EVENTS

Over 4 consecutive weeks Caritia will offer her perspective on exploring rope using the elements.

Each workshop will be a stand alone workshop, though some crossover may arise in the approach the taste of each will be different. Caritia’s class will give you pause for thought, as she invites you to add a touch of the spiritual and the kinky to your rope play.

This workshop requires previous experience of Upper Body Ties, as there will be a partial suspension element to this workshop.

Week 4

Exploring the element of air. 

What do you need 

At least 8 to 10 ropes, plus safety shears 

Comfortable clothes to tie or be tied 

Bring with you, feathers, fans, 

We cordially invite you to the vernissage of Shantel Liao’s exhibition On/Under the Skin + Berlin Premiere of SPELLBOUND + shibari performance Mayfly by Gestalta & Shantel Liao.

Exhibition Shantel Liao

Shantel Liao started with photography and later mixed-media calligraphy. She is fascinated by the power of identity nowadays, how it shaped us in various ways, physically and mentally. From gender to culture, how we connected with our own history and the greater environment. Solo and group exhibitions were hold in Taipei, Tokyo, L.A., Athens and Paris since 2010.

Film Screening SPELLBOUND

The vernissage evening will also include the Berlin premiere of Uli Kaffei’s short film SPELLBOUND, featuring Gestalta + Marika (Gorgone). There will be a Q&A after the screening with the director and the protagonists.

Shibari performance Mayfly

‘Mayfly’ is an ongoing collaboration between calligraphy artist Shantel Liao and shibari artist Gestalta. It takes its name from a text in the oldest existing collection of Chinese poetry (‘Classic of Poetry’ – c. 11th – 7th century BC), which grieves the short yet beautiful life of a mayfly, and is used as a repeating motif throughout. It explores the tensions between nature and development, as we learn how to inhabit the space in-between our heritage, and an increasingly uncertain future.

The Gestalta masterclass will give participants the chance to familiarise themselves with Gestalta’s own approach to shibari.

As a rigger who also has extensive experience on the other side of the ropes, Gestalta aims to teach rope with a focus on the body of the tied partner in all areas of shibari practice.

Topics covered will include:

• Body mechanics, both in and out of rope, on the floor and in the air.
• The body within the takatekote.
• The third rope – and varying it according to your situation.
• Understanding the body in basic suspension positions such as yokozuri, hikyaku-zuri, aomuke-zuri, gyaku-ebi-zuri.
• Rope handling and „unstructured“ suspension.

Depending on the level of the participants, other topics could include:

• Alternative harnesses: Hands free chest harness, hands in front harness, strappado, hip or leg harness.
• Kata-ashi-zuri (with transitions)
• Working with torsions Bamboo harnesses
• Floorwork and partials for play and/or torture

Requirements:

You must be of intermediate level to participate.  That means that you must be able to confidently demonstrate a suspension worthy chest harness (any style), and the knowledge of working with suspension lines.

You must also have a partner to work with and a set of minimum 8 ropes. Switching is allowed when a new exercise starts but not within one exercise.

If you need help finding a partner or if you want to purchase rope, please contact us at info@karada-house.de.

This event is intended for individuals who self-identify as queer and/or womxn.

Ticket price:

The ticket price is 300 Euros per pair.

About Gestalta:

“My approach to shibari has evolved as the result of over a decade of practice on both sides of the ropes and a broad range of influences which I appropriate, mix and develop in my own practice. This has shaped my teaching style into one that seeks to reflect the experience of both tying partners on a deep level. I have a strong belief that shibari should not be prescriptive and encourage students to explore it as a flexible set of tools; adapting each tie to the body of the tied partner, and to their needs and desires within each individual situation. My teaching process aims to enable this by giving students a framework of the fundamental principles behind shibari; including safety efficiency and fluency, but also body awareness, communication, and conscious consideration of their own experiences and motivations.

I absorbed most of my technical rigging style a natural process of observation and experience from inside the ropes of the people I was tied by as a model. In this respect I have been lucky to have had a broad range of influences from both Japan and the west.”

