SUMMARY:Releasing Grief and Sadness
DESCRIPTION:Sadness and grief touch so much of our present-day journey. \nThey are multi-layered and challenging to navigate\, but do they have a purpose? How can we personally\, collectively\, and metaphorically allow ourselves to sit with the complexity of sadness? And cherish\, honour\, and release our grief? Let’s give ourselves the gift(s) of transformation and inspiration. \nFor this ritual & workshop\, we will explore our grief place(s)\, where we find them\, why they are important and how we can remind ourselves to embrace them when we are challenged. The idea is not to have all the answers\, but more to give ourselves space to sit\, take time and share in a supportive held container. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  October 27th\, 2022\, 7 pm- 9.30 pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: workshop (virtual) \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nKnowledge level: none \nWhat to bring: Pens\, paper\, paints\, sketchbook\, images\, stories\, tissues\, objects\, and ideas to share \nClass recording: Yes. The recording will be available after the live class for 14 days. \nWhat we will do \nCaritia’s proposal is to give space\, offer to witness/be witnessed\, and create rituals around grief\, sadness\, loss\, release\, and frustration. Exploring methods and actual practices/things which turn up the sadness in our lives – both individually and with others. Opening to the dark and the light. Mindfulness\, as well as a respectful tone\, is a must.\n• Guided meditation \n• Defining the nuances \n• Mess as a form of release \n• Communication Tool Kit – Finding Language around/ for sadness \n• Holding space alone or together – ways to connect \n• Who is your sadness for? \n• Feedback & close \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. If that is still too much or they are out of stock\, feel free to send us a message via info@karada-house.de

SUMMARY:Kink and Trauma
DESCRIPTION:Join Ev for a work investigating the intersections of trauma and kink. \nThe vast majority of us carry trauma with us. How can we better understand how trauma operates\, both in general and in ourselves? We will work to understand the answer to this question so that we can enter into our kinks better aware of our own trauma\, how to care for others with trauma\, and ultimately create healing-centered experiences. \nIn this 2-part-training\, we will start by learning about trauma–what is it\, how it operates\, and what symptoms look like. As we learn what trauma is in general\, we will start to explore what trauma symptoms look like in our own lives\, so ultimately\, we can be better aware of our needs\, limits\, and desires. Lastly\, we will explore the intersection of kink and trauma\, including how kink can be a conduit of healing. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  October 26th & November 2nd\, 2022\, 7-10 pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: workshop & discussion \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: – \nWhat to Bring: water\, anything you might need if you feel yourself getting activated or triggered \nSolo or Partnered: all constellations welcome \nClass recording: Yes. This class will be recorded (only the facilitator\, not the participants) and is available for ticket holders for 14 days after the event \n  \nWhat we will explore \nWe will learn about the “Window of Tolerance”\, and the difference between “trauma-informed” and “healing centered”. We will also brainstorm how to make both our play and the broader kink scene more healing centered. \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 FAT Lab & Jam
DESCRIPTION:Are you tired of feeling like your body doesn’t fit the narrow imagery of bondage? So are we. This is a rope jam for people who dress in sizes 44 and up. \nBecause we want a space that celebrates the fact that not only can all of us tie and be tied\, but we look gorgeous doing it. And because we want a space where we can help each other and share knowledge specifically about tying fat bodies. In an environment where we are not the exception but the norm. \nCeci Ferox is available during the jam to help and give ideas. They have experience and knowledge in tying fat and heavy bodies both from inside and outside the ropes. \nNote: There is no suspension possible\, the jam will be floor work based. \nIf you can buy clothes in normal clothes stores\, please make sure to give extra space for the experiences and voices of those with bigger bodies than yours. \nWho is welcome? \nPeople who dress in sizes 44 or larger because smaller sizes do not fit their body. Yes\, you can bring your smaller rope partner with you. No\, you can not come alone if you dress in sizes that are smaller than 44 or only dress in those sizes because you like “baggy” clothes. \nPlease contact us if you have any questions or needs about accessibility! \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  October 22th\, 2022\, 6 pm – 9 pm – Doors open between 5.45-6.15 pm\, only \nFormat: Lab and Jam \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ \nLanguage: English \nWhat to Bring:  \n  \nWhat we teach/offer \n– Collective start with an introduction round \n– Lab time where we ask specific questions on tying or being tied and troubleshoot together \n– Fun times practicing and playing \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:Deconstruct Your Kink
