SUMMARY:Yes\, please / No Thanks – Giving Consent\, Holding Boundaries\, Negotiating Well
DESCRIPTION:Time to upgrade some of the most important kink and life skills! \nThe general idea of consent and boundaries is often portrayed to be as simple as offering someone a cup of tea. However\, in reality\, it is much more nuanced and complicated\, especially when considering our intersectionalities\, different contexts\, and power structures. And then what? Holding boundaries also sounds rather easy but how do you know what your boundaries are and how can you hold them with grace and without making them into walls that cut you off? And how do you negotiate your play and other events when life is messy and emotions are involved? \nCaritia will guide and support participants in solo\, paired\, and group exercises to get to grips with what consent\, boundaries\, and negotiation means to you\, how it can be understood\, and applied in everyday situations\, and the mindsets that can open you up to more playful interactions with others. Let’s dive in\, get messy and acknowledge the dimensions. \nThe workshop aims to get to know yourself and your boundaries more deeply. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  January 28th & 29th\, 2023\, 10.30 am- 6 pm (1 hour lunch break in between) \nFormat: Workshop \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & Friends \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: N/a \nWhat to Bring: paper\, pen\, questions\, and stories \nSolo or Partnered:  both work (everybody needs to buy a ticket) \nTicket: price is person \n  \nWhat we will teach: \n-Layers of consent\, \n-nuances of play\, \n-communication tools\, \n-intersectionality\, \n-relating to others \n  \nMandatory Covid-19 rules \nAll visitors and participants must wear an FFP2 mask at all times. \nIf you would like to inform yourself about other safety measures we have in place\, please consult our Covid-19 measurements here. \n  \n  \nWho is this event for? \nLGBTQIA+ 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. \nFriends describes 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 safe(r) space and its marginalized community. \nWhen 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.

SUMMARY:Primal Play: Hunter\, Hunted\, Predator\, and Prey
DESCRIPTION:Each of us holds an animal inside us\, and that creature is primal\, wild\, and tapped into the ancient power that says hunt\, or be hunted\, run\, or be captured. What kind of creature are you\, and how can you tap into that energy? \nIn this class\, we will explore diverse forms of primal play\, from growling and throating your lover in the bedroom to constructed experiences stalking someone through woods and dark alleyways… and more. What kind of feral beast are you\, and why? Whether you are partnered with someone primal\, are primal yourself as an identity\, enjoy the play\, or are simply curious\, we will work on skills for negotiation\, “reading” our partners when verbal tools are off the table\, and communication skills in general.

SUMMARY:Barkas’ City of Kinbaku Series
DESCRIPTION:“il n’y a pas de hors-texte” – there is no outside of text. \nBarkas’ approach to Kinbaku or bondage is one that is rooted outside of rope\, outside of kink\, and even outside of sexuality. It looks for its ideas in architecture\, museums\, amusement parks\, orchestra rehearsals\, and public transportation. \nIn this workshop series exclusive to Karada house\, Barkas will take the participants on a journey through Barkas’ metaphorical city of Kinbaku. We will explore the evolution and current presentation of concepts\, old and new\, that will enhance participants’ rope play. This workshop follows concepts rather than specific patterns\, so participants should expect to come away with thoughts\, inspiration\, and avenues of exploration\, rather than step-by-step progressions. \n  \nPart I: Prologue \nJanuary 25th\, 2023\, 7-10 pm CET (Berlin time) \nWhere is Barkas Kinbaku coming from and what do the various influences mean? A lesson in establishing contexts. Exercises in seeing\, in listening\, and reading. \n  \nPart II: Barkas Cit of Kinbaku \nFebruary 1st\, 2023\, 7-10 pm CET (Berlin time) \nAll the different ways in which Barkas’ Kinbaku can be approached. Exercises in doing. \n  \nPart III: Outlook \nFebruary 8th\, 2023\, 7-10 pm CET (Berlin time) \nThrough exercises\, we will see where Barkas Kinbaku could go and establish a possible trajectory. Exercises in expectations \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  January 25th\, February 1st & 8th 2023\, 7 pm-10 pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: workshop (virtual) \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: Single column tie. Basic frictions. \nWhat to Bring:  if you want to tie along you need ropes\, safety gear\, space\, a partner \nSolo or Partnered:  both (each participant needs a ticket) \nClass recording: Yes. The recording will be made available after the live class for 14 days \n  \nWhat else to know \nAfter your successful ticket purchase\, you will be sent an email with the Zoom login data for this event. \nIf you cannot afford this event\, please check the ticket option “solidarity” for reduced ticket prices.

