I identify as a top and was fascinating by your talk on subspace and aftercare.

On a different note I really liked your talks on privacy and I appreciate you directly calling out not asking people about their work as I totally would’ve done that by accident.

I appreciated your lesson. I will be back in summer.

I am a total beginner, so I did not know what to expect from this class. Dan and Renee were very welcoming and professional. The information presented in the class was very well organized and thorough. I learned enough about etiquette and language that I felt immediately encouraged to attend the next event. I would highly recommend this class to other beginners, and I intend to learn more from this group in the future.

The getting started class was awesome! Highly recommend it. Lots of information some I knew and learned more today. It was great to meet the hosts and everyone else. Always love to learn! Thank you for a great class!

I learned a lot and really enjoyed myself. I didn’t know the basics of ropes and it was helpful to have a clear outline (including a handout with takeaways), kind presenters who were happy to answer questions, and a comfy and pretty space. Much of what we discussed really helped to put into context things I had just heard a little about or had passing familiarity with, so the extra context really helped me to feel confident and more comfy getting deeper into this community. The clear guidelines given (including giving examples of contrasts between the vanilla and kink world, where certain expectations and norms may be opposites) was extremely helpful as a person who knows I benefit from very clear structures and instructions.

I attended the beginner class and found it highly informative, even though I have been a bottom previously and had some experience. I am excited to attend future events and continue to learn more within this great community. Give them a try, you won’t regret it!

This class was interesting and essential for any kind of kink experience not just rope play.

The safety class was very informative and made sure we knew what was required to have a safe rope experience

I’ve lived all over the country, and have been involved in the kink community for numerous years. ATU’s intro class is something I wish I had 15 years ago when I was getting into all of this. As someone new to the scene this would be helpful, and as someone trying to find like-minded people in the area this really showed me that this was a safe place to continue learning and playing!

Such necessary information and a green flag for a well-run organization. I was visiting from out of town, but would drive the couple hours to continue classes here and hope to find something similar near me. Thoughtful class!

Renee and Dan have created a space for us to explore the kinky side of rope. They understand, and explained everything in a professional manner. They made me feel comfortable and I’m looking forward to joining the community…
