SUMMARY:Rope Fundamentals: Shibari Starter Kit Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Kick off your rope journey with a weekend that bundles our entire Rope Fundamentals series into one playful\, beginner-friendly shibari workshop. \nAcross two days\, you’ll move from the simplest building blocks to a clear understanding of how harnesses work. Whether you’re brand new\, brushing off old skills\, or craving a solid base before exploring deeper techniques\, this weekend is designed to set you up with confidence\, creativity\, and connection. \nYou can bring someone to tie with or come solo and find a partner at the workshop. \nJoin us for the full journey\, or pick the day that suits you best: \nGet Your Saturday (Foundations & Fun)\, only ticket here.\nGet your Sunday (Nerdery & Harnesses)\, only ticket here. \nFoundations & Fun\nSaturday gives you the tools that make shibari fun — or intense\, or meditative\, or horny\, or whatever flavor of rope you want to create. Ceci will get you started with the most essential techniques: the lark’s head\, the single column tie\, clean wrapping\, managing tension\, and staying safe. Once those basics are in place\, we spend the rest of the day putting them to use in playful\, intuitive ways. \nWe’ll explore freestyle tying and improvisation to loosen the pressure of “doing it right.” Through one-rope exercises\, wrapping\, unwrapping\, and re-wrapping bodies\, you’ll learn to follow curiosity instead of memorizing patterns. Because rope isn’t static — people move — we’ll also practice guiding and responding to movement through levers\, spirals\, and simple transitions like sitting to standing or shifting limbs mid-tie. \nAlong the way\, we dive into the emotional and psychological effects of rope: how body positions\, pacing\, tension\, and proximity can shift headspace and shape intention. With just a few simple ties\, you’ll learn to create sessions that feel impactful\, intimate\, and expressive. \nTake aways:\n\nLarkshead & single column tie\nRope safety\nOne rope tying\, wrapping & unwrapping\nPlaying with different intentions and moods\nMoving bodies & tying in movement\n\nNerdery & Harnesses\nSunday is for the rope nerds (or for anyone ready to become one). Today we dive into the mechanics behind stable\, comfortable\, body-friendly tying. We’ll explore how to apply rope with intention\, how to create structures that fit real bodies\, and how to make your tying smoother\, safer\, and more efficient. \nYou’ll learn counter tensions\, ladder structures\, your first frictions\, and how to wrap with flow and consistency. These building blocks are what allow harnesses to hold their shape. We’ll also cover ergonomics and hand techniques\, like hooking and pulling rope\, so you can tie for longer without soreness or strain. \nWith these tools in place\, we’ll begin tying simple harnesses and\, more importantly\, understanding why they work. You’ll get a clear picture of the core components (anchors\, stems\, wraps\, frictions\, and cinches) and start recognizing the logic behind shibari structures. This modular thinking becomes the foundation for everything that comes after. \nTake aways:\n\nDouble column tie\nRope handling & ergonomics\nTension\, counter tension & ladders\nIntro to harnesses: anchors\, stems\, wraps\, frictions\, cinches\nFrictions: Half hitch\, full stop\, munter hitch\, in-line single column tie\nOne rope harnesses: chest harness\, futomomo\, box tie

SUMMARY:Rope Hangout: Outdoors
DESCRIPTION:A rope hangout is a welcoming\, peer-to-peer space where we research rope together\, connect\, and explore in a relaxed\, pressure-free atmosphere\, no matter your experience level. All forms of rope bondage (Japanese inspired shibari/kinbaku\, western style bondage\, decorative macrame…) are warmly invited. \nWhether you feel like tying or simply being present\, you’re welcome here. Enjoy non-alcoholic drinks\, snacks\, and easy conversation — sometimes just showing up is enough. There’s no pressure to perform\, teach\, or know anything in advance. Curiosity and your (imaginary) lab coat is all you need to bring. \nThis month’s special focus: Outdoors\n\nWhat should we take into consideration with tying outdoors? What are the best outdoor tying spots in Berlin? And if the weather is nice – have you tied in the Karada House garden yet? \nThe theme is an open invitation rather than a guideline. You’re always encouraged to follow your own interests\, bring questions\, share experiences\, or simply observe and take it all in. The space is shaped by what each person brings into it. \nNote: This is not a rope jam/play space. Rope Hangout is a peer learning environment.