SUMMARY:Consensual Non-Consent 101
DESCRIPTION:Consensual non-consent is a form of play that is based on a mutual agreement between play partners to act as if consent has been waived. This form of play is a complex web of thoughts\, ideas\, and desires which requires a delicate balance of boundaries and communicated needs to navigate what can be deliciously troubled waters. \nJoin Caritia for this open discussion on the topic\, covering the basics and answering your questions in this co-created space. \nFor starters\, we will dive into questions such as: What is CNC? Why would anyone wish to engage in this form of play? And how many different ways can it turn out? Where are the boundaries between consent and the desire to play with taboos? Feel free to bring your own ideas and questions to the (virtual) table \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  January 19th\, 2023\, 7 pm – 9.30 pm \nFormat: discussion \nMinimum Knowledge Level: – \nWhat to Bring: ideas\, questions\, partners\, ways to keep notes \nSolo or Partnered: any constellation works.

SUMMARY:Trauma-informed Negotiation
DESCRIPTION:Let’s make space to acknowledge the reality that most (if not all) of us may carry some histories and experiences of trauma in our bodies. When we play with the vulnerability and intimacy of kink and BDSM\, we could come into contact with these realities. How do we take better care of ourselves and one another if this is the case? \nThis class will support you to enhance your negotiation skills beyond the basics of what you do and don’t want to do during play. How do you communicate and ask transparently about trauma? How could this show up and what to do if someone becomes triggered? What does safety and care look and feel like for you in a kink context? Let’s take an in-depth exploration into how we can develop our negotiation practice to be more trauma-informed. \nThis class is suited for people throughout the kink spectrum\, from top to bottom\, Doms and subs\, riggers and people who like to be tied\, and switches alike – we will look from the perspective of both ‘sides’ of the equation\, what needs to be known\, how to support one another\, and how to create negotiation styles which work for you. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  January 5th\, 2023\, 7 pm- 9 pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: workshop \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nKnowledge level:  n/a \nWhat to bring:  A journal. Any questions you have \nSolo or Partnered:  All constellations. The ticket price is per person. \nClass recording: Yes. The session will be recorded and available for 14 days after the workshop. The participants will not be recorded. \n  \nWhat else to know \nAfter your successful ticket purchase\, you will be sent an email with the Zoom login data for this event. \nIf you cannot afford this event\, please check the ticket option “solidarity” for reduced ticket prices.

