About the Instructors:
Ropeosaur (They/Them)
A genderfluid rigger whose dynamic style keeps Bottoms on their toes.
Their current passions are trans inclusivity, gas masks, and power exchange. Ropeosaur values developing long-standing relationships with their play partners, and deeply enjoys finding the things that make their partners cringe…and using them intentionally to create elements of fear and suffering. Ropeosaur is passionate about teaching concepts and practices, especially with mixed-kinks, rather than patterns and hard rules, particularly with rope. Taking advantage of their ADHD, Ropeosaur brings creativity to their scenes, utilizing their chaotic energy to bring imagination, passion, and playful sadism to any space they share. Outside of kink, Ropeosaur is a full-time healthcare professional with a Master’s degree and is a Plant Daddy to their garden. Ropeosaur has had the pleasure of teaching at Dark Odyssey, Unabashed, SMIRC, as well as hosting several intensives. Ropeosaur’s home involvement in kink-world includes running Cyrenaics rope for RISQUE, where they mentor other Tops in their local community, as well as running private Queer community events from their home. Ropeosaur hopes to inspire others to explore and embrace Topping, regardless of size or gender expression.

LilServiceGoblin (she/her)
Has a deep love and passion for all things service, but mainly serving wine and charcuterie. When she is not serving she is often finding herself in some masochistic ropes for a sadist to enjoy their suffering. LilServiceGoblin also has a passion for gas masks of all kinds and when she not being LilServiceGoblin she can be found as Creature, a gas mask wearing critter who also loves to serve and suffer.