DESCRIPTION:How can we approach the big ominous terms in kink and intimacy? \nIn the vast field of kink\, sexuality\, and intimacy we encounter them on almost every step. Nothing seems to be able to hide from them; if we meet them\, they are often the reason for heated debates and absolutistic claims about their meaning. They are the big terms for relating to each other and many seem to be convinced that their meaning is obvious. But what is behind terms like pain\, shame\, sex\, identity\, and alike?\nIn this workshop\, Barkas and Addie present a hands-on discussion of what deconstruction means and what a productive deconstruction of several big terms of the rope and kink world could look like. There will be exercises but not necessarily with ropes. \n  \nThis event is a fundraiser event. All proceeds go to Karada House for building their new physical space in Berlin. You can choose how much you would like to pay for this event\, 10 Euros being the minimum amount. You can change the amount by simply typing into the field and changing it accordingly. Thank you for your support. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  October 16th\, 2022\, 7-10pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: discussion (virtual) \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: None \nWhat to Bring:  curiosity \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  \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:Critical Whiteness
DESCRIPTION:Karada House works mostly within the realm of kink\, BDSM\, gender\, and sexuality. This work can only be seen and understood as an intersectional endeavor encompassing many other aspects such as language\, wealth\, housing\, body size\, mental health\, neurodiversity\, ability\, education\, skin color\, relationship constellations\, and citizenship. This specific 2-part workshop series is not specifically about whiteness within the context of kink\, gender\, and sexuality. In our opinion it is\, however\, a vital first step for white people in general and white kinksters\, whether or not they consider themselves queer\, to understand how racism comes into play in every aspect of this society – kink lives\, relationships\, and spaces included. \nAlthough European and Northern American societies are promoted as inclusive\, it is obvious that this is not the case. It’s still very much cis-white\, Christian\, capitalist\, ableist\, and patriarchal as they were. Due to the dominance of white\, Europe-centric\, patriarchal\, ableist standards\, people in Europe and Northern America are categorized and understood as normal bodies and irregular bodies. These supposedly irregular bodies are oppressed by the European and Northern American systems in various forms of power at the micro and macro levels and are discriminated against at the individual and institutional levels. This form of systemic oppression and indoctrinated false reality has roots in European colonialism\, Nazism\, and imperialism. \n  \nPart 1: The Genesis of Racism (October 6th\, 2022: 7-10 pm) \nThe first part of this workshop series will enable the participants to factually understand the genesis of racism by exploring historical and current facts\, situations\, and occurrences that paved way for colonialism\, racial hierarchy\, genocides\, neocolonialism\, and modern-day racism. \n  \nPart 2: White Privilege Reflection (October 13th\, 2022: 7-10 pm) \nThe workshop enables an open space for white and white-passing folks to gather and share their ideas and understanding of being an Ally\, discuss their mistakes\, share their practices\,\nknowledge and reflect on their privilege. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  October 6th & 13th\, 2022\, 7-10 pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: workshop & discussion \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: – \nWhat to Bring: – \nSolo or Partnered: all constellations welcome \nClass recording: Yes. This class will be recorded (only the facilitator\, not the participants) and is available for ticket holders for 14 days after the event \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. If that is still too much or they are out of stock\, feel free to send us a message via info@karada-house.de

SUMMARY:Ranboo Style Part III: Floor & Air
DESCRIPTION:Ranboo\, literally translated means stormy\, overwhelming\, wild. \nAbout 10 years ago\, Barkas developed Ranboo as a way of rejecting a static and often seemingly boring practice of rope bondage. A wild dance while tying with each other is the result.