SUMMARY:Rope Fundamentals: Psychological Effects of Tying
DESCRIPTION:Rope creates sensation and emotion. In this class\, you’ll explore how body positions and spatial relationships affect the mood and headspace of your partner. Using simple ties\, you’ll experiment with emotional intention in your rope. \nRope Fundamentals\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:Rope in the Air: Torsion
DESCRIPTION:Let’s twist things up. Use your choice of chest harness with a half mermaid tie to create spiraling shapes in the air. Learn how to lift and lower into torsion safely while paying close attention to balance and body tension. You will learn about lifting vs. lowering into suspension in the process. \nRope in the Air\nYou’ve got your groundwork sorted. Now we take things up — literally. Learn suspension techniques from easy to challenging in these classes offering content from beginner suspensions to pushing limits.

SUMMARY:The Fat Rope Hang
DESCRIPTION:This is a space dedicated to everyone self-identifying as fat who’s into shibari or other types of rope bondage. We will luxuriate\, rant\, do rope\, and just generally engage in revolutionary action. \nTogether\, we’ll center fat joy\, fat bodies\, and fat experience in rope — without apology and without shrinking ourselves. This gathering prioritizes comfort\, accessibility\, and unmasking\, with an emphasis on sharing knowledge\, building confidence\, and unlearning the ways mainstream rope spaces often exclude or overlook us. \nWhat will happen?\nThe Fat Rope Hang is not a class or performance space. It’s a facilitated hang where you’re welcome to: \n\nTie or be tied at your own pace\nShare frustrations\, wins\, and questions about navigating rope as a fat person\nExperiment\, rest\, watch\, talk\, or simply exist in community\nCelebrate adaptations\, creativity\, and what works for your body\n\nAll skill levels are welcome. You do not need to arrive with a partner\, a plan\, or a specific goal. Consent\, communication\, and care (for yourself and others) are core values of this space. You can bring a non-fat rope partner with you. \nThe Fat Rope Hang is about visibility\, connection\, and pleasure in taking up space. Come as you are. Stay as long as you like. Let your body be part of the revolution.

SUMMARY:Rope Structures: Arms-Free Chest Harness
DESCRIPTION:Create gorgeous chest harnesses that leave the arms free. Learn a diamond (hishi) pattern\, adjust it for different body shapes\, and practice both self-tying and partner tying. A great way to create restriction with a safety exit\, or move towards self suspension. \nRope Structures\nTake your fundamentals and start building stronger\, more supportive structures. We explore specific harness types\, styles\, body positions\, and different tying styles from across rope traditions.

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:Rope Lab: Movement & Expression - face\, head\, hair
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: face\, head\, hair – how to tie these both for the experience and for practical reasons of restriction and support. This class is suitable for all knowledge levels\, as long as you got your basics down. It is possible to self-tie in this class. Bring twine! \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:Rope Fundamentals: First Frictions
DESCRIPTION:This class introduces the key friction techniques that make your ties hold\, lock\, and flow. You’ll learn the difference between a counter tension and half hitch\, how to secure with a Munter hitch\, and what a hojo cuff is and why it’s so useful. These building blocks are essential for progressing into more complex harnesses and suspension-ready rope. Bring your nerd brain — we’re getting technical! \nRope Fundamentals\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: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\nPart I: June 8th\, 2026\nPart II: June 15th\, 2026\n(ticket is for the ENTIRE SERIES)\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:Rope in the Air: Side Suspension
DESCRIPTION:Explore your first full suspensions — side-on! We will use your choice of upper body harness with a basket tie to practice partial and full side suspensions. We will play with body angles and load distribution to understand our harnesses and partners better. The suspensions are done starting from the ground. We’re exploring low suspensions to create more safety and opportunities for connection. \nRope in the Air\nYou’ve got your groundwork sorted. Now we take things up — literally. Learn suspension techniques from easy to challenging in these classes offering content from beginner suspensions to pushing limits.

SUMMARY:Rope Hangout: Hot
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: Hot\nHow do you tie when it’s too hot? How do you make your tying hot? What can you use for temperature play in combination with rope? Calling out for all unhinged\, stupid\, weird\, spicy\, and sticky ideas. Maybe we ed up making a sweaty pile of tied up bodies out in the garden! \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.

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: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: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: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:Rope Structures: Frictions for Harnesses
DESCRIPTION:Time to level up your friction game! Learn to use and understand essential harness frictions like the X\, L\, and half-moon. Practice these on Ceci’s arms-front chest harness\, which you will get a first introduction to in this workshop. This is a great way to make your ties safer\, more durable\, and easier to adjust. As bonus content\, you’ll learn how to tie hair! \nRope Structures\nTake your fundamentals and start building stronger\, more supportive structures. We explore specific harness types\, styles\, body positions\, and different tying styles from across rope traditions.
