SUMMARY:Kink is Political – Welcomeness
DESCRIPTION:Kink is Political is an online discussion with Addie Tahl\, Georg Barkas\, Andrea Rimon\, and occasional special guests. Participants are invited to join a discussion during which we unite critique with an emphasis on the practical and day-to-day issues and challenges of kink\, intimacy\, and relationships. \n\n\n\nFocusing on concepts central to BDSM\, leather\, rope\, and sex-positive communities\, it interrogates widely adopted approaches and commonly held notions. It aims to understand the politics of kink beyond the language of sexual liberation and politics of sexual liberalism\, both frames that have proven insufficient in addressing widespread harm\, a rising international tide of sex-negativity and reaction\, or in guaranteeing that the most marginalized can sexually flourish. \n\n\n\nKink is Political is an examination of the contexts and consequences of how we talk about and understand gender and sexuality. It is a forum to think about how kink spaces and practices operate\, what works\, what doesn’t\, and what we can use to build something better. \n\n\n\nThis month’s topic: Welcomeness\n\n\n\nIn February’s session\, we’ll discuss the concept of “welcomeness” as it appears in sexual harassment law in the United States. We’ll ask: how might the concept of welcomeness help us think through the assumptions of a consent standard? How do we deal with cases where asking for consent may in and of itself be an aggression or cause of harm? What are the ways that “welcomeness” falls short\, and provides cover for pervasive sexual harm?  \n\n\n\n\n\n

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. Our amazing instructor Montse will guide through \n\nwarm-up exercises\nconsent & safety\ndos & don’ts\n\nAfter that – fight!

SUMMARY:Cuddles\, Cakes and Kinks
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to Cuddles\, Cakes and Kinks\, your monthly aftercare event to take a break from cisheteropatriarchy\, capitalism\, the burning world\, or life in general. We’re here to rest so we can resist\, to play as an antidote to pressure\, and to let the people eat cake. Queer people\, welcome! \nWe are opening our wonderful house for the evening so you can come by\, relax\, and calm down amongst other queer people. There will be hammocks and little areas for cuddling and enjoying touch. Get or give massages. Do some soft\, slow kink. Or hang out in the kitchen with us and just chat. We will be baking a bunch of cakes and there will be coffee\, tea\, and snacks to nourish your bodies and souls. \nLight and slow kink interactions are welcome. Anything that allows you to come back to yourself and into connection with others in a soft and nice way. This is not a play party or sex club\, but a playful community event. The vibe is cozy\, and we don’t do genital play. \nThere is a separate cuddle room that is completely free from any kind of play\, horny vibes\, and nudity. It’s for cuddles\, naps\, quiet conversation\, maybe reading a book. \n\n

SUMMARY:Love is More than Romance
DESCRIPTION:Caritia is offering this guided discussion and workshop based on a poem written for CARNE – a group piece performed with Gruppo Oito in 2024. The poem speaks to and of the intersectional nature of love as an action\, inspired by Bell Hooks. \n“The word ‘love’ is most often defined as a noun\, yet we would all love better if we used it as a verb\,” – bell hooks \nParticipants are invited to join this discourse on what love is for you. The many ways in which it can be expressed and (re)discovering intentional ways to allow all kinds of love into our lives as an act of revolution\, resistance and care. \nPull up a chair\, lay in your bed or create yourself a nest\, let’s commune together.

SUMMARY:Hogties for Everyone
DESCRIPTION:This session explores an iconic bondage position: the Hogtie! – but lets explore it to suit different moods\, preferences and limits. \nWhat if your partner struggles to keep their hands behind their back? How do you fluidly move someone in and out of this position without just asking them to lie down? How can you make it meaner…? \nWhether you crave the strict restraint of a classic hogtie\, prefer a playful approach with wiggle room\, or need specific adaptations for your partner’s body\, there’s something for everyone as we explore both traditional damsel-in-distress style and versatile\, innovative interpretations. \n

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.

