This workshop explores how to use rope to create clear, intentional restrictions in the body — whether through tying limbs together, shaping posture, or connecting a body to itself, another person, or an object. We’ll work with positions such as hogties, folded and asymmetrical shapes, and tying to furniture, using accessible tools like single column ties, basic harnesses, and frictions.
To continue growing your shibari harness toolbox, you will learn Ceci’s arms front chest harness, a structured futomomo, and a crab tie. You can also continue practicing harnesses from the previous day’s workshop. This workshop gives you a first taste of techniques you will need for moving into shibari suspensions.
We’ll also cover practical considerations like transitions, adaptability for different bodies and flexibility levels, and maintaining awareness of safety while working with restriction.
This is a hands-on, exploratory space to better understand how rope shapes bodies, and how to make intentional choices about the kind of experience you’re creating.
You can absolutely join solo, but we can’t guarantee that you will find a partner to tie with at the event. A lot of the workshop contents are possible to self-tie (excluding the arms front harness). Watching the parts you can’t actively tie for also offers great learning opportunities as you have the possibility of witnessing all the feedback Ceci gives other students.
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.