SUMMARY:Beyond Ropes - The Music is in the Pauses
DESCRIPTION:So much of rope education focuses on patterns and positions and sequences. This workshop series with Barkas and Emmy goes in the opposite direction. In three parts we invite the participants to explore with us what lies in between and beyond mere rope techniques. From “un-planning” scenes and waiting for each other to the small but meaningful pauses.\nWe will demonstrate that people can get more out of rope not by learning yet another pattern or sequence.\nPart 1 (July 8th\, 7-10pm CEST): Planning or not planning a rope scene.\nWhat are the advantages and disadvantages or either of the approaches and how can we consent to what we can’t yet know?\nPart 2 (July 15th\, 7-10pm CEST): Pauses and what happens in them.\nWhen is it a good time to pause? How to communicate that this was intentional? And how to convey “planlessness” as a pause? \nPart 3 (July 22nd\, 7-10pm CEST): After the scene is before the scene.\nWhen to stop rope scenes if there is no prebuilt storyline or a goal? How do rope scenes influence each other and “communicate” through time.

SUMMARY:How To Play...
DESCRIPTION:Maybe you don’t know someone very well but both want to have fun\, hot\, or cute times with rope… how do you actually do that? Everyone wants to play\, but many of us don’t know how.\nThis session looks at practical ways to start to actually play in rope (with new partner or maybe partners we know very well but feel a bit stuck with) beyond repeating the same patterns or keeping things so ‘safe’ and familiar that you never really drop into your flow where you can express what you want or discover something new.\nFor me… play needs a mix of curiosity and fantasy\, a bit of vulnerability and confidence\, mixed with a big dose of fuck around and find out… so what helps cultivate that? And how do we navigate the pleasure and risk of trying tying with someone new\, doing this ‘play’\, building trust as you go?\nWhat will we cover\n\n\nNegotiating and upholding care in these situations – what’s important to know?\n\n\nHow can you create a sense of narrative through roles\, dynamics\, and intentions?\n\n\nHow do you begin a session and work with its ‘flow’? (What does this even mean?)\n\n\nWhat risks are you willing to take? What’s off limits? What consent practices actually work here?\n\n\nHow do you end things intentionally?\n\n\nLet’s unpick a bit of this language and see what it looks like in practical senses. We’ll approach this through discussion\, demo\, and reflection\, with space for your questions\, ideas\, and invitations to inspire your own exploration

SUMMARY:Intro to Suspension
DESCRIPTION:The goal of suspension\, in Addie’s understanding\, is not to do the most difficult thing or last the longest or take the most impressive picture\, but to enjoy an adventure\, support a partnership\, stay focused on humans rather than patterns\, and tailor the experience to best suit the individuals involved.\n\nThis two-part class is suitable for people who have never suspended but have a general idea of the principles\, as well as those who have some suspension knowledge and want to consolidate their practice and hone their skills.\n\n\nPart I: June 8th\, 2026\nPart II: July 13th\, 2026\n(ticket is for the ENTIRE SERIES)\n\n\n\nThis class does NOT require a TK/arms-in harness\, all ties can also be done from a chest harness. Addie will offer options to suit a variety of needs\, especially any that are expressed by class participants\, so bring your questions and situations!\n\nBetween the two classes we will cover:\n\n\nDiscussion of safety\, ways to get out of trouble quickly and elegantly.\nBuilding a scene\, interpersonal dynamics\, and thoughts on communicating needs while maintaining those dynamics.\nInformation for those being tied\, including nerve spotting\, testing ties to find ‘hot spots’\, and body mechanics tricks to help manage tension/strain.\nConsiderations when choosing suspension lines and some exercises to improve suspension line handling.\nA progressable partial suspension with option to turn into full suspension – great practice for line management\, body handling\, and keeping focus on the ‘big picture’ and partner interactions.\nSide suspension with options to add mini transitions – build this as complicated or straightforward as you want without making it harder to ‘exit’ smoothly.\n‘Falling with style’ – a highly modifiable partial-to-full suspension progression focusing on lowering rather than lifting through a variety of positions. This is useful for those who want to stay closer to the ground\, for tying folks who have concerns about grip strength\, or in pairings where the person tying is smaller/lighter than the person being tied. This suspension can be done with a variety of upper body ties\, including just a ‘safety’ line.\nTime dependent\, we will also learn a quick and easy suspensionable futomomo.

