Cape Town queer-first rope and shibari community space active since 2021. Official Embodiment pages describe a volunteer-run physical rope space in Salt River with weekly rope jams, beginner and intermediate workshops, private lessons, floor mats and suspension hard points, plus a public Quicket ticket flow and Instagram contact surface. Astrid's 2024 Shibari Study article confirms the space grew out of earlier South African rope-community organizing and had already hosted visiting educators including Mango and Caritia.
