This is a practical workshop to dip your feet into caning or to just have a moment of painful fun in your day. We will talk about the safety of caning, show you how to do it, and then it’s your turn to explore the drumming of flesh. You can come solo and find a partner in class or come with a person. Be prepared to both give and receive pain if you pair up at the workshop.
Note:
Caning can produce very prominent bruising and swelling, in some cases even a mild fever. These effects are not correlated to the amount of perceived pain. We will not have a break during the workshop.

Who is this event for?
LGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity, meaning: lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer/fluid,
Friends describes people of any and all kinds of gender and sexual identities who are aware and respectful of the necessity, needs, and boundaries of a queer safe(r) space and its marginalized community.
When you consider yourself a friend you show acknowledgement to and are respectful of everyone’s self-expression and do not assume, presume or project non-consensual ideas onto others. You actively request and use people’s chosen pronouns. You remain mindful of the fact that Karada House is first and foremost a space for queer people that you are also invited to attend. You have a genuine concern for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and remain in awareness of heterosexual and gender straight privileges.
Friends don’t have to be perfect. None of us are. We request that we all pro-actively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