SUMMARY:Queer Rope Jam
DESCRIPTION:It’s queer rope jam time\, babes! Once in a while you gotta do ropey stuff amongst other queers and just enjoy yourself. No posing\, no being cool or extra good at doing ropey things needed. Come as you are\, exhale and enjoy yourselves. \nWhat is a rope jam?\nRope jams is an open space format. Part hangout\, part jamming with other like-minded people who are into rope bondage/shibari/kinbaku. Come and hang out and watch others do ropey stuff or do some yourself.  The queer rope jam is where you can bring your (rope) partner(s) or meet new people who love to tie\, be tied and/or self-tie. It is also a great space to have sessions in a safe(r) environment with people you do not know yet. \nWe welcome all styles\, all bodies\, all knowledge levels. There will be cute music\, extra special lighting and snacks. In the last hour of the jam\, we will lower the lights and music and make it extra cozy.

SUMMARY:Shibari Structures Toolbox: Building Blocks & Design Choices
DESCRIPTION:Shibari is not just about what you tie\, but how and why you build it. \nThis workshop focuses on the underlying structures that make ties functional\, adaptable\, and expressive. Instead of learning one fixed pattern\, you’ll develop a modular understanding of rope: how suspension harnesses are constructed\, how frictions shape tension and stability\, and how small design choices change both the look and feel of a tie. \nWe’ll work with core building blocks: wraps\, frictions (X\, L\, half-moon)\, and basic harness blueprints\, learning and understanding how to build a gote (TK/box tie)\, a hip harness\, and a mermaid tie. From there\, we’ll explore how different traditions and styles approach similar structures\, and what happens when you start modifying the blueprint. \nAlong the way\, we’ll look at body geometry\, balance\, and how to adapt ties to different bodies and intentions. The goal is not to memorize patterns\, but to understand the logic behind them so you can build\, adjust\, and tie with more confidence. \nThis workshop is ideal for those ready to move beyond fundamentals into more intentional and structured tying. \nWhat to expect\n\nHands-on work with core structural elements: wraps\, frictions\, and harness foundations\nIntroduction to key frictions (X\, L\, half-moon) and how they affect tension and stability\nA modular approach to building and modifying harnesses rather than memorizing patterns\nGote\, hip harness\, and mermaid tie\nExploration of different tying styles and how design choices shape outcomes\nFocus on body geometry\, balance\, and adapting structures to different bodies\n\nWho should join\n\nRiggers who are comfortable with basic frictions\, single/double column ties\, and simple harnesses\nPeople who want to understand why ties work\, not just how to replicate them\nThose looking to improve stability\, adjustability\, and intentional design in their rope\nAnyone curious about different styles of shibari and how to develop their own approach\nRope practitioners preparing for more complex floorwork or future suspensions

