Can we just be real about the very real uncertainty and vulnerability that comes with holding space for someone else?! This is a class for anyone feeling unsure, anxious, or like they just keep fumbling their way through topping and not finding their flow- let’s build more confidence by exploring ideas and trying tools and tips to tap into more ease and fun in ways that feel simple and true to you
This session will cover:
- Ways to begin and ways to end: building rituals and soft structures to hold yourself and your scenes
- Finding and playing with your unique sense of presence, authority and top space in ways that feel good and authentic to you
- What to do when your mind goes blank, anxiety kicks in, or you forget what comes next
- Shifting out of the default – ideas to expand your range if you get stuck doing the same thing or keep reverting to your comfort zone (but need more options!)
- Is it ok? Is it safe? What if I fuck up!? Experimenting with confident ways to check in (and what to do when things aren’t going to plan)
- Exercises to explore your pleasure – What do you want? What do you enjoy? Balancing your wants and needs as a top if you often find yourself oriented towards your partners wants and needs.

More Information
LGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity, meaning: lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer/fluid, queer, intersex, asexual, aromantic, agender.
Friends describe 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 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 proactively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
After your successful ticket purchase, you will be sent an email with the Zoom login data for this event. If you do not receive it, message us with your order number so we can send it again. Some email services "disappear" our messages so please check if you received our login data email.
If this session includes a recording you can obtain it by simply purchasing a ticket. You will automatically get access to the live class and the recording as they come in a package. The recording login data will be sent out 24–48h after the live event and will be available for (at least) 14 days after the live event. Please note these classes are places for experience, not for instruction. Nothing here is tested or graded — only perceived, felt, and shared. All offerings are invitations to reflect — no curriculum, no exam, no training. Recordings exist solely to support personal integration and are available only for a limited time.
Yes, because you are paying for the knowledge our facilitators distribute, not for the access to Zoom itself. We kindly ask you to respect that and pay accordingly.
