Tasteofdinner and Sarah Calanthe are excited to announce the third edition of Knot Here Rope Jam at our amazing venue!
When: Saturday the 8th of June, from 12:30 to 17:30
Doors will be open for entry from 12:30 to 13:00. You are able to leave at any time, but entry outside of this time is not possible. If you know in advance that you will not be able to arrive during this time, please send a message on FetLife or Instagram.
Location: Amsterdam (5 minute walk from Weesp train station, exact address of the location provided after purchasing a ticket)
Our gorgeous rope space is located on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the building. It has a big open space with 12 suspension points (bamboos), and plenty of space for floorwork. Blankets, cushions and yoga mats are available to use. On the top floor there is a separate social room where Threads and Tomes will be teaching a beginners workshop, from 13:00 till 17:00, as well as a changing room where you can leave your coat, shoes & bags. There is a toilet on each floor. Unfortunately, there is no elevator and access to the space is only via stairs. Parking near the venue is paid until 17:00 on Saturdays.
Tickets: €20 per person
The ticket link is provided by email to attendees of our previous jam & others who have received an invitation. If circumstances make the event unaffordable to you, please send a message on FetLife or Instagram, and we will do our best to find a solution together.
We are also working with a Pay it Forward system, whereby people with more financial freedom can help support other members of the community. How does it work? When purchasing your ticket, you can choose to add a €10 complement, which goes directly towards a 50% discount to make things more affordable and inclusive for others that couldn't afford it at this time. For this edition, we already have a few discounted tickets available.
Tickets are non-refundable. However, if we have a waiting list, we might be able to arrange for someone else to purchase your ticket from you. If you are no longer able to attend an event you purchased a ticket for, please contact us and we will try to help. Because our jams are invite-only and we keep a guest list at the door, you are not able to re-sell your ticket to other parties.
Food & drinks
We will be providing free tea, coffee, lemonade, and some nibbles.
Rules
Be excellent to each other.
Please leave your shoes, ego, and quarrels at the door.
Topless is allowed for all genders. Bottom underwear stays on.
Please put everything (mats, blankets, pillows, etc.) back where you found them & tidy up after yourself.
Be mindful of the neighbours. Please keep your noise levels down outside the venue and make sure to close the entrance door behind you when you come inside.
Safety is important to us. Please tie within your skill level and keep your own and your partner's safety in mind. If you need help, please ask for it. If you have any concerns about safety, please do not hesitate to talk to the organisers or the people around you.
Using the suspension points is only allowed after receiving permission from tasteofdinner or Sarah Calanthe. Please check with us at the beginning of the jam if you would like to use a point. We might ask you some questions about your experience and will provide you with a bracelet to show you are allowed to use the suspension points. Bracelets must be returned to us at the end of the jam.
If you are trying out things you aren’t fully familiar or confident with yet, you can always ask someone to spot you.
Drinks in closed bottles are allowed in the main room.
Please lower your voice in the main room and be mindful of those around you. The social room upstairs - when the workshop isn’t running - is a great place to have a chat with your friends, right next to people who are in the middle of a scene not so much.
No alcohol & drug consumption inside the venue. If you appear clearly inebriated, we may refuse access or ask you to leave.
Taking pictures is allowed, but make sure that you only capture consenting individuals. Be aware of potential people in the background - not everyone is comfortable with having a camera pointed in their direction.
Why invite only & how to get invited
We have decided to make our rope jams invite-only on purpose. Our goal is not to sell as many tickets as possible, but rather to create a welcoming space for our community to get together & share their passion. We started out by extending invitations to our friends and acquaintances. Because we would love for the community to grow organically, we are now slowly opening invitations to friends-of-friends, using a referral system.
Have you previously attended one of our jams & know someone else who’d love to attend?
Please send us a message on FetLife or Instagram with the nickname & profile link of the person you’d like to refer. Once your friend gets referred by 2 different people who have attended at least one of our jams, we will send them an invitation for the next one!
Want to get invited?
Ask 2 different people you know, who have been to one of our jams, to send us a message on FetLife or Instagram recommending you. Once we have received 2 referrals for you, we will send you an invitation for our next jam. If you do not yet know anyone who has attended any of our jams or we do not receive 2 messages, unfortunately we are not able to invite you at this time.