SUMMARY:Shibari Structures Toolbox Weekend
DESCRIPTION:A two-day deep dive into the building blocks of shibari: how structures are created\, and how they shape bodies. \nThis weekend brings together two complementary workshops based on our Rope Structures series\, that move from understanding how ties work to exploring what they do. On day one\, Building Blocks & Design Choices focuses on the foundations of structure: harness construction\, frictions\, and the design decisions that make ties stable\, adaptable\, and expressive. You’ll develop a modular way of thinking about rope\, moving beyond fixed patterns into understanding the logic behind them. You will learn a gote (arms behind the back tie)\, a mermaid tie\, and a hip harness. \nOn day two\, Restricting Bodies\, we apply those same building blocks to create intentional restriction. We’ll explore how rope can shape posture\, limit movement\, and create specific physical and emotional experiences\, working with positions\, connections\, and simple setups that bring structure into the body. You will learn Ceci’s arms front harness\, a futomomo\, a crab tie\, and how to connect body parts to harnesses and furniture. \nTogether\, these workshops offer a practical and exploratory approach to shibari: not just learning ties\, but learning how to build and use them with intention. The focus throughout is on adaptability\, body awareness\, and making informed choices\, whether you’re tying for aesthetics\, play\, or deeper exploration. \nYou can join for one day or both\, but attending the full weekend will give you the clearest sense of progression from structure to application.

SUMMARY:Shibari Structures Toolbox: Restricting Bodies
DESCRIPTION: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. \nTo 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. \nWe’ll also cover practical considerations like transitions\, adaptability for different bodies and flexibility levels\, and maintaining awareness of safety while working with restriction. \nThis 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. \nWhat to expect\n\nPractice with tying body parts together and creating restrictive positions\nExploration of classic positions (e.g.\, hogtie\, M-shape\, kata-ashi) and their variations\nWorking with harnesses\, single column ties\, and basic frictions to build restriction\nAttention to how restriction changes sensation\, movement\, and experience\nGuidance on adapting positions for different bodies\, flexibility\, and contexts\n\nWho should join\n\nRiggers and rope bottoms with solid fundamentals who want to explore restriction more intentionally\nPeople interested in how to use harnesses in play\nThose looking to expand their repertoire of positions for floorwork\nAnyone wanting to better understand how to create intensity safely and sustainably\nPractitioners curious about combining structure\, posture\, and environment (e.g.\, furniture)

SUMMARY:Beyond Ropes - The Music is in the Pauses
DESCRIPTION:So much of rope education focuses on patterns and positions and sequences. This workshop series with Barkas and Emmy goes in the opposite direction. In three parts we invite the participants to explore with us what lies in between and beyond mere rope techniques. From “un-planning” scenes and waiting for each other to the small but meaningful pauses.\nWe will demonstrate that people can get more out of rope not by learning yet another pattern or sequence.\nPart 1 (July 8th\, 7-10pm CEST): Planning or not planning a rope scene.\nWhat are the advantages and disadvantages or either of the approaches and how can we consent to what we can’t yet know?\nPart 2 (July 15th\, 7-10pm CEST): Pauses and what happens in them.\nWhen is it a good time to pause? How to communicate that this was intentional? And how to convey “planlessness” as a pause? \nPart 3 (July 22nd\, 7-10pm CEST): After the scene is before the scene.\nWhen to stop rope scenes if there is no prebuilt storyline or a goal? How do rope scenes influence each other and “communicate” through time.

SUMMARY:Rope Lab: Movement & Expression - Floor Transitions
DESCRIPTION:This is our experimental shibari playground for all skill levels. Each month explores a new topic — from shame and semenawa to performance\, advanced movement\, or the mythical “3rd rope” in TKs. We rotate between two themes\, always bringing new inspiration to your rope practice. Open to all levels with foundational knowledge. Bring your curiosity\, your questions\, and your rope. \nThis month we are focusing on: floor transitions – how to tie in movement on the floor\, find flow\, and create an emotional story arch by transitioning through different body positions. This class is suitable for all knowledge levels as long as you go the basics down. \nMovement & Expression\nThese classes are dedicated to the research of the body\, movement and the artistic side of shibari. The topic varies\, and can be anything from dancing with rope or tying people using plastic bags to adding decorative and supportive elements to your harnesses. Inspiration is guaranteed at the Rope Lab!