More info:

Gestalta will also do a performance on November 22nd at our vernissage event together with the calligraphy artist Shantel Liao. She is furthermore protagonist of the film SPELLBOUND that will also be showing that night.

Engage with and enjoy the art of shibari at our mixed bondage jam. No matter your role or knowledge level, we invite you to join like-minded people for an evening of engaged and fun shibari.

Karada House offers you a lot of space in its „old stable hall“ that has a range of hanging points pre-installed. You just need to bring your ring. We also offer some spaces with pre-installed bamboo. But that is not all. For those of you who’d like to engage in the art and delicacies of floor work we have dedicated „the pink room“ solely for that purpose.

We also provide a chill-out area and drinks for you.

First time? No problem.

Please join us right at 6:30 pm for an introduction into the space, the jam itself and some advise as how to navigate a jam and how to engage with people.

Introverted? No problem.

Just send us a message beforehand and we will help you navigate the evening and find like-minded people to engage with.

Use your body in a vastly different way. Restricted, restrained, maybe even tamed – our bodies are subdued to very strict rules and movements in our daily lives. Time to get primal and rough. Rough body play allows for more fighting, emotions and a deeper exploration of power dynamics than play fights.

Once a month we open Karada House for Queers & Womxn for 2,5 hours of randori (free fights) time to try your new skills and have fun. You will get an introduction into

• warm-up exercises

• consent & safety

• dos & don’ts

After that – fight!

What to consider & what to bring:

Please assess your body abilities and health situation thoroughly. RBP can be an intense experience, both physically and mentally and only you can estimate if this is right for you. While we cover safety aspects everything at the event happens at your own risk. Ideally you are open to experience both sides of RBP as well as interact with other.

Bring sports wear or other flexible/comfortable clothes, ideally covering elbows and knees to avoid „mat burn“. Keep in mind that sometimes clothes get destroyed by accident. A change of clothes as well as a towel or two are also needed.

Polyamory and kink have two main things in common:

1. They have the potential to provide you with a huge variety of relationship dynamics that can fulfill your longings to the fullest.

2. They can be unexpectedly complicated to navigate. A challenge that requires communication, tempered with trust and mutual respect.

As emotional dynamics interact and collide with kink dynamics, wants and needs of multiple people come into focus with unspoken wishes revealing themselves, desiring to be seen. Relationships that are both poly and kinky can develop complexities, ripple effects and dependencies that each individual strives decode or had not seen in the first place, let alone on the horizon.

So what to do? How to navigate the intricacy of these combined dynamics and make it a garden full of open expression and kink?

Caritia & Mamana are both in long term, polyamorous connections with a variety of lovely people, that include diverse dynamics and kinks. Together they will share, as well as hold space for a group, who describes themselves or self identify as being curious about, fully into or working on a kinky, poly or combined link to both.

Proposed topics for discussion:

• relationship constructs
• intersectional dynamics that can develop in poly-kinky relationships
• possibilities to navigate complex relationship constructs
• how to cherish and thrive within these relationships
• how to create intersectional dynamics that benefit everyone
• boundaries
• communication techniques (for before and after things go wrong)
• informative anecdotes

Each will share a little about what brought them to this place in their dynamics, with their aim to hold space for a discussion of the different aspects, personal experiences and thoughts on this complex, emotional and intersectional subject (and group).

There is a special thrill that comes when you allow someone to bring you to your edge. It is quite a luxury to be the recipient of a carefully crafted scenario in which you can fully let go and explore your fears and taboos.

Feeling the power placed in your hands to explore someone’s outermost limits also provides a particular rush. It is both a privilege and a responsibility to create a space in which someone feels they can surrender to you.

Trust is essential when playing on the edge and only possible when all involved agree to slow down, listen to the other’s body language and agree to share the responsibility of communication. We give up control in many situations every day, our boundaries are approached and overstepped, often without our consent. Doing so in a safer space, giving someone permission to do so can be an empowering experience and can inform us of ways to set boundaries in other parts of our life.

Together with Anna Natt we will slowly explore this territory, allowing ourselves to reach the edge.

