SUMMARY:Constellations of Desire
DESCRIPTION:Constellation work is an interesting tool to discover and work with a powerful mapping technique that allows for surfacing hidden or unconscious dynamics within ourselves and our relationships. This tool made popular by a German psychologist Bert Helliger who appropriated ceremonial and ancestral customs and tools for communicating and relating of the Zulu people in South Africa. \nAnouchK is bringing the practice of constellation work back to its origins. In this experimental sessions\, AnouchK will offer a two hour space to use constellation work as a tool for participants to work with their ideas\, problems\, anxieties and hopes in regards to desire. \nThe idea of constellations is to bring some order into a structure where there is currently chaos and instead put lightness\, release\, soothing\, understanding. AnouchK’s work aims to be able to help you to access other perspectives that were not accessible because there was not enough distance between the situation and yourself. \nWhat does this look like? \nA minimum of 6 people will work together with AnouchK to do a constellation either around a specific topic one of the participants brings or on the topic of “desire” in general. Together the group will see what comes up and work in a guided group to uncover what is hidden. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time: November 8th\, 2024\, 7 pm – 9 pm \nFormat: constellation \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: an open heart and mind\, readiness to try out new stuff \nWhat to Bring: – \nSolo or Partnered:  all constellations welcome \nTicket: Price is per person \n  \nSafety Concept & Regulation \nPlease consult our safety concept and regulations for this event here. \n  \nAccessibility Note \nThe workshop is held in spoken English.

SUMMARY:Hurt Me\, Deliciously – Playing with Pain
DESCRIPTION:  \nThere is something extraordinarily powerful in feeling and playing with consensual and voluntary pain. Why would a person want to feel pain? Why would another love to give it to someone else? How is pain and the processing of it changed depending on the context and relation it is put into? \nIn the workshop\, Mamana will go into a deep deep deep dive into all things pain and pain play. Together we will look at what pain actually is\, how it is produced and interpreted in the brain and how it is influenced by personal\, biological\, social\, and other contextual factors you can play with. We will go into the details of why people like to give and receive pain\, how you can process it\, which typical impact play instruments are helpful in inducing a certain kind of painful sensation. \nIn short\, this class will fry your brain with nerdy knowledge and allow you to think about your interest in pain play on a whole new level. Come for the facts\, stay for the soul-searching of why sadomasochism is fucking delicious. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  November 7th\, 2024\, 7 – 10 pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: workshop & discussion (virtual) \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: this class is suitable for all levels \nWhat to Bring: yourself\, your ideas and questions \nSolo or Partnered: all constellations welcome\, everyone needs a ticket \nClass recording: Yes. Only the facilitator will be recorded. The recording will be sent out after the live class and will be available for 14 days. \n  \nWhat we will discuss \n. Define Pain? \n. Good pain\, bad pain? \n. What do consent\, trust and context have to do with it? \n. How to receive and process pain \n. How to tweak your pain play to where you want it to go \n.

SUMMARY:Critical Thinking and Intimacy – Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:In kink and intimacy education\, we are often confronted with the same disadvantages that any unquestioned pedagogy comes with. A lack of critical thinking is not the fault of the participants but rather the product of normative structures and mechanisms that are similar in many different educational contexts. \nThis two-part workshop focuses on one particular educational tool – the question. We will look at questions from various perspectives and work on establishing not only a toolbox of questions but also a culture of questioning. \nPart 1 (November 6th\, 2024\, 7-10pm CET) \nIntroduction and presentation of a case study. We will look at an exemplary content from kink and intimacy. What is a question? What is critical? What is critical thinking? \nPart 1 (November 13th\, 2024\, 7-10pm CET) \nWe will have a closer look at what questions can do\, what they are\, and how we can work with them in the context of kink- and intimacy education. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time: November 6th & 13th 2024\,  7-10 pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: workshop & discussion (virtual) \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: – \nWhat to Bring:  curiosity \nSolo or Partnered:  all constellations welcome (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. 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:What Rope People Can Learn From Climbers
DESCRIPTION:  \nRock-climbing is another practice that deals with ropes\, with weight\, with positions\, with gravity; a practice that has evolved over decades if not centuries and that has the advantage of being supported by technology and public support. Why not looking at that practice and pick up some of its knowledge? In this workshop\, Barkas\, a licensed ACMG* top rope (not rope top) instructor and climbing route setter will be introducing techniques and tools from rock climbing that add not only possibilities for rope bondage but also puts certain topics into context and fact checks some of the myths circulating in the world of rope bondage. \nA special focus will be on techniques and technologies that add to accessibility of suspensions.

