SUMMARY:Murasaki Haruan – Yukimura Ryu Masterclass
DESCRIPTION:This masterclass explores deeper layers of Yukimura-ryu through the practice of renbaku – a form of alternating rope work in which Murasaki and participating students take turns tying the same person. This format reveals the subtle shifts in emotional tone\, physical intention\, and energetic connection that emerge when different people engage with the same body\, the same rope\, and the same moment. \nRenbaku is not a performance\, but a shared process of learning through observation\, feeling\, and contrast. It invites deeper sensitivity to the changing relational dynamic between the person getting tied and the person tying and opens space for reflection – from all involved. People in ropes play an essential and active role in this learning format by attuning to and expressing the nuances they experience across multiple rope sessions. \nRather than introducing new forms or a catalogue of ties\, this weekend emphasizes continuing the basics at a deeper level. The workshop is not about “doing” more\, but about feeling more\, seeing more\, and refining presence\, responsiveness\, and intention. Renbaku is one of the most direct ways to study the emotional heart of Yukimura-ryu. \n\nFormat and Flow\nThe exact structure of the weekend will remain open\, allowing us to adapt to the group’s needs. Possibilities could include rotating renbaku sessions with multiple riggers\, focused study on transitions and emotional layering\, and group reflection after each practice. Students will be encouraged to tie actively\, people in rope should feel comfortable receiving rope from more than one person\, and observers are welcome to engage with the process through discussion and shared insight. \nThis masterclass is intended for those with prior experience in Yukimura-ryu or similar emotional rope styles. It is best suited to those wishing to deepen their sensitivity\, intuition\, and interpersonal expression through rope. \n  \nPrivate Lessons with Murasaki\nMurasaki Haruan will be with us in Berlin for two consecutive weekends. The first weekend (August 16–17\, 2025) will be a foundational Yukimura-ryu workshop. The second weekend (August 23-24\, 2025) will be a Masterclass including renbaku teachings. She will also host a renbaku salon (August 15) and offer private sessions at Karada House between the two weekends.

SUMMARY:Playfight & Rough Body Play Lab
DESCRIPTION:Use your body in a vastly different way. Restricted\, restrained\, maybe even tamed – our bodies are subdued to very strict rules and movements in our daily lives. Time to get primal and rough. Rough body play allows for more fighting\, emotions\, and a deeper exploration of power dynamics than play fights. \nOnce a month we open Karada House for 2 hours of randori (free fights) time to try your new skills and have fun. \nWhat is the difference between play fight and rough body play?\nPlay fights are literally that – play fighting for the fun of it. Rough body play is similar but allows and adds components of power dynamics\, kinky vibes\, etc. In this lab you get to choose how you want to engage. Just fun fights? Cool! A little more kink\, i.e. you wanting to lose to someone\, including face slaps \, etc.? Cool\, too. You get to propose how you want to fight and if someone else likes that and wants to join\, negotiations happen and then fight\, fight\, fight! \nWhat we will do\nOur amazing instructor Montse will guide through \n\nwarm-up exercises\nconsent & safety\ndos & don’ts\nafter that – fight!\naftercare and snacks