Wild Unicorns is a sex-positive, kink-positive, body-positive pop-up play space that welcomes womxn and all people of the whole spectrum of queerness who are interested in co-creating a mellow, sensual and chill evening in our drug-free, safe(r) play space that allows for everyone to be engaged and have fun. Less talk, more feels, baby.

You are encouraged to be the wild unicorn you always wanted to be and come as you feel the most empowered and alive. Dress up or not. Be yourself or slip into a role. We wish to create a play space that allows you to let your walls down, be comfortable, feel into your desires and allow them to develop.

We will create spaces for all kinds of interactions in the house and guide you towards a (con)sensual, erotic and fun night.

What we offer:

• an open play space that also includes more intimate spaces for your play and fun

• cushions, mats, mattresses, sofas

• a kitchen/bar with non-alcoholic drinks, teas, snacks and ceremonial cacao

• bathrooms with shower

• hanging points/bamboo/rings for your shibari fun

• a massage area

• a lounge area

How it works:

• 8pm-9pm arrival, after that the doors are closed

Remember the days where you could spend hours rubbing against someone else with all of your clothes on? Teetering on the edge of orgasm, slippery with desire…

In this workshop, we will hump ourselves into a sweaty frenzy. With the awkward enthusiasm of a horny teenager, we will dive into the art of humping and explore different techniques from the obvious to more nuanced and subtle executions. We will return to the romantic days of being a teenager, revisit the nervousness of asking someone out and relive the times we could spend whole evenings on the couch dry humping with our crush.

Our aim is to create a space that is safe for you to conjure your inner teenager and play. We might go to second base, maybe third, but we will never go “all the way”!

Breath, both physical and invisible, it offers an opportunity to play deep, to stimulate fear and test our limits. Breathing is one of our autonomic responses, unconsciously governed, but to some extent we can choose if and at what rate we breathe. Breathing offers contact with our basic sense of physical living, of the boundary between life and death, of our own feelings of powerlessness or control.

This is a practical workshop with simple suggestions for playing on the more psychological side of breath play, it is NOT about chokeholds, ligatures or asphyxiation responses. While a small amount of attention will be given to Jay Wiseman and their extensive writing and authority on breath play (the information is worthwhile to consider), this workshop is about OTHER ways of playing with breath.

Breath play LITE workshop WILL cover, drowning, smothering, face sitting, D/s in breath, using breath for connection and control, co-breathing and a few tricks with common household items. Part demonstration, part participation, FULL creative exploration and discovery of how breath play could work for you and with your style of play. byo clingfilm/plastic bag.

SAFETY and basic first aid will be covered as a matter of course.

As after care we will have a nice cup of tea.

Ouch! Needle Play

Caritia’s aim over this evening, is to give a broad overview / 101 on the topic of needle play. She will share her knowledge and hopes to provide some insight about why anyone would choose to enter into this type of game. Offering safety tips and concerns. How it can potentially benefit – body, mind and spirit. Common practices. General how tos.

All necessary equipment will be supplied. Participants are asked to wear casual comfortable clothing and /or a clothes to change into. No one is expected to be nude.

The structure for the evening

• Meditation
• Introduction
• Health and safety essentials ( equipment, clean up, risks)
• Why would anyone do needle play?
• Effects to the body
• Hands on practical
• Feedback & closing meditation

Be aware that this can be a challenging topic and everyone attending is asked to check-in on their personal boundaries and to inform Caritia in advance of possible triggers.

How from a kink life perspective do you navigate the intricacies of consensual act that you did not consent to? Yes it’s a tricky one, however there are strategies and playful ways in which this type of play can take you deeper into your love for kinky play.

We will be using risk, aware, consensual, kink ideology and diving into parts of the psychology.

What are our personal desires, topics to uncover and how does this type of play fits for individuals?
It takes communication, trust, truth and not running away from your shadows / deeper longings. Consensual Non Consent is an edge game that requires negotiation, understanding, empathy and time. In this introduction evening we walk through some of the steps to navigating this edge game and knowing when to move forward, as well as how & when to step back.

