Soup Kitchen is our continuing education and practice space for graduates and current cohort members.

It is a place to practice, ask questions, share knowledge, explore techniques, and keep learning with people who share a common rope language.

Soup Kitchen keeps us learning together.

One Community

Bondage Soup began in 2018 with the belief that learning rope is better when we learn together and share what we know.

Since then, Bondage Soup has grown into a community of more than 150 graduates, alongside current cohort members, instructors, and GAs. Graduates return to practice, mentor, GA, teach, perform, interview future applicants, and support the people coming after them. What we teach continues to evolve through experience, feedback, and what we learn from the wider rope community.

As the community has grown, so have the opportunities to learn, participate, and contribute. Some people return to strengthen their foundations, others explore different approaches, and others share what they have learned through teaching, mentoring, and supporting future cohorts.

There is no single way to stay involved.

BoSo Progressive Learning is our 12-month program that gives you ingredients, patterns, tools, and a shared language.

Bondage Soup Test Kitchen is our 6-month program that gives experienced practitioners room to investigate, experiment, refine, and create.

Soup Kitchen is our continuing education and practice space where graduates and current cohort members keep practicing, sharing, and learning together.

Each program serves a different purpose, but they are connected by the people, knowledge, experiences, and values that shape our community.

Different programs. Different purposes. One Bondage Soup community.