SUMMARY:Objectification with Rope Series
DESCRIPTION:Objectification has always been a widely popular fetish within the BDSM scene\, especially in connection with bondage.In this 3 part series hua hua will share her approach to objectification through the practice of Shibari\, making use of the versatility and ritual of rope to play with this fetish. Drawing from her experience as both an artist and dominatrix\, hua hua will guide you on how to mindfully\, creatively and effectively turn a willing bottom into a beautiful object of pleasure. We will explore how to celebrate the unique assets of the individual\, how to adjust your communication to dehumanize the bottom\, and understand how to play with different types of objects. \nPart 1: Introduction to Objectifying with Rope\nShibari is never just about restraining the person in ropes\, it can also be an act of presenting the person\, to feel seen and accepted as they are or even as a means to transcend their human form. As the top in the scene\, it is important to take care of your bottom; keeping them safe from injury\, ensure that the pleasure of objectification comes from both sides and to facilitate the space to allow them to let go of their walking talking self and fully commit to being an object. In the first part of the series we will explore how to take responsibility and care for your objects\, discuss why we desire to play with objectification and dissect the presence of objectification in the world of Shibari. The class will end with an improvised demonstration where hua hua will tie her model\, the students are then asked to share feedback on how objectification played a role in the session. \nPART 2: Sculpting\nIn the second class we will be exploring how the rope bottom can serve as an art piece for the top to sculpt\, shape and showcase. The aim for this part of the workshop is to expand our definition of aesthetics in Shibari as a way of exploring the beauty of the individual in your ropes. Drawing on the dynamic of artist and muse\, the class will focus on how to use rope to highlight/fetishise certain features\, what aesthetics give you both pleasure and how gaze can impact the model’s experience. Students are invited to tie along and present their pieces at the end of the class. \nPart 3: Furniture Play\nThe final class of the series will focus on how to play with dehumanisation and functionality. Human furniture has always been a popular fetish within BDSM especially in connection with bondage. However this fetish is often depicted with highly gendered (specifically feminine) shapes\, which can contribute to body dysmorphia and gender inequality. In this workshop we will explore how to transform them from human to furniture through a playful and collaborative dynamic. This part of the class will involve discussion of power play\, headspace\, ergonomics and how to communicate without breaking the model out of their role. After the demonstration\, students will make their own furniture and explore how to modify the demonstrated tie to make the most of their partner’s assets.

SUMMARY:Centering the Margins – Power\, Privilege & Presence
DESCRIPTION:Power is an energy that so many find elusive to grasp and even more challenging to hold on to with the intersections\, cultural differences and politics of our present time. So let’s dig deep and unearth the truth behind the lies we have been fed. Power and privilege are not about class or economic status we each hold\, these are colonial binds that can be loosened and released. Let’s find your power and empower others. \nCaritia invites participants on a journey of destruction and experimentation to embolden and uplift themselves and each other. Intentionally investigating the questions ‘who gives me power?’. And ‘what makes me powerful?’. Whilst acknowledging the forms of privilege we each hold and how to actively share and communicate about them\, to find the present and actual ways you wish to play or be in your everyday.\nCaritia will offer questions for reflection\, place participants in pairs or small groups to brainstorm (breakout rooms)\, share in the larger space and engage in body based exercises to ground these explorations into the body physically\, mentally and emotionally. \nWhat we will teach/do\n\nPower and Hierarchies – definitions\nBoundaries & Negotiation\nIntersectional layers\nCommunication\, strategies and language\nQuestions and feedback\nBody connections / attention practice

SUMMARY:Murasaki Haruan – Foundations of Yukimura Ryu
DESCRIPTION:This workshop offers a thorough introduction to the foundational principles of Yukimura-ryu\, with a particular focus on one-rope practices\, minimal rope expression\, and pose exploration. We will center our attention on the emotional and communicative aspects of Yukimura-ryu—what the style is and what it is not. Using simple techniques and minimal rope\, we aim to explore complex layers of intention\, presence\, and interaction. \nWhile the physical forms are modest in appearance\, the internal and relational depth is substantial. This workshop is best suited for those drawn to quiet intensity and nuanced emotional connection\, rather than for those seeking semenawa or performative rope styles. \nDay 1: Communicating with one rope\n– sharing ideas and thoughts about what Yukimura Ryu is and what it is not\n– concepts of Yukimura Ryu\n– communication with one rope \nDay 2: Applying the Basics\n– practicing the basics and adding more rope\n– applying our knowledge to typical poses found in this style\, i.e. one open leg\, kemono shibari etc. \nPrivate Lessons with Murasaki\nMurasaki Haruan will be with us in Berlin for two consecutive weekends. The first weekend (August 16–17\, 2025) will be a foundational Yukimura-ryu workshop. The second weekend (August 23-24\, 2025) will be a Masterclass including renbaku teachings. She will also host a renbaku salon (August 15) and offer private sessions at Karada House between the two weekends.