SUMMARY:Escapism Series\, Part I
DESCRIPTION:Who’s been there? You spend twenty minutes tying the cleanest\, prettiest gote of your life… and the person in ropes looks at you\, shrugs\, and casually wiggles themselves out like it was never that serious. Humbling. Kind of funny. And devinately annoying. \nThis workshop leans directly into that irony: shibari is often not inherently inescapable. So what happens when we stop pretending it does? Escapism is a lab-based\, curious\, slightly mean-spirited exploration of tying specifically for the purpose of not being able to get out. Not decorative rope. Not “it’ll probably hold.” Rope designed to trap\, frustrate\, and quietly ruin someone’s confidence in their escape talent. \nPart I: July 29th\, 2026\, 7-9.30pm CEST\nPart II: August 5th\, 2026\, 7-9.30pm CEST \nWe’ll fuck around with:\n\nMinimal rope vs. obscene amounts of rope\nSimple ideas pushed way too far\nPredicaments that look stupid until you’re inside them\nMean little concepts that rely more on physics\, leverage\, and bad choices than pretty patterns\nWhat if the smartest escape route becomes the worst option?\nWhat if struggling actively makes things harder?\nWhat if the tie isn’t complex at all — just deeply unfair?\n\nExpect experiments. Some will work. Some will fail hilariously.

SUMMARY:Rope Fundamentals: Simple Harnesses
DESCRIPTION:Start tying bodies! Learn foundational single-rope harnesses including an arms-free chest harness and a futomomo leg tie. You’ll use techniques like single column ties\, counter tension\, half hitches\, and full stops. If there’s time\, we’ll explore a one-rope box tie. Great for beginners ready to practice on partners or themselves.\n\n\nRope Fundamentals\n\n\nStart here if you’re new to rope\, want a solid foundation of shibari skills\, or need to get back to basics. You’ll learn the “what” and the “how” of tying: handling your rope\, basic knots\, simple harnesses\, and how rope can connect bodies and moods. We keep it relaxed\, safe\, and supportive.

SUMMARY:Queer Rope Jam
DESCRIPTION:It’s queer rope jam time\, babes! Once in a while you gotta do ropey stuff amongst other queers and just enjoy yourself. No posing\, no being cool or extra good at doing ropey things needed. Come as you are\, exhale and enjoy yourselves. \nWhat is a rope jam?\nRope jams is an open space format. Part hangout\, part jamming with other like-minded people who are into rope bondage/shibari/kinbaku. Come and hang out and watch others do ropey stuff or do some yourself.  The queer rope jam is where you can bring your (rope) partner(s) or meet new people who love to tie\, be tied and/or self-tie. It is also a great space to have sessions in a safe(r) environment with people you do not know yet. \nWe welcome all styles\, all bodies\, all knowledge levels. There will be cute music\, extra special lighting and snacks. In the last hour of the jam\, we will lower the lights and music and make it extra cozy.

SUMMARY:The Single Greatest Rope Exercise. Ever!
DESCRIPTION:Not an exaggeration! If Addie could teach everyone\, regardless of level\, just one exercise it would be this one. If ropes were music this would be an etude\, an exercise that can be practiced in different ways\, with different emphases\, to develop different techniques and skills. It covers protecting finger joints\, nailing and maintaining tension\, preventing rope burn\, and body handling and movement while tying. And it results in a suspensionable harness\, if you are into that! \nPeople are welcome to switch\, come solo and find someone to tie with\, or come solo and practice on themselves. Not quite as effective but still worthwhile.

