Tying someone up is fun. Tying someone up with intention is more fun. Tying someone up with intention, while in a power dynamic adds multiple layers of fun, hotness, and depth into the session. This is a workshop on combining power and control, injecting a D/s dynamic into shibari.
You already know your way around rope and want to explore what it means to use bondage as a tool for power exchange – not just as a tool for restriction. We’ll look at how restraint shapes a scene, how to use position, exposure, and control to build tension, and how to actually inhabit the dominant role instead of just performing it. We’ll also explore how it feels to be on the receiving end and the many flavors of submission in rope.
We’ll be queer, kinky, and completely uninterested in the norms of domination.
What to expect
- Shibari as a tool for power exchange: position, restriction, exposure
- Dominant presence, gestures, postures, and rope handling
- Submission in ropes – beyond closing your eyes and giving in
- Combining technical rope decisions with intentional scene-building
Who should join
- You have already been tying and want to take your rope session to a new level
- You’re already exploring both shibari and D/s but are unsure of how to combine them
- You’re a bottom or submissive who wants to find tools to collaborate in making magic
- You’re switchy and greedy for all the perspectives

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.

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.
