Last night I went to a FIRE party, which stands for Female Identified Riggers Evolution. It was a lot of fun and a completely different vibe from most rope events. It was great as there was social time in the beginning and then a beginners work shop and downstairs there was a chance for people who were beyond the basics to practice everything from floor work to suspension.
We got a chance to go over the basics. My friend G graciously volunteered to be my stunt bottom as I learned and thankful helped me when I got stuck. I was very happy when I did my first chest harness on him.
One thing I noticed is that as soon as the hemp rope touched my hands, my mind was starting to get all floaty and started to wander into a more bottom space. I had to fight to stay out of it. I guess over the years, I’ve been conditioned. However, I love being conditioned that way so it will be an interesting experience trying to keep that but being able to turn it off when needed. I’m looking forward to practising more and slowly learning. Now, just to find people to practise on.