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. \nPrivate Lessons with Murasaki\nMurasaki Haruan will be with us in Berlin for two consecutive weekends. The first weekend (August 16–17\, 2025) will be a foundational Yukimura-ryu workshop. The second weekend (August 23-24\, 2025) will be a Masterclass including renbaku teachings.

SUMMARY:Role-Playing or Role-Being: Identity\, Exploration\, and Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:Roleplaying is a powerful opportunity for evoking emotions and characters from inside us or invoking personas for an evening of fun. For a variety of individuals on mental health adventures\, this amazing tool can be used for more than erotic naughtiness or delight or find themselves challenged by the journeys they take. \nIndividuals dancing with depression exploring roles that let them “fake it ‘til you make it.” People with dissociative identity disorder using an opportunity to have a personality “front” in an agreed upon space. Folks living with anxiety finding safety in pre-set roles where protection roles are at play. These are but a few places where role-playing… or role-being in certain cases… can be used. \nIn this class we will creatively brainstorm how individuals with an array of mental health challenges and differences can thrive using roles and personas in kink and roleplay contexts\, while also acknowledging that things can also go wrong in roleplay because of our past trauma\, triggers\, and non-disclosed mental health realities. Let’s build understanding\, help each other explore\, and have partners look at their role in these opportunities for play and beyond. \nWhat we will teach/do\n\nExplore the definitions of Role-Playing compared to Role-Being\nFind both minor and major differences between playing a role and sharing a part of ourselves in a roleplaying context\nDiscover ways to tap into these roles\, parts of self\, and identities\, as well as how to exit those head spaces\nShare tools for what to do if things go “sideways” and to reduce the likelihood of such concerns taking place\nConsider systems of aftercare and connection that can aid in grounding concerning role-playing and role-being scenes.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Rope Hangout: Bamboo
DESCRIPTION:A 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. All kinds of Japanese inspired rope bondage/shibari/kinbaku are welcome. \nYou can hang out\, have drinks and snacks and chat with people if you don’t feel like tying. Being there is enough! \nThis month’s special focus: Bamboo\nThe things you research\, share\, and explore at rope hangout don’t have to be on this topic\, it’s merely a source of inspiration that we offer if people are interested. Bring your own topics\, questions and ideas if you like. \n Note: This is not a rope jam. It’s a peer learning environment. \n\n

SUMMARY:Fuck this Shit – a Guided Dissociation with Ropes
DESCRIPTION:While a lot of thought and energy and practice and so on and so forth can be put into tying\, we are also all facing challenges in our everyday lives that are less and less bearable. Ropes can also be used to forget about all that shit out there\, all the fascism\, the economy\, the obliteration of human rights\, the climate\, and everything else that is bleak. It’s not a failure to just want to stop for just a moment. \nWhat happens at this guided dissociation?\nIn this guided dissociation\, we will be building a palace in our minds and with our ropes. We will meander through gardens and participate in lustful banquets\, we will fly over landscapes and meet with creatures who we might want to engage with or just watch from a distance. \nIn this journey\, narrated and guided by Barkas\, participants are invited to turn their brains off for a couple hours\, take a rope and either on themselves or with someone else\, just escape into a fantastic world.

SUMMARY:Embodied Consent – Beyond Yes & No
DESCRIPTION:Let’s take it from Maya Angelou. \nInformation around and about consent derive from a wide range of fields – medicine\, legal & social constructs\, as well as the context of a situation. How can we decipher what consent looks like for others as well as myself? \nCaritia invites participants to deep dive into the nuances of consent\, exploring somatic cues\, non-verbal communication\, and the cultivation of intuitive/subtle boundaries through hands-on movement and touch exercises. To unravel the fine points of the permissions each person is giving. \nCaritia will share from personal experiences and offer tools\, care and practical methods to encourage you to explore yourself and your needs with more intention. \nWhat we will teach/do\n\nModels of consent\nVerbal vs non-verbal forms of consent\nSetting intentions\n(Re)-Connecting to my permissions\nQuestions of communication\nWho is it for/Who is it with?