SUMMARY:Murasaki Haruan – Foundations of Yukimura Ryu
DESCRIPTION:Murasaki met Yukimura Haruki in 2003\, soon after her debut as a professional mistress\, when he came to the club where she worked to teach kinbaku. Shortly after\, she began assisting him on video shoots\, which allowed her to continue learning his style of tying. When Yukimura started to offer formal instruction in Yukimura-ryu in 2006\, she became one of his first students. She accompanied Yukimura’s overseas workshops as an assistant instructor in 2012 and 2014. In 2014\, she became the first Japanese and first female certified instructor of Yukimura-ryu. After the sudden passing of Yukimura Sensei in 2016\, she began to accept a limited number of students with a genuine interest in learning Yukimura-ryu. \n  \nFoundations of Yukimura Ryu is a thorough introduction into Yukimura style aiming to lay down the basics of this very distinct school of thinking and using rope. We will use less rope and the poses are simple in their technique. However\, their impact will be manifold and multilayered. This workshop is aimed at people interested in learning how to communicate with their partner through limited rope and emotions. It is not suitable for people expecting to explore semenawa or more performative styles. \nModelling for this workshop: René de Sans \n  \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\n・Kubi nawa\n・Playing with a rope\n・One rope gote \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. \n  \nThere are also limited spaces for private sessions available. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time: October 26-27\, 2025\, 11-6 pm (lunch break included) \nFormat: Workshop \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: Japanese with simultaneous English translation \nMinimum Knowledge Level:  \nFor the ones tying / riggers: \n– good understanding of fundamental techniques and concepts in Shibari / Kinbaku.\n– good understanding of suspension line management\, experience suspending\n– good understanding of rope safety\n– you must be  willing to learn about deeper understanding of communication with your partner \nFor the ones getting tied / models: \n– you must feel comfortable being tied in a gote\n– you must have some prior experience in suspensions\n– a good understanding of safety in shibari\, especially the difference between nerve compression and blood circulation loss\n– you must be open to expressing\, communicating\, and exploring vulnerabilities in rope\n– experience being suspended \nPlease note that switching is not possible due to time constraints and a cumulative teaching style. \nWhat to Bring:  \n– Jute ropes (6 lengths of ropes\, 5-6mm in diameter)\n– Safety shears or any other suitable cutting tools\n– Notepad and a pen\n– Comfortable clothing\n– Snacks and drinks\n– Aftercare items\n– Respect\, kindness\, and an open mind 🙂 \nTicket: 450 Euros.