This is a discussion as well as exercise based workshop. You may wish to come with a close friend, partner or connection. Listening and observing are also forms of participation, if you wish to come alone. There will be small groups, as well as pair and solo exercises.

Bring comfortable clothes, a paper, book to write in and questions.

The witch has long been celebrated, feared and punished as a symbol of sexual power, femme/female autonomy and an inherent threat to patriarchy. In a society that shames women and femmes for their sexuality, many of us have lost our connection to the ancient practice of Sex Magick and in turn been cut off from our most powerful form of magic – our erotic energy and orgasm.

Witches and sluts have a long historical importance within feminism – both words being used as weapons to punish sexually autonomous and empowered women before being reclaimed by women queers and trans folk as forms of personal power. I want to teach you to harness that power, and work with your sexual energy to manifest your goal and desires.

In this workshop we will learn a little about the history of sex magick, help you tap in to your own sexual power and cultivate your personal sex magick rituals to create positive change in your life through orgasmic power.

We will also learn more about

• giving back to yourself when you are overworked and mentally tired
• connecting to your body and getting into tune with your sexuality
• creating self-care rituals to re-ignite and take care of your own sexuality
• using the power of eroticism to harness your strength and manifest your goals
• using your orgasm and sexual energy to create powerful changes in your life

Come live your teen witch fantasies in my queer and trans inclusive Charmed School and unlock the sexwitch within!

P.s. This workshop is an explicitly trans inclusive space.

If play fights and rough body play are your thing but you want to go deeper than usual play fights allow then this workshop is for you. Primal Rough Body Play goes deeper into the primal and/or D/s dynamics, allowing for a slow build up of confidence, trust and primal energies throughout the day.

René & Mamana will slowly guide you into the deeper end of rough body play. In order to get there safely and with lots of fun they will teach the following:

• do’s & don’ts of RBP

• techniques such as: beating, slapping, kicking & holds

• consent, safety, negotiations

• D/s and primal dynamics, how to build them up and navigate them

• allowing your primal/animalistic nature to emerge and play with it

• dominating/conquering vs. submitting/letting go

• loads space & time to experiment hands-on training (literally)

In order to participate:

Please assess your body abilities and health situation thoroughly. RBP can be an intense experience, both physically and mentally and only you can estimate if this is right for you. While we cover safety aspects everything at the event happens at your own risk. Ideally you are open to experience both sides of RBP as well as interact with others as this is not mainly a couples event.

What to bring:

sports wear or other flexible/comfortable clothes, ideally covering elbows and knees to avoid „mat burn“. Keep in mind that sometimes clothes get destroyed by accident. A change of clothes as well as a towel or two are also needed.

Further information:

• You do not need prior experience to participate.

• You do not need to bring a partner to participate but you can, if you like.

• You should be comfortable with interacting with other people for exercises.

Your own shame

Everyone knows shame, even little children.
Shame is, much like anger, an emotional state that most of us try to avoid at all cost.
Some of us love it in play – and use shame and embarrassment consciously for erotic stimulation 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, our dignity and our integrity.

To celebrate shame, to bathe in it, can be highly erotic. And, it can be very satisfying to do this to someone who craves it, and truly lose yourself in the pleasure of it all.

In the first part of the workshop, we will examine our own experiences with shame and embarrassment through conversations and body and breath exercises.

Negotiation, Safety and Aftercare

In the second part, we focus on Negotiation, Safety and Aftercare.

Whoever shames or humiliates others in the play, will sooner or later come up against their own inner beast… What does it take to be a real asshole, while still caring for oneself and the bottom? What does proper aftercare entail?

Shaming others, and allowing oneself to be shamed: Play and exercises dealing with humiliation

Whoever wishes to be humiliated, needs intention.
This is not meant as intellectual bullshitting or exaggerated psychoanalysis, rather as a heartfelt desire behind the request of ‚interrogate and rough me up‘ or ‚make me blush‘. Maybe it’s actually ‚I want an intense orgasm‘ or ‚I want to be rid of my ego for a while‘, or ‚I want to know what it’s like to feel shame on my own terms, rather than being exposed to it unexpectedly‘.