SUMMARY:Tech Dump Part III: Side Suspension
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe details and mechanics of technical suspension are Addie’s specialty and passion. Over the past 6 years\, she has amassed a wide\, varied repertoire of suspension experience\, with a heavy emphasis on tying different people with different preferences\, and adapting ties to people rather than the other way around. Pre-pandemic\, she taught TheSpace’s Techie Tuesdays\, a weekly series that focused on how and why ties work the way they do\, helping participants to build a working\, functional knowledge of tying for suspension. \nThis progressive series will be heavy on understanding rather than memorization\, on technical details (why something works in situation A but not B\, how it can be adapted for B) and on personalization. We will examine everything from hitches to hip rotations\, with the goal of achieving smooth rope and body handling\, predicting and preventing trouble spots\, and staying one step ahead of necessity. \nThe goal is not to arrive at a particular visual end result\, but to use all our skills and knowledge to create ties and situations that make the person in ropes happy\, however their ‘happy’ manifests. \n  \nTech Dump Part III: Full Suspension – Side Suspension (December 28th\, 7-10pm CET) \nThe ‘Full Suspension’ Tech Dumps will each focus on a particular tie/pose/suspension\, with different options based on each participant’s level of experience. For those newer to suspension\, each can be performed as a partial or full static suspension\, coming back out of the suspension by reversing the steps taken to get there. For those with more experience\, there will be options for additions or transitions\, before coming out either by reversing steps or continuing through to a different endpoint. The focus here is on sustainability\, balance\, and adaptation to suit and support the person in rope. Each piece of the tie must be well placed so that no one point is taking an undue amount of strain\, and the person tying must choose when to start moving out of the tie such that the person in ropes is in long enough\, but not too long. This creates sustainable suspensions and lets the tied person trust the tie and focus on the experience. We will look at balance points\, planning ahead\, and gauging when to come out so as to maximize the effectiveness of the tie. We will also discuss work-arounds for more common body quirks\, and self-checks and body knowledge for the people being tied. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  December 28th\, 2022\, 7pm-10pm CET \nFormat: workshop (virtual) \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: single column tie\, double column tie & it is highly recommended that participants take the TK-ish Tech Dump before the Suspension Tech Dump(s) to ensure that we are all working from the same starting point. \nThere is no previous suspension experience required to participate\, and each suspension will be shown with levels of difficulty to offer information\, challenge\, and accomplishment for participants with any level of previous experience. Throughout\, there will tips\, tricks\, and suggestions for those who are tied. There will also be time for tying practice\, and many (though not all) elements can be modified for those who like to self-tie. \nFor those tying: No previous suspension knowledge necessary\, especially for the early sessions. Those who are new to TK-ish structures are also welcome to participate\, but should take the TK session first\, and be willing to stick to the more basic versions/variations of ties. For the suspension classes\, a good goal for tying participants is to be able to tie a suspension-worthy upper body tie smoothly\, a non-collapsing single column tie on the first try\, and to open\, move\, and re-lock a suspension line without fumbling or cussing. \nFor those being tied: I recommend having some previous experience in rope so that those being tied have a frame of reference and can make more informed decisions. This does not have to include suspension experience. Likewise\, there are no pre-requisites for flexibility\, fitness\, lack of injuries\, etc; one of the goals of the series is to tie for the differences in how individuals work\, to use that individuality to best advantage. In Addie’s experience\, the pairs who have the most success in workshops are generally those who can laugh together and who approach challenges as a team. \nIf you have any questions about those guidelines\, please contact Addie (addietahl@gmail.com). \nWhat to Bring: ropes (the techniques covered work well for natural fiber rope\, and synthetic will behave differently. This series is not suited to tying with synthetic rope)\, a partner\, suspension point if you want to tie along \nSolo or Partnered:  both (each participant needs a ticket) \nClass recording: Yes. The recording will be made available after the live class for 14 days. \n  \nWhat else to know \nAfter your successful ticket purchase\, you will be sent an email with the Zoom login data for this event. \nIf you cannot afford this event\, please check the ticket option “solidarity” for reduced ticket prices.

SUMMARY:Tech Dump Part II: Uplines\, Partial Suspensions
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe details and mechanics of technical suspension are Addie’s specialty and passion.

This does not mean that the suspension is less strenuous or less risky\, though it does generally mean that the person in rope is close enough to the ground to be brought out relatively quickly. This session focuses on safety\, planning\, body mechanics\, and uplines. We will look at the pros and cons to different upline options\, speed/access/reliability\, and quick/smooth handling of both the rope and of the person in rope. We will examine balancing the body in the air vs the contact to the floor\, and signs that we have found the ‘right’ height. We also look at bringing people out of suspension smoothly and quickly\, communication and risk evaluation between tying partners\, and self-monitoring for those being tied. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  December 21st\,  2022\, 7pm-10pm CET \nFormat: workshop (virtual) \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: single column tie\, double column tie & it is highly recommended that participants take the TK-ish Tech Dump before the Suspension Tech Dump(s) to ensure that we are all working from the same starting point. \nThere is no previous suspension experience required to participate\, and each suspension will be shown with levels of difficulty to offer information\, challenge\, and accomplishment for participants with any level of previous experience.

