We intend to create a space for people who are interested in or desire a sober / substance free environment to express, share and enjoy art, support in the lifestyle community. Come find creative inspiration and connection.
Located at The Rope Collective Studio in Barrio Logan.
Address and studio access details included in registration email.
If you have something you to share you will sign up when you arrive. Play music, spoken word, rap, poetry, present art, share a story, perform a monologue, bring your craft!
This is a kink friendly event so kink performance (rope, flogging, impact, etc) and discussion on kink topics is welcome. Please be prepared to enter the space from a place of informed consent, respecting boundaries, and adhering to our code of ethics/conduct.
The process of change is uncomfortable and can be confusing. Especially when mental health and substance issues are involved. We value the power of autonomy and confidentiality. Resource help and guidance are available upon request to help anyone be navigate the space, answer questions & concerns, and share resources for support in recovery and sobriety.
