EVENTS

After being in emergency mode for the past few months, our bodies are in need of interactions that are soothing. We crave soft touch and feeling at home in our skin. At the same time, we are hungry for stimulation and miss the high we get from ecstatic dancing and quickened breath. We feel these different states complement each other and have the potential to be invigorating and healing.

Resonance is a percussive touch and sound journey facilitated by Anna Natt and Juergen Grözinger. Together we will create a resonant space in which you will be moved by the sound and pulse created by drums and gongs and feel the reverberations of instruments that touch your skin – floggers, feathers, canes, silk…

You are equally welcome to come and be immersed in the space without any physical interaction and just enjoy the resonance of the instruments (gong & drum bath).

What to bring

Wear comfortable clothing that allow you to sit or lie on the floor for the duration of the event.
Bring a towel.
Bring a blindfold and objects you would like to feel on the skin – toys, textiles, be creative!
Please be on time. We will begin with a preliminary round to discuss desires and boundaries and close together.

Dealing with change and loss – we all do it. All of the time.
In pandemic times we are confronted with a huge amount of change and loss on both personal levels and globally.

Mourning as a cultural skill or a community practice is often neglected or denied. Mourning is absolutely essential for our well being and our ability to adapt and transform when change and loss happen.
Mourning is super personal, and yet it is something that can connect us when we dare to show a glimpse or a huge wave of it. Mourning needs witness. Mourning also needs movement so it can contract and expand and does not get stuck in our bodies.

For some of us, just attending online events is so new and sometimes uncomfortable that it can bring out feelings of grief and and sorrow.

Let us be aware of that when we meet online and make time for feelings of grief, of sadness, of loss and maybe of feeling abandoned.
Let us be aware that holding each other and the feeling of being held and truly seen is difficult online.
This is why we will start with exercises that centre and ground and resource us.
These exercises are very simple breathing and body awareness techniques as well as working with images in our minds.

There will be some teaching about mourning and grief related to death, break ups, changes in our bodies, trauma, and ongoing oppression and injustice.

And finally there will be a sharing circle that invites you to talk about your own experiences with mourning and loss.

Some of the most beautiful and intense sessions I have had have been when I was playing someone else. Role play is a way to step away from our mundane self into the guise of another person.

Taking on the role of someone or something else can be very empowering and free us from restricting thought-patterns and act as a tool to ask for what we do not dare to when we are ourselves.

For many, one obstacle to role play is “performance anxiety”, the feeling that one will not have enough ideas, be able to stay in role or freeze up in the middle of everything. In this workshop we will focus on how to get into role, leaving behind any expectations of producing concrete results or
scenarios. Freeing ourselves from this expectation is what allows us to be creative and have fun while getting in touch with still unknown sides of oneself.

Bring costumes and props that inspire you!

This online class by Barkas & Addie invites the participants to enter an approach to rope bondage that is based on a dialogue of the tying partners rather than two monologues.

Addie and Barkas will cover some basic principles of the interview metaphor, including “punctuation”, “questions & answers”, “pauses”, “listening”, and “seeing”. With the help of some simple rope techniques we will explore major communication techniques. One of the main goals of this workshop is to help establishing a conscious communication between tying partners.

What you need to bring:

– you must be able to tie single and double column ties.

What else to know:

Addie & Barkas will also be physically at Karada House giving a masterclass in November.

If you are a marginalized person and cannot afford to buy a ticket to this class, feel free to contact us for free entry.

We are experiencing a moment in which many of us are not able to interact with others in the ways that normally make us feel connected. Many of us are feeling an acute lack of giving and receiving touch. However, we are also in a unique time in which we are experimenting with and discovering new ways of connection.

In this guided ritual, we will awaken our sense of touch and allow it to expand, perceive our bodies, our senses and the objects around us as instruments of touch that can guide us into a feeling of connectedness. This ritual is not about touching any particular part of the body or connecting to our orgasmic self, although that is certainly welcome.

You are invited to take these two hours to forget about being productive or bettering yourself. Let yourself enter into a state of awareness and celebrate the abundance of pleasure in and around us and know that is enough.

Everyone knows shame, even little children. Shame is, much like fury, an emotional state that many of us try to avoid. Others love it – and we use shame and embarrassment consciously for erotic fun and role play. It can be both very uncomfortable and very lusty – but it is always obviously palpable.
Shame is sumptuous. It protects our innermost core, and takes care of our dignity and integrity. To make someone feel shame, to celebrate shame, to bathe in shame, can be highly erotic.

We will examine our own experiences with shame and embarrassment both within and outside of play.
We will discuss negotiation, safety and aftercare as well as different play scenarios.
We will also discuss limits and boundaries tops and bottoms might need – especially when planning online play.