SUMMARY:Basket Tie Variations & Transitions
DESCRIPTION:The basket harness is a versatile structure for creating semenawa-inspired shapes. Through subtle adjustments and different tying choices\, it can offer a wide range of experiences and emotional textures.\n\nThis workshop will focus on the basket harness itself:\nhow to build it\, adapt it to different bodies\, and use it intentionally to support the dynamics of a scene. \n\nWe will then explore a serie of transitions based on the basket\, examining different ways to attach uplines and transform the shape while maintaining continuity and progression.\n\nParticular attention will be given to the development of intensity\, exploring how each position can be deepened and refined before evolving into the next step of the session.

SUMMARY:Murasaki Haruan – Renbaku Salon
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an intimate salon-style evening with Murasaki Haruan\, centered around the practice of Renbaku – a unique approach to tying in which multiple riggers engage with a single person in ropes in sequence\, allowing emotional and energetic shifts to unfold. \nThis evening is not a traditional performance\, but rather a space for quiet observation\, reflection\, and learning. Murasaki will guide the experience\, either by taking part in the tying or offering live commentary as dynamics develop. Each session may explore how presence\, breath\, and subtle decisions in rope bondage shape the shared experience. \nThe evening will feature two tying sessions\, each lasting approximately 30–40 minutes\, with a short break and group reflection between them. Whether through quiet intensity or gentle connection\, this event offers a rare opportunity to witness and reflect on the depth of interactions that rope bondage can evoke. \nSession 1: Murasaki + tba tying tba\nSession 2: Murasaki + tba tying tba

A deeper complexity emerges\, not in knots and patterns\, but in the interpersonal and vulnerable.\n \nThis two-day intensive workshop with Murasaki Haruan offers a rare opportunity to step over that threshold.\n \nRooted in the philosophy of Yukimura-ryu\, this is not a workshop about acquiring more patterns\, more ties\, or more theatrics. Instead\, it is an invitation to deliberately return to the fundamental sequences 片足開脚（KataAshi Kaikyaku) and 獣縛りKemono)\, and to explore them with a level of attention that transforms the familiar into something more profound.\n \nAcross 12 hours of in-person teaching\, these two sequences will be examined from multiple perspectives. Through repetition\, variation\, and subtle adjustment\, participants will begin to encounter the depth that only reveals itself over time. This is a practice of refinement\, where intention replaces habit\, and nuance becomes the language. It is a challenge in patience and stepping outside your comfort zone.\n \nMurasaki’s teaching does not follow a westernized format. It draws from a distinctly Japanese approach to transmission: slow\, immersive\, and often indirect. Meaning is not always explained – it is experienced\, sensed\, and gradually understood. Like an apprentice observing a master over years\, participants are invited to engage not only with what is shown\, but with what is implied.\n \nThe weekend includes exercises\, demonstrations\, and renbaku – a format in which participants take turns tying the same model alongside the teacher – offering an intimate lens into timing\, touch\, and presence. Conversation and reflection are woven throughout\, creating space for insight to emerge organically.\n \nThis is not about learning more. It is about diving deeper into what you already think you know.\n \nWhat to expect\n\n\nA deep exploration of one foundational Yukimura form into advanced territory\n\nGuided exercises focusing on precision\, timing\, and intention \n\nRenbaku practice: rotating through the same model with the instructor \n\nDemonstrations that emphasize subtlety over spectacle \n\nA non-linear teaching style rooted in observation and embodied learning \n\nSpace for discussion\, reflection\, and quiet integration \n\n\nWho is it for\n\n\nExperienced shibari practitioners with a rooted tying practice \n\nThose who have explored complex structures and now seek depth over novelty \n\nPractitioners interested in traditional Japanese approaches to learning \n\nIndividuals drawn to refinement\, restraint\, and nuanced expression \n\nThose willing to engage with challenge\, repetition\, and subtlety\n\n\nApplication\nThis masterclass works with applications\, only.