Various scenarios and role play options will be suggested and discussed, and if desired, can be tried in short play scenarios . Who does not wish to participate, may use this time instead for planning of humiliation scenarios.

In order to create a trusting atmosphere where tops, bottoms and switches can have exchange on their own terms there is often the possibility to divide up into smaller groups. Sensitivity around all kinds of differences and positionings on all levels is expected of participants.

You are invited to join Caritia in preparing for December’s Full Moon.

As  we move into our Winter months and Sagitairus season is in full flow, the next Full Moon will be on 12 December, in Gemini. In preparation for it’s arrival Caritia will offer ideas & tools to bring participants into focus with the shifts of energy within ourselves.  It’s purpose to activate body awareness on all it’s levels – physical, emotional, spiritual. This is a Fire – Air Moon.

What shifts can you make alone?

Would it be best to sit in the fire of a situation to absorb the lessons that are there waiting to be discovered? Would being witnessed by others help?

What would be healthy and nourishing to manifest into your life?

What tools and ideas would you like to use for this cycle?

Caritia will hold space and guide this circle, giving space to individual processes to flourish, on to paths of their own choosing. Inspiring the creation of small, medium and large rituals that carry forward into day to day life and practices. With space to reflect, create, draw, write, mind map and empower each person who joins the circle. Ready yourself to be witnessed, seen, vulnerable and captivating under the energy of the Moon.

The structure for these gatherings will be :

• Opening Meditation

• Introduction

• What are your potential tools, with examples?

. Building on existing intentions and desire

• Creative exercises – where to draw inspiration from? What type of work do I wish to do? And with who?

This will be a mixture of hands on work and discussion.

Ah, the wonderful art of easy pleasure and pain. Pressure points are the lazy dom(mes) and sadists very best friends. How easy and wonderful to play with them. If you know how that is! Caritia will teach you the in’s and out’s, the intricacies and she will broaden your horizons in terms of useful application that goes way beyond the play with luscious pain. Get your anatomy lessons and an intriguing sensation exploration at the same time.

What you will get in this workshop:

• warm up

• thorough anatomy 

• how pressure points work

• a study and hand-on trial of different sensations

Ceremonial cacao is a gentle connection and partnership facilitator. For some it’s the chocolate deva, a divine goddess that visits you and opens your heart and allows your walls to gently get lowered, allowing feelings to emerge. For others it’s the theobromine that pure cacao contains which gently changes the way you feel and connect to others. Either way, ceremonial cacao has wonderful qualities that help you to open up, relax and feel yourself and others in a different way.

Shibari can also be a wonderful facilitator of connection allowing you to let go and connect with your partner in many ways, whether it’s on the floor or in the air, dynamic like ichinawa (one-rope) practices or more static and contained.

Together we will indulge in a sensual, warm and gentle evening of cacao & rope, enhanced by the warm and safe environment of Karada House, some essential oils and meditation.

Mamana will lead you through a small cacao ceremony. After you have indulged in the „food of the gods“, Caritia will guide you into a rope session that will allow you to get closer, open up and enjoy a wonderful evening.

What you need to know:

Do not eat huge meals the day of the event.

Avoid spicy foods, alcohol during the day before the ceremony.

Drinks lots of water as cacao can be dehydrating.

If you are pregnant, on antidepressants or anti-psychotics [SSRI’s], have low blood pressure, liver conditions or are prone to migraines, cacao might not be for you. You can try a lower dosage on your own risk, if you wish or just enjoy the event with a refined cacao drink for warmth and comfort.

What you need to bring:

Bring yourself, ropes and comfortable clothing. You can bring a partner (who needs a separate ticket) if you wish. However, bringing a partner is not a requirement.

For this Winter Solstice Caritia invites those who feel called to join her in a collective (annual) journey into death, rebirth, manifestation and empowerment.