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:Open Hearts\, Open Minds: Exploring  "Alternative" Relationship Structures
DESCRIPTION:Modern romance dictates that a single individual should fulfill all of our needs – from sharing joys and fears\, co-parenting and financial commitments\, to sexual happiness\, identity confirmation\, and spiritual fulfillment. Is this fair? \nWe will look into what relationships give us\, then explore a wide variety of relationship structures that are being employed to have people fill all of their needs. Monogamy and serial monogamy are valid options\, but what about polyamory\, swinging\, pre-arranged trysts\, friends with benefits\, or choosing to be our own life partner? \nWhat We Will Do\nHow do we communicate in our relationships to make whatever structure we choose actually work\, and we’ll look into issues like jealousy vs. envy\, new relationship energy\, and making each of our friends and partners feel like the unique person they are in our lives. \n

SUMMARY:Gentle Landings: Rope When Energy Runs Low
DESCRIPTION:The last day of an event is exhausting. Your body is tired\, your energy is depleted\, but you still want rope. This class is specifically designed for those moments when you want connection and sensation without the physical demands of dynamic rope or suspension. We’ll explore mindful\, low-energy approaches to rope including: creating meaningful floor-based scenes that prioritise stillness over movement\, using minimal rope for maximum impact\, low partial suspensions that require less rigger energy and provide supported rest for bottoms\, techniques for finding intensity through presence rather than complexity. \n\nThis isn’t about pushing through exhaustion – it’s about honouring your body’s limits whilst still experiencing the joy of rope. You’ll learn to create rich\, connected experiences that work with depletion rather than against it\, perfect for the end of rope-intensive weekends or managing chronic fatigue in regular practice. Expect gentle pacing\, plenty of rest breaks\, and techniques you can take home for whenever your energy is slim but your desire for rope remains strong.

SUMMARY:Hashira Shibari
DESCRIPTION:Hashira is a vertical wooden post\, traditionally found in Japanese architecture. Hashira Shibari (柱縛り) refers to tying to/on/with the hashira. It is commonly associated with suspension\, tight binding\, inescapable restriction or objectification. In this class\, we will take a broader approach\, exploring how we can use simple techniques to play. \nNote: As per request this session is recorded but the link will only be given to participants who participated in the live class. We are therefore labeling this session as generally “without recording”. \nphoto: Touchwood\nmodel: nawaduck

SUMMARY:Nawa Sabaki (Rope Handling)
DESCRIPTION:Most students begin their shibari learning with foundational techniques such as single & double column tie\, frictions\, knots\, and basic forms. In this class\, \nNaoko will share how she started learning – her first lessons were about nawa sabaki (rope handling) and how to use rope to communicate. Rather than focusing on techniques\, this class will explore the sensibility of tying. The session will be a mix of demonstration and hands-on practice (time permitting). \nTopics include: \n* Different uses of nawajiri (rope ends) — exploring “give and take\,” seduction\, seme and others.\n* Expanding the use of shiten no nawa (anchor ropes) — how positions and angles change the communication.\n* Deep dive into tension — understanding it not as absolute measure of tightness\, but as a variable in relation to the model’s reaction and the moment.\n* Appreciating the dominant role of rope handling and the relatively minor role of frictions and knots. \nNote: As per request this session is recorded but the link will only be given to participants who participated in the live class. We are therefore labeling this session as generally “without recording”.

SUMMARY:Shibari Through the Male Gays
DESCRIPTION:This lecture examines the prevalent rope aesthetics of the internet and asks what happens when we look at them through the lens of gay erotic imagination. It centers on the themes of stoicism and struggle that shape homoerotic art\, from the disciplined fantasies of Tom of Finland\, to the tortured ecstasy of Saint Sebastian\, to the raw intimacy of the locker room\, and even the bound beast final boss of a video game. Using the perspective of gay leathermen as a point of reference\, the class highlights aesthetic gaps that can inform and enrich everyone’s practice\, regardless of gender or orientation\, and expand the visual spectrum of what we present online. Participants are invited to explore how desire\, power\, and beauty take shape across different cultures of kink. The goal is not to critique but to expand\, applying the depth of shibari lineage technique to new emotional registers and creating work that feels more personal and alive.