SUMMARY:Intentional Kink Space Facilitation
DESCRIPTION:How is it to hold space\, facilitate\, and create community withing a capitalistic system? What forms of resistance can we find while also being able to financially survive? Join Ceci in finding answers to these questions in Intentional Kink Space Facilitation\, a 3 hour online workshop and peer support meeting. \nCeci Ferox has a master’s degree in community education\, a field of study born from the needs of the unions and leftist civic society in Finland. Ceci’s research and work is based on the pedagogic philosophies of thinkers like Paolo Freire and bell hooks\, and their experience in empowering political grass roots movements. They have over 20 years of experience in leading volunteer and non-profit communities\, and 12 years of experience specifically in organizing and facilitating kink spaces. \nWhat happens in the workshop?\nCeci will guide you through self reflection and group conversations on kink facilitation\, and share their knowledge through lecture content. We will explore topics like: \n– What are my values and how do they show in my organizing\, space holding\, and facilitation?\n– What’s my mission\, what is the change I want to see in individuals and in the world?\n– Do I have a teaching philosophy and how do I view learning?\n– How do I guide group processes and understand what people need from me? What about power and hierarchies?\n– How do I navigate dynamics in the team of organizers or facilitators?\n– What are my ethics around space holding and my position of power?

SUMMARY:Naoko Masterclass: One Body One Gote – Adapting Gote Shibari to Different Bodies
DESCRIPTION:Gote Shibari is one of the most iconic and foundational ties in Japanese rope bondage. In group workshops\, especially for beginner and intermediate students\, it is often taught as a fixed form. This helps students focus on learning essential technical components. While this approach is valuable for building solid rope techniques\, it often leaves little space for exploring and understanding how to adapt the tie to different people. Personalising the Gote is a nuanced practice that requires experience\, observation and deeper insight\, which is difficult to explore in a typical group setting. \nNaoko believes that no two Gotes are never the same. Whether you are tying someone for the first time or the hundredth\, every tie should be responsive to the person in front of you – how they feel on that day\, their body\, their energy\, the conversation you are having in rope\, and the space you are sharing. The Gote\, in her view\, is not a “one-size-fits-all” form but an evolving\, living expression of connection. \nAdapting Gote Shibari\nIn this workshop\, Naoko will present Gote Shibari as a customisable form through a series of live demonstrations (up to three\, time permitting). For each demonstration\, she will tie with a different person who has a distinct physique\, flexibility and personal preferences. Before tying\, Naoko will begin with an open conversation with the person being tied to understand their preferences\, needs and context of the tie. She will then tie the Gote specifically for them\, adjusting elements as needed while talking through the reasons behind her decisions. In some cases\, she may tie more the once to show variations or different approaches. After each demonstration\, Naoko and the person being tied will share a debrief to reflect on their experience. \nThroughout the class\, Naoko will talk through her thought process\, sharing insights into how she balances techniques\, aesthetics and feelings. She will demonstrate using the technical form of Naka style of Gote as the foundation. \nTopics include\n– Adapting to different body types (height\, weight\, muscle\, fat\, bone structure)– Navigating flexibility\, past injuries and physical limitations– How tying different bodies have an impact on time\, pacing\, number of ropes and the overall energy in a session– Understanding what sensations or experiences the person enjoys in Gote Shibari– Aesthetic choices based on body proportions – how to tie in a way that honours and highlights the unique beauty of the person being tied– Finding harmony between safety\, structure and emotional connection \nNaoko’s approach\nThis class focuses on individuality. Instead of relying on formulas for specific body types\, Naoko encourages a holistic and responsive approach. She avoids placing people into fixed categories like “flexible” or “inflexible” and applying standard techniques based on those labels. Rather\, she invites students to consider the full context of the person they are tying\, including their body\, emotions\, preferences\, and the interaction at that moment. The goal is not to follow a set method\, but to develop awareness and sensitivity in order to create an experience that truly suits the individual. \n\n