You are invited to become witness, participant and space holder, for this multiple disciplined, interconnected body based ritual experience, giving space for release and detachment. (Leaving rise for energy and expansion.) For those of us on the Northern Hemisphere, as the darkest day arrives and the longing for the light calls to us, Caritia chooses to celebrate the shifts and changes she has gone through, in shared, collaborative time with others. Choosing inner time to rejoice and celebrate who you are, changes made, reflections on what has been and what awaits to be summoned in.

What longs to die within? Where is it within your body? What beautiful embodied ritual would you like to create to let go of this energy that no longer serves?

Caritia’s aim to offer 3 ritual sessions to individuals or a small group (4 or less) that would involve one kink embodied practice that she would facilitate. The options are wide and unique. Witnessed by the group who gathers for the evening. As Caritia works with each selected ritual, the collective gathered will be asked to witness, in open listening with grace and heart.

Participants are asked to write directly to Caritia at caritia@karada-house.de, so she may curate the evening for all to enjoy, feel enriched by and create openings to alternative perspectives.

With love <3

Be advised this event will touch on sensitive topics, so check your boundaries and limits before purchasing a ticket.

Imagine … you are confronted with exciting tango music by another person. You lower your head, narrow your gaze, like a cat that targets it’s prey and begins to approach the other person in the rhythm with the music. In front of this person you start to stretch your hand very slowly and controlled forward, past the cheek and grab firmly into the hair, building tension – the game begins. The mouth opens slightly and the breath gets heavier. Dedication seems to please your partner. It can go on. You can now lead them through the room or with the other hand explore the body playfully, sometimes gently as a little caress, sometimes grabbing to get a little moan in response.

Explore your inner cat.

Karada House offers you a lot of space in its „old stable hall“ that has a range of hanging points pre-installed. You just need to bring your ring. We also offer some spaces with pre-installed bamboo. But that is not all. For those of you who’d like to engage in the art and delicacies of floor work we have dedicated „the pink room“ solely for that purpose.

We also provide a chill-out area and drinks for you.

First time? No problem.

Please join us right at 7:30 pm for an introduction into the space, the jam itself and some advise as how to navigate a jam and how to engage with people.

Introverted? No problem.

Just send us a message beforehand and we will help you navigate the evening and find like-minded people to engage with.

Use your body in a vastly different way. Restricted, restrained, maybe even tamed – our bodies are subdued to very strict rules and movements in our daily lives. Time to get primal and rough. Rough body play allows for more fighting, emotions and a deeper exploration of power dynamics than play fights.

Once a month we open Karada House for Queers & Womxn for 2,5 hours of randori (free fights) time to try your new skills and have fun. You will get an introduction into

• warm-up exercises

• consent & safety

• dos & don’ts

After that – fight!

What to consider & what to bring:

Please assess your body abilities and health situation thoroughly. RBP can be an intense experience, both physically and mentally and only you can estimate if this is right for you. While we cover safety aspects everything at the event happens at your own risk. Ideally you are open to experience both sides of RBP as well as interact with other.

Bring sports wear or other flexible/comfortable clothes, ideally covering elbows and knees to avoid „mat burn“. Keep in mind that sometimes clothes get destroyed by accident. A change of clothes as well as a towel or two are also needed.

A classical “Kaffee und Kuchen” is typically celebrated on Sundays. Unfortunately, they seem to have forgotten the most important ingredient in enjoying this delicious tradition…corporal punishment.

We will begin with activities to ground and center us in our body and explore our own desires before moving into contact with others. Consent exercises and interactions will follow that aid us in negotiating play with partner(s). Finally, the space will be opened up in order to celebrate this most German of rites done the right way.

Explore serving and being served, kick up your feet and eat sweets brought to you on gilded platters. Revel in the joys of punishment for a service not well enough done while enjoying delicious confections.

Event details & application:

This is a semi-guided play event. Your experience level is not of importance. You must fill out the application before being invited to the event as we want to make sure a good balance of D- & s-type persons is available. Deadline for the application is February 7th, 2020.

Price:

The event is 20 Euros/person and includes cake, coffee and tea.