SUMMARY:Winter Ancestral Medicine Circle
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis guided space is all about connecting to our own wise loving ancient queer ancestors of blood and bones or of adoption who lived before the troubles – before colonialism\, before empires like the Roman one\, before monotheistic religions\, before heteronormativity. \nEvent Details \nDate & Time: October 23rd & 30th\, November 13th & 23rd and December 4th\, 6-8pm \nFormat: workshop \nAudience: LGBTQIA+ \nLanguage: English and Deutsch \nMinimum Knowledge Level: you need to have worked with this system before\, if you have not please book a session to find out which lineage you will work with. More information in the FAQ further down the page \nWhat to Bring: Comfortable clothing \nSolo or Partnered: Solo \nPrice: 120-160 Euros for all 5 dates \n  \nWhat we will do \nEach time we meet there will be a space for silence and arrival\, simple grounding exercises\, and a sharing circle. \nAfter that we will enter ritual space and each of us will meet with ancestral elders on one of our lineages of bone and blood (whether we have ever met our parents/grandparents or not) or of our adoptive caregivers. We ask that they heal that lineage up until the last ones who recently (in our lifetime) died. \nThis process starts with establishing respectful clear boundaries with the recent dead and connecting to wise loving ancient ancestors who lived before the troubles. It is them who do the healing. We are the ones asking them to do it. Each of the steps will be explained and each participant gets to have their own pace and rhythm. \nAfter meeting with our lineages we will have another sharing circle and an informal hang-out with tea and snacks. \nQuite a few of the participants have already done this kind of ancestral healing as taught by Daniel Foor. If you have not done this kind of ancestral healing\, no problem! Just – before this course starts – book one session with me in Berlin or one of my 75+ colleagues online to figure out which lineage you will be working with. There are many practitioners from many places of the world and all kinds of different ancestries that offer online sessions. Most of us offer low-cost sessions to marginalized folks. See the link below. \n  \nFAQ \nWhy ancestors of bone and blood / adoptive parents? Why not any queer ancestors or ones of vacation or spiritual lineage? \nIt is beautiful and important to do that. It is simply not what this circle is about. This circle is about facing and getting to know the ancient ones we are made of\, the ones who are deeply invested in helping us by making sure the dead on that line change. When the dead are not well they cannot join their vibrant powerful kind ancestors. They are like ghosts that stop the lineage-specific goodness and wisdom from reaching us fully. This is often especially relevant to our lives when the recent dead\, possibly the ones with remembered names\, are unwell. Another layer is that many of us\, especially queer people\, have hard times with or reject our families of origin because we were harmed by them. Having super clear boundaries with the living can be the best thing to do! However being in touch with cool\, loving\, quirky\, powerful ancestral great great great… great grandparents who are in their integrity does something magical to the sense of who we are\, to our identity. A „new“ and truly loving family. In my case they made me feel held and safe like I never felt before and helped me come to terms with my Nazi fascist grandparents. You can read more about that on my website\, see below. \nWhy is this important when there is so much else to do / to worry about? \nAll over the world people are in touch with and in gratitude to their ancestors and commune with them regularly. This used to be the same here in central Europe – until the troubles came. It is something normal\, not even „spiritual“\, just a thing like body hygiene or dancing or sports or play. Something humans do. When we don’t\, we miss out on powerful guidance\, support\, and wisdom. When we don’t it is so much harder to be regulated and have a sense of direction and a sense of who we are. When we do\, we are better friends\, better partners\, better comrades in our collective actions for justice and earth honoring and for an end to the many -isms. When we do\, we care for the ones who came before us\, and they care for us in return. Only they are so much wiser and more powerful than we are… In these times of turmoil\, war and terror\, and mass extinction we need all the support we can get. \nWhy am I\, a white German cis femme\, offering a practice that a white cis dude from the us is teaching? \nBeing in touch with our own ancestors is accessible to anyone. There are countless ways of doing this. I chose this approach „ancestral medicine“ because it focuses on ritual safety and because the lineage healing process as we learn it in the training is not copying ancestral traditions or rituals from any culture\, religion\, or specific lineage of spirituality. \nIt is based on a synthesis of common knowledge from many places\, such as „the dead are present / many of them are unwell / the dead can change / there are well ones who can support when we ask them / ritual