SUMMARY:Playing with Exposure (on the floor)
DESCRIPTION:This floor-based class will introduce playful bondage techniques\, all centered around a shared objective: deliciously exposing the person in ropes. The session will leave room for creativity\, allowing each pair to explore ways of exposing the other to provoke responses. (What feels exposing or intimidating to one person may not be so for another…) \nThe class offers tools and ideas to support each participant in discovering their own interpretation of what exposure in rope can evoke in both partners—whether that’s embarrassment\, vulnerability\, shame\, or shared intimacy. \nIt will also be a space to explore the power dynamics that emerge through this type of bondage\, as well as the reactions and emotions it can generate. \nFor a long time\, the most visible images of shibari were of individuals with a female gender expression (whose bodies conformed to hetero-patriarchal beauty standards)\, tied by individuals with a male gender expression. In recent years\, more diverse representations have begun to gain visibility\, and the practice is slowly becoming less stereotypical. \nBänana and her partner strive to create a class environment where everyone—regardless of gender\, expression\, or the dynamics of their relationship—can feel safe\, seen\, and welcome. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  July 31st\, 2005\, 7 pm- 9 pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: workshop (virtual) \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: single column tie\, double column tie\, counter tension and X friction. \nWhat to Bring:  You can bring your ropes and safety equipment if you’d like to tie at the same time \nSolo or Partnered:  all constellations welcome (each participant needs a ticket) \nClass recording: Yes. The recording will be made available after the last live class for 14 days after the end of the entire series (so there is time!) \n  \nAccessibility Note \nThe workshop and discussion are held in spoken English with automated captions in English which are provided by Zoom. Communication within the class can be had via chat but also people can come on mic and speak. If you participate in this workshop and need more assistance\, i.e. someone reading out the chat\, etc\, please message us at info@karada-house.de beforehand. \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:It’s Not the TK’s Fault if it’s Boring or Unsafe
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Takate Kote\, short just TK\, and its variations is one of the most tied structured patterns in the rope world. No matter if hands in the front or in the back\, if you tie a stemless TK or one with a stem\, whether you have Kannukis or not\, the TK is for sure a tie that has led to countless arguments amongst those who tie it regularly as well as against those who refuse to tie it for this or that reason. \nA standout quality of the TK is the fact that it is comprised of basically all fundamental techniques used in Shibari. Learning the TK isn’t limited to just learning a pattern but rather it allows to comprehend most of what is needed to tie with each other\, from proper tensions and placements\, all kinds of frictions and hitches\, as well as basic anatomy and rope handling. \nWe will not only demystify the Takate Kote but we will also look into the intricacies of it. We will work on it from the ground up and participants will get a picture as complete as possible about the advantages and disadvantages of various TK’s. What is it for\, when can we use which and what are the compatibilities and incompatibilities between different variations of the TK. \n  \nPart 1 (July 27th\, 2025\, 7-10pm CET)\n– Myths and monsters – why it’s not the TK’s fault if it’s boring or unsafe.\n– Principles of the TK – actually grounded in physics and not in tradition.\n– Complete structure of a TK \nPart 2 (August 3rd\, 2025\, 7-10pm CET)\n– Variations with hands low or high\n– Variations of the so-called “3rd rope”\n– Attachment points for suspensions and variations to support more up-line points. \nNote:\nThis hybrid class can be visited via zoom AND in person. The in-person class is located at Studio Allegory in Vancouver\, Canada. The class will be recorded and in-person participants will be shown how to avoid being in the recording if they choose to not be in the recording. All participants (online and in-person) will get access to the recording of the class for 30 days after the end of the class. Please be aware that an online ticket is not valid for an in-person participation. The online part is hosted by Karada House\, the in-person part is hosted by Studio Allegory. \n  \nEvent Details\nDate & Time: July 27th & August 3rd 2025\, 7 pm-10 pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: tie-along workshop (hybrid) \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: Single column tie plus a basic understanding of frictions and hitches (half- and munter hitches). \nWhat to Bring:  if you want to tie along you need ropes\, safety gear\, space\, a partner and skills for thorough negotiation. This is a “tie-along” class.