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

SUMMARY:Rope Bodies: A Conversation on Disability\, Chronic Illness\, and Kink
DESCRIPTION:This structured conversation explores the intersections of disability\, chronic illness\, and rope practice. Led by Mouse\, a rope educator living with fibromyalgia\, this discussion creates space for honest dialogue about adapting rope practice to fluctuating abilities\, communicating needs with partners\, and challenging the ableist assumptions embedded in rope culture. \nWe’ll explore topics including: managing energy levels and pacing in rope scenes\, navigating “good days” and “bad days” with partners\, disclosing (or not disclosing) disability in rope spaces\, adapting techniques for pain management\, building sustainable rope practices\, and finding community as a disabled rope practitioner. \nThis is a space for sharing experiences\, asking difficult questions\, and building collective knowledge about making rope truly accessible. Whether you’re disabled/chronically ill yourself\, partner with someone who is\, or simply want to be a better ally in rope spaces\, this conversation will provide insight\, validation\, and practical strategies for creating more inclusive rope communities

SUMMARY:Agura & Transitions
DESCRIPTION:In Japanese\, “agura” refers to the cross-legged sitting position: on the floor\, legs crossed\, knees open\, and the feet tucked under the thighs. By extension\, we also use this term to name the shibari harness designed to tie someone in this posture. Especially interesting for its stability and versatility\, this harness distributes the weight of the lower body effectively and opens up a rich playground for exploring openness\, twisting\, arching\, and compression ! \nThe class will begin with a clear breakdown of how to build a structured agura with 3 to 4 ropes.We will then look at the different ways to attach suspension lines to it\, before offering a sequence of transitions and variations that encourage creativity and playful exploration around this iconic form.

SUMMARY:Your Consent Sucks
DESCRIPTION:The reality is that many of the frameworks people use for consent\, the ones meant to keep us ‘safe’ or to mitigate risk in kink/rope sessions\, have major gaps or simply don’t work for a lot of people. Whether it’s because of neurospicy brains\, the exchange of money for services\, exchanging money for services\, trauma\, or simply the impossibility of remembering someone’s 3 page list of soft/hard limits and boundaries… the truth is most consent and negotiation scripts don’t function in real life. So\, what do we actually do instead? Let’s talk about it with some nuance\, an roundtable discussion bringing together different personal and professional approaches and perspectives on consent and negotiation\, and how we might approach intimacy in play in ways that actually work for the people involved.

SUMMARY:The Chaos Method: Embracing Rope Experiments
DESCRIPTION:Creativity thrives when we give ourselves permission to experiment without pressure to achieve “perfect” results. This playful\, experimental class invites you to break free from following patterns and discover your authentic rope voice through structured play. We’ll use the “what if?” method to deconstruct familiar rope patterns and rebuild them into something uniquely yours. What if a chest harness was asymmetrical? What if the tightest point was somewhere unexpected? What if you only used rope on one side of the body? \n\nThrough live demonstration and guided prompts\, you’ll be encouraged to experiment alongside the teaching. This class celebrates mistakes as learning opportunities and “failures” as discoveries. You’ll develop confidence in your creative problem-solving abilities whilst building a toolkit of techniques for breaking moulds and creating personalised rope experiences. Perfect for anyone feeling stuck in pattern-following mode or wanting to inject more of their personality into their rope. Expect laughter\, surprises\, and the freedom to truly fuck around and find out what happens when you trust your creative impulses. While you’ll be tying with your own partner in your own space\, we’ll create opportunities for sharing discoveries and collective learning throughout.\nNote on recording: This class is participation heavy and works with what participants bring and show. We will ask you to only bring and show stuff if you are okay with being in the recording. You can still participate without being part of the recording. We will explain details at the beginning of the class.