\nRanboo is characterized by a large amplitude of variation of distance\, speed\, and intensity\, paired with an element of surprise. It is not a set of patterns or a “visual goal” but a way of interacting\nwith your partner(s) through rope\, a specific interview type\, if you want. \nIn this 3-parts workshop series\, Barkas and Addie will accompany the participants through the principles\, applications\, and variations of Ranboo\, while keeping a strong focus on safety. \nDisclaimer: The highly dynamic nature of ranboo comes with the potential of greater risk for injuries. We strongly recommend participants watch the series in order and only \npractice exercises from the latter parts if they are proficient in basic techniques. \n  \nPart III Floor & Air (October 5th\, 2022\, 7-10 pm CET) \nRanboo on the floor is challenging due to various aspects. In this part\, we use these challenges to further familiarize participants with the concepts developed in the previous parts but on the floor. Some challenges of ranboo that appear on the floor are similar when we go into suspensions. Other challenges are added. We go through a suspension and see how ranboo affects the way we can tie in the air. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  October 5th\, 20212 7-10pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: workshop & discussion (virtual) \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English\, translation into German can be provided \nMinimum Knowledge Level: Active participants\, i.e. those who would like to tie along or try the exercises immediately\, should be able to tie a single/double column tie and have some knowledge about different frictions\, as well as suspension experiences for that corresponding part. None of that is a threshold for participation in general and participants of all levels are welcome.\nWe strongly recommend not to tie along when you are not proficient in the underlying rope techniques. \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 in Part III \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:Be Yourself or Someone Else: An Introduction to Erotic Roleplaying
DESCRIPTION:Have you always wanted to explore being a variety of characters\, both those you don from the outside world and those that you have deep inside you? \nThis is your chance to explore the tips\, tricks\, and tools to bring them to life and make them your own! So you’ve decided that it could be fun to do some roleplaying\, but aren’t sure where to go with it? Let’s develop some skills together! \nUsing classical evocation skills we will work to pull upon our sensuality\, anger\, sadness\, and other feelings on command. Evocation is also an amazing tool for pulling out our own inner Daddy\, pony\, goddess\, or slave. We will then turn to the idea of invocation to tap into personal\, cultural\, and universal archetypes as well as other concepts that we are drawn to. Just because it’s not inside you\, doesn’t mean you can’t learn through some simple exercises and brainstorming to learn how to “draw it down.” Bring your roleplaying fantasies and curiosities for this fun discussion and exercise-driven workshop. \nWe will: \n– Discuss the variety of roles we can take on and find ones that might appeal to you \n– Look at the difference between role-playing and role-being \n– Build tools for evoking emotions and characters \n– Explore ways to get into\, explore\, and stop roleplaying \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  September 30th\, 2022\, 8-10 pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: hands-on workshop \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: – \nWhat to Bring: An open mind\, curiosity\, and a desire to explore the topic. \nSolo or Partnered: all constellations welcome \nClass recording: Yes. This class will be recorded (only the facilitator\, not the participants) and is available for ticket holders for 14 days after the event \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:Rope for Sex
DESCRIPTION:Less tying\, more play! Sometimes rope isn’t the main dish\, it’s the appetizer. \nThis class offers a playful approach to rope for sex and ‘sexy’ rope. We will be curious about what desire and sexuality look and feel like for each of us. In this session\, we will explore simple and effective ties for exposure\, eroticism\, and stimulation. We will also play with incorporating toys into our rope play\, how to tie someone on or to a bed\, and ties for when you maybe only have one rope. At the same time\, we will focus on what desire and sexual energy mean for each of us\, and how we incorporate that into our rope play.\nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  September 24th\, 2022\, 7 pm- 10 pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: workshop \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ \nLanguage: English \nKnowledge level: Knowing a single column tie and some rope basics is useful \nWhat to bring:  2-3 lengths of rope – any sex toys/vibrators you would like to explore incorporating into rope – blindfolds etc. \nSolo or Partnered:  Partnered – though any partnership is welcome as the notion of ‘sexy’ rope does not have to involve any nudity/penetration. Feel welcome to come with a friend or platonic partner. Regardless of partnership – all are invited to explore in ways that feel good for you\, everything shown is a suggestion\, and no one is obliged to try or participate in anything which doesn’t feel right. Ticket is per PAIR. \n  \nWhat we will teach/offer you \n• What is sex? What is sexy rope?\n• Simple ties for exposure\n• Tying someone on/to a bed\n• DIY rope and sex toys – spreader bars/ vibrators into rope\n• Crotch ropes galore\n• Rope for sex when you have no rope \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\, queer\, intersex\, asexual\, aromantic\, agender.