Likewise\, there are no pre-requisites for flexibility\, fitness\, lack of injuries\, etc; one of the goals of the series is to tie for the differences in how individuals work\, to use that individuality to best advantage. In Addie’s experience\, the pairs who have the most success in workshops are generally those who can laugh together and who approach challenges as a team. \nIf you have any questions about those guidelines\, please contact Addie (addietahl@gmail.com). \nWhat to Bring: ropes (the techniques covered work well for natural fiber rope\, and synthetic will behave differently. This series is not suited to tying with synthetic rope)\, a partner\, suspension point if you want to tie along \nSolo or Partnered:  both (each participant needs a ticket) \nClass recording: Yes. The recording will be made available after the live class for 14 days. \n  \nWhat else to know \nAfter your successful ticket purchase\, you will be sent an email with the Zoom login data for this event. \nIf you cannot afford this event\, please check the ticket option “solidarity” for reduced ticket prices.

SUMMARY:The Smallest Things – Tying with Intention
DESCRIPTION:The smallest things can have the most significant emotional impacts. In this introductory workshop & demo\, Mamana and René de Sans will dive into the topic of spacial relations\, touch\, directionality\, and movement in the most simple and seemingly diminutive ways that will make quite a difference to you and your partner in ropes. Away we steer from the grand gestures of the person tying and the dramatic melting away of the person in ropes that one sees and therefore often unconsciously replicates when tying. Instead\, we go small and intentional looking at the tiniest things we can do when relating to one another and how being careful and intentional will change the way you relate in ropes. \nThe ideas of this class are heavily influenced and draw from the teachings of Barkas\, Addie Tahl\, Akechi Kanna & Akechi Kagura. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  December 16th\, 2022\, 7-10.00 pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: workshop & demo \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: rope basics (single column tie\, rope handling\, tension and counter tension). \nWhat to Bring: comfortable clothes with nice textures\, ropes \nSolo or Partnered:  paired. \nTicket: Price is per PAIR \n  \nWhat we teach/offer: \n– relating to one another in space \n– directionality and meanings of touch \n– body movement (involuntary and voluntary) \n– intention and attention to yourself and your partner \n  \nSafety Concept & Regulation \nPlease consult our safety concept and regulations for this event here. \n  \nWho is this event for? \nLGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity\, meaning: lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, pansexual\, transgender\, non-binary\, genderqueer/fluid\, \nFriends describes 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 safe(r) space and its marginalized community. \nWhen 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.

