Kosmick (they/them) has been getting tangled in knots most of their adult life, with an interest in the beauty and narrative power of bondage reaching back into childhood stories of damsels in distress. They began studying rope bondage in 2011, and intensified that study in 2016 after joining the Ottawa BDSM community. As an instructor, Kosmick takes an approach of breaking down classic structures and forms, with an emphasis on *why* things are tied the way they are, and an examination of the decision making processes of a tie. They are committed to demystifying rope bondage and empowering learners at all levels to experiment with what they know and pursue avenues to have fun with their rope. They view rope as a tool of expression, and look to inspire others to build connection and intimacy through their tying.

Sara/Josdine (she/her) connected with the rope community and started getting tied back in 2013 in Vancouver, BC. Her love for the craft has continued to grow over the years as has her drive to build and support the community around her. Branching out to self tying, tying partners, and hanging out in trees, rope weaves into all parts of her life. Previously teaching with Ottawa Twisted Kink, she is excited to bring her experiences and passion to education at Probe.
