About the instructors:

KessKahlo

Kess (she/they) is a sadistic rope switch and queer social science nerd who has been active in the local community since 2014, and tying for about 6 years. She is passionate about accessible rope education and giving back to the community. Approaching her rope practice and classes from a place of authenticity, she strives to meet her students where they are at.

Kess has been organizing rope education events, including Rope in the Rockies, in Denver for several years. She currently sits on the Board of Directors for Studio Friction, where she facilitates programming and consent education (among other things). You’ll also see her volunteering at the Denver Sanctuary’s Gateway event, helping to make new community members feel welcome as they begin their kink journeys.

Mx_Mia_More

Mia More (she/they) is a gender-bending rope switch, and self-suspender who experiences BDSM as a diverse tool for self-exploration and creative expression. For the past six years, they have been publicly involved in Kink/BDSM as a community member, and in more recent years as an educator and event producer. As an educator, Mia encourages participation and interactive demonstrations so students can build skills that are imbued with their own personal imagination and authentic personality. Much like her gender expression and identity, they consider their rope style as chaotic. Their journey in rope started as a bottom. They decided to take a break from playing with others but still loved the community and the feeling of being in rope so they started to self tie/suspend. More recently they have been topping others both in and out of rope but still enjoy the fun and challenges that come along with bottoming. They have taught at the Easter conference in Berlin, Studio Friction, Denver Rope Bite, and Unabashed Queer Kink Con events.