SUMMARY:Tech Dump Series with Addie
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe details and mechanics of technical suspension are Addie’s specialty and passion. Over the past 6 years\, she has amassed a wide\, varied repertoire of suspension experience\, with a heavy emphasis on tying different people with different preferences and adapting ties to people rather than the other way around. Pre-pandemic\, she taught TheSpace’s Techie Tuesdays\, a weekly series that focused on how and why ties work the way they do\, helping participants to build a working\, functional knowledge of tying for suspension. \nThis progressive series will be heavy on understanding rather than memorization\, on technical details (why something works in situation A but not B\, how it can be adapted for B)\, and on personalization. We will examine everything from hitches to hip rotations\, with the goal of achieving smooth rope and body handling\, predicting and preventing trouble spots\, and staying one step ahead of necessity. \nThe goal is not to arrive at a particular visual end result\, but to use all our skills and knowledge to create ties and situations that make the person in ropes happy\, however their ‘happy’ manifests. \n  \nTech Dump Part I: TK-ish ties (December 14th\, 7-10 pm CET) \nThis session can be taken as a stand-alone or as part of the larger series. It covers the version of the TK that Addie uses\, tied both front and back\, with examples tied for different body types\, shoulder configurations\, injuries\, and preferences. We will look at the foundational elements of TK-ish ties\, what each part contributes to the tie\, and what can be modified without compromising the safety and integrity of the structure. \n  \nTech Dump Part II: Uplines\, Partial Suspensions (December 21st\, 7-10 pm CET) \nIn partial suspensions\, some part of the body is always touching the ground. This does not mean that the suspension is less strenuous or less risky\, though it does generally mean that the person in rope is close enough to the ground to be brought out relatively quickly. This session focuses on safety\, planning\, body mechanics\, and uplines. We will look at the pros and cons to different upline options\, speed/access/reliability\, and quick/smooth handling of both the rope and of the person in rope. We will examine balancing the body in the air vs the contact to the floor\, and signs that we have found the ‘right’ height. We also look at bringing people out of suspension smoothly and quickly\, communication and risk evaluation between tying partners\, and self-monitoring for those being tied. \n  \nTech Dump Part III: Full Suspension – Side Suspension (December 28th\, 7-10 pm CET) \nThe ‘Full Suspension’ Tech Dumps will each focus on a particular tie/pose/suspension\, with different options based on each participant’s level of experience. For those newer to suspension\, each can be performed as a partial or full static suspension\, coming back out of the suspension by reversing the steps taken to get there. For those with more experience\, there will be options for additions or transitions\, before coming out either by reversing steps or continuing through to a different endpoint. The focus here is on sustainability\, balance\, and adaptation to suit and support the person in rope. Each piece of the tie must be well placed so that no one point is taking an undue amount of strain\, and the person tying must choose when to start moving out of the tie such that the person in ropes is in long enough\, but not too long. This creates sustainable suspensions and lets the tied person trust the tie and focus on the experience. We will look at balance points\, planning ahead\, and gauging when to come out so as to maximize the effectiveness of the tie. We will also discuss work-arounds for more common body quirks\, and self-checks and body knowledge for the people being tied. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  December 14\, 21\, 28\, 2022\, 7pm-10pm CET \nFormat: workshop (virtual) \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: single column tie\, double column tie & it is highly recommended that participants take the TK-ish Tech Dump before the Suspension Tech Dump(s) to ensure that we are all working from the same starting point. \nThere is no previous suspension experience required to participate\, and each suspension will be shown with levels of difficulty to offer information\, challenge\, and accomplishment for participants with any level of previous experience. Throughout\, there will tips\, tricks\, and suggestions for those who are tied. There will also be time for tying practice\, and many (though not all) elements can be modified for those who like to self-tie. \nFor those tying: No previous suspension knowledge necessary\, especially for the early sessions. Those who are new to TK-ish structures are also welcome to participate\, but should take the TK session first\, and be willing to stick to the more basic versions/variations of ties. For the suspension classes\, a good goal for tying participants is to be able to tie a suspension-worthy upper body tie smoothly\, a non-collapsing single column tie on the first try\, and to open\, move\, and re-lock a suspension line without fumbling or cussing. \nFor those being tied: I recommend having some previous experience in rope so that those being tied have a frame of reference and can make more informed decisions. This does not have to include suspension experience. Likewise\, there are no pre-requisites for flexibility\, fitness\, lack of injuries\, etc; one of the goals of the series is to tie for the differences in how individuals work\, to use that individuality to best advantage. In Addie’s experience\, the pairs who have the most success in workshops are generally those who can laugh together and who approach challenges as a team. \nIf you have any questions about those guidelines\, please contact Addie (addietahl@gmail.com). \nWhat to Bring: ropes (the techniques covered work well for natural fiber rope\, and synthetic will behave differently. This series is not suited to tying with synthetic rope)\, a partner\, suspension point if you want to tie along \nSolo or Partnered:  both (each participant needs a ticket) \nClass recording: Yes. The recording will be made available after the live class for 14 days. \n  \nWhat else to know \nAfter your successful ticket purchase\, you will be sent an email with the Zoom login data for this event. \nIf you cannot afford this event\, please check the ticket option “solidarity” for reduced ticket prices.