SUMMARY:Ranboo Style Series
DESCRIPTION:Ranboo\, literally translated means stormy\, overwhelming\, wild. \nAbout 10 years ago\, Barkas developed Ranboo as a way of rejecting a static and often seemingly boring practice of rope bondage. A wild dance while tying with each other is the result.\nRanboo is characterized by a large amplitude of variation of distance\, speed\, and intensity\, paired with an element of surprise. It is not a set of patterns or a “visual goal” but a way of interacting\nwith your partner(s) through rope\, a specific interview type\, if you want. \nIn this 3-parts workshop series\, Barkas and Addie will accompany the participants through the principles\, applications\, and variations of Ranboo\, while keeping a strong focus on safety. \nDisclaimer: The highly dynamic nature of ranboo comes with the potential of greater risk for injuries. We strongly recommend participants watch the series in order and only \npractice exercises from the latter parts if they are proficient in the basic techniques. \n  \nPart I Introduction (September 21st\, 2022\, 7-10 pm CET) \nIn the introduction\, we will get to know the key terms of ranboo and get familiar with movement and techniques to safely tie in this style. \n  \nPart II Next Level (September 28th\, 2022\, 7-10 pm CET) \nWe increase the pace and variation of distance and apply the principles learned in Part I to some standard patterns. \n  \nPart III Floor & Air (October 5th\, 2022\, 7-10 pm CET) \nRanboo on the floor is challenging due to various aspects. In this part\, we use these challenges to further familiarize participants with the concepts developed in the previous parts but on the floor. Some challenges of ranboo that appear on the floor are similar when we go into suspensions. Other challenges are added. We go through a suspension and see how ranboo affects the way we can tie in the air. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  September 21st\, 28th & October 5th\, 2022\, 7-10pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: workshop & discussion (virtual) \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English\, translation into German can be provided \nMinimum Knowledge Level: Active participants\, i.e. those who would like to tie along or try the exercises immediately\, should be able to tie a single/double column tie and have some knowledge about different frictions\, as well as suspension experiences for that corresponding part. None of that is a threshold for participation in general and participants of all levels are welcome.\nWe strongly recommend not to tie along when you are not proficient in the underlying rope techniques. \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 in Part III \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  \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:CBT Below the Belt
DESCRIPTION:As extreme as it may sound\, the spectrum for sensation with tying the penis and testicles is very diverse. I like to call it cock and ball bondage (CBB) vs. cock and ball torture (CBT)\nbecause it doesn’t have to be about pain (unless that’s what you’re into!). We will explore this type of tying with playfulness\, creativity\, and a focus on consent! From light sensation play to more intense ties and predicaments – We will explore a variety of pleasures (and consensual pain) that cock bondage and CBT can provide for us and our\npartners\, or clients! \nThere will be a mix of demonstrations\, plenty of time for trying things out\, and questions/sharing. \nAssistant for this class: René de Sans \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  September 17th\, 2022\, 7 pm- 10 pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: workshop \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nKnowledge level: This class is open to all levels though it will help if you have a bit of experience with\nrope or have attended an introductory session. \nWhat to bring:   \nConsider everything you use in the workshop will potentially be in contact with your partner’s genitals so be mindful of the type of rope you would like to use or bring. \n– 2 or more lengths of rope (cotton/jute/synthetic is fine)\n– A thinner rope (4mm or twine)\n– Stockings/stretchy material\nYou can bring any toys or materials you would like to explore or incorporate into your play – this could be pegs/twine/chopsticks/shoelaces/underwear etc. We can really be creative\nwith what we tie with. \nSolo or Partnered:  This workshop is open to all constellations – in this intimate environment\, everyone will be respected and deserves to feel safe to participate.

SUMMARY:Semi-Suspension Sequences
DESCRIPTION:Semi-suspension has a lot of advantages. You can connect more because most or some body weight is on the floor. You can create different sensations with rope without it being too overwhelming. Being close to the floor offers extra security because the way down is short and fast. Suspension lines can be used as support and an extra dimension in floor-based tying. And so much more! \nThis class explores some sequences for semi-suspension to help you get inspired. The class contains practical info on what to pay attention to with semi-suspension regarding physics\, safety\, set-up and planning. We will cover different types of semi-suspension play and show practical exercises. The workshop is based on lecture content and demonstrations. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time: September 14th\, 2022\, 7 -9 pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat:  lecture and demonstrations \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: – Anyone can follow the class\, but for being able to recreate the ties you will need a solid understanding of rope fundamentals (ability to tie harnesses fluently and to communicate with your rope partner) and suspension basics (suspension line locking\, understanding of risks). \nWhat to bring: pen\, paper\, or some alternative way to make notes\n \nClass recording: Yes – Participants will not be recorded. This recording will be available for 14 days after the workshop \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. If that is still too much or they are out of stock\, feel free to send us a message via info@karada-house.de