SUMMARY:Meeting Yourself with Empathy
DESCRIPTION:Sometimes it is easier to offer empathy to others than ourselves– let’s work the muscle that is self-empathy and find ways to resource ourselves with more support\, acknowledgment\, and presence. In this session\, you will explore what a self-empathy practice can look like for you. \nWe will explore getting in touch with feelings and needs\, and explore where and how these may sit physically in our bodies. Being able to name and give qualities to our emotional experiences can support us to acknowledge our feelings and reactions make sense. We will find ways to distinguish between the part of us which is having the emotional experience\, and the part of us which is witnessing the part having the emotional experience\, and how this feels to do. There will be a demonstration of what a self-empathy practice can look like and time to practice in small groups. There will also be space for discussion\, sharing\, and reflection. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  December 13th\, 2022\, 7 pm- 9 pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: session \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nKnowledge level:  n/a \nWhat to bring:  A journal. Ropes – if you are interested in self-tying and would like to do so for the movement/touch section of the class. Any sensory items which would support you in grounding or self-care – a blanket you like\, something which smells good\, something with a texture you enjoy. \nSolo or Partnered:  All constellations. Ticket price is per person. \nClass recording: Yes. The session will be recorded and available for 14 days after the workshop.

SUMMARY:Rope Hangout
DESCRIPTION:  \nA rope hangout is an event where we learn from each other\, peer-to-peer\, get to know each other\, and do rope in a relaxed atmosphere\, regardless of experience level. You can hang out\, have coffee\, tea\, or soft drinks and chat with people if you don’t feel like tying. Being there is enough! \nThis rope hangout will be in a location with access to hanging points (no bamboo though\, rings only). \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & Friends \nTime: December 11th\, 2022\, 7-10pm \nCost: 5-15 Euros \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: all levels welcome \nWhat to Bring:  yourself\, optionally ropes  (we can also lend you ropes) \nSolo or Partnered:  both works\, this is peer-learning so partners are not necessary \n  \nSchedule: \n6.45 pm-7:05 pm: doors open (to ensure a safer space\, we ask you to be on time so everyone can see who is present at the starting circle)\n7:15 pm: starting circle\n7.30 pm – 10:00 pm: peer learning and social hangout\, space is chatty and there is no music \n  \nFormat: \nYour role as the participant is to share your knowledge and to get inspired by other people.

SUMMARY:Advanced Suspension Techniques Masterclass
DESCRIPTION:This weekend-long masterclass is for anyone who already has experience with suspension techniques\, and is looking for new challenges or inspiration to take their tying further within a safe(r) environment. \nGestalta will provide guidance as you explore with new techniques\, including adaptations and workarounds for different bodies/needs in suspension\, and feedback to help you improve your tying and build confidence in performing more complex suspensions and transitions. \nThis masterclass aims to empower both partners with a deeper understanding of shibari. Gestalta will give demonstrations and explanations\, and also provide ample time to experiment with the ties\, and understand how the body works/reacts in positions that can sometimes be quite challenging (e.g. back bends\, torsions\, inversions\, etc.). We will hold space to share and discuss techniques for sustaining harder positions\, and communicating when you’re in a difficult spot.\nGestalta will also discuss their personal philosophies on rope\, communication\, pacing a scene\, and how to find a balance that keeps complex things connective. \nTeaching will be adjusted according to the knowledge and needs of the participants. \n  \nThis masterclass can include techniques like: \n– agura\n– teppou\n– tengu\n– strappado\n– crab tie / m-shape\n– transitions on basket tie\n– mermaid tie \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  December 10th & 11th\, 2022\, 11am-6pm \nFormat: in-house workshop \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: you must have a solid understanding of suspension safe harnesses e.g. futomomo\, upper body harness (TK or similar)\, and experience with using suspension lines\, including locking/unlocking lines\, lifting/lowering\, and line management techniques.