safety and good boundaries are very important“. I respect that whenever other „ancestral medicine practitioners“ do use rituals they learned from specific places or people they name what they are and why they feel it is okay to do this. I personally do not offer rituals that are clearly not from the European places my people are from. Another reason I chose Daniel Foor’s approach is that it is embedded in a community of practitioners that come from many different ancestries and traditions. We keep each other in check around power dynamics\, we support each other\, and we learn with and from each other. We disagree with each other and have conflicts\, and it is amazing to do all this with the backing and guidance of all of our ancestors. There are things I do not like\, and many more I like a lot. It is complicated. How could it not be? Being in touch with our own people is accessible to anyone – it can be hard to do on our own\, though. Especially when we did not grow up with any guidance on this. It is very dear to my heart to bring some basic skills on this to my fellow queers. Join us! \n  \nWho is the guest presenter Tsepo? \nTsepo Bollwinkel Keele is gifted with a rich ancestry of the South African Sotho nation and the Indigenous Khoi/San peoples on one side and with Norsemen and British/Germans on the other side. Tsepo is a queer Black African living in German exile. They are lecturing about social and environmental justice including an animist framework into every practice. They see the urgency to embrace Earth honoring thinking and doing in all aspects of liberation efforts. For Tsepo healing the disconnect from Earth\, Unseen Worlds\, and Ancestors is a beautiful way of empowerment. \n  \nWhy do I have to book a session if I have not done this kind of ancestral work before? \nSimply because figuring out which lineage to start with is one of the only steps in the process that requires a lot of spoken guidance when we do it for the first time. It is not possible to do this for 8 people at the same time\, plus many participants already know which line they are dealing with. So… it is the only thing that does not work in a group very well unless all start this process together. \nWhat happens in between our circle evenings? \nEvery Wednesday we do not meet you will receive an email with suggestions\, ideas\, and links related to ancestral healing topics. You can always book individual sessions with me in Berlin or one of my 75 + colleagues online. The combination of individual sessions and in-person circles is lovely though not at all necessary. \n  \nWhat if I miss a session or change my mind? \nNo worries. Everyone will have their own pace and rhythm. We cannot give you part of your money back if you miss sessions – there are only eight spots and it is a closed group and both Anna and Tsepo are paid for their work and the amazing Karada house cannot reduce rent just because you can’t make it. For the same reason\, with registration\, you agree that you will not be refunded if you cancel your booking after December 6th\, 2023. Anna is available via email if you have any questions or concerns before booking. 15-minute info phone calls are possible\, too\, schedule by email gestaltundkunst@gmail.com  \n  \nAccessibility Note \nThe space\, KARA\, is on the ground floor but has three steps to enter the house. A ramp for wheelchairs is available at all times. There is also a parking space available right in front of the door if needed. KARA has an accessible bathroom available. There are no thresholds in the entire house. The garden is only partially accessible at the moment. During the workshop\, we will sit on the floor. Sitting in a chair can also be provided. Adaptations for physical needs will be shown and can also be provided upon request.

SUMMARY:Open Rope Training (Intermediate): Tying & Timing
DESCRIPTION:This bi-weekly intermediate open rope training is directed at building on what has been taught in the Beginner Open Rope Training. \nPlease note that the classes will be taught in different styles from this level onwards.  \nWe start the class intuitively by following individual impulses with rope. After that\, the main part of the evening we focus on the systematic management of rope\, body handling\, and safety principles: knots\, wrapping\, and aesthetic frictions. The material contains a wide range of harnesses for floor work and simple semi-suspension. It is strongly inspired by the shibari works of Japanese artists Dasniya learned from over the last fifteen years. There is time to switch roles to better understand restriction from both the perspectives of the person tying and the person getting tied so you can experience anything from sexy phantasies and meditative ties. \n  \nTopic of Exploration: TYING & TIMING \nRepeating Japanese inspired technique: futo momo\, gote and potentially semi-suspension\, we will look at different temporalities while tying. Considering the preparation time before a bondage ritual. Connecting individual rhythms of rope from slow binding to mid tempo or speed tying\, and also talking about ‘crip time’ constellations. How can experimenting with tempi\, rhythm and rope translate intimate desires into a groovy session? Or\, how can we embrace our anti-groove? \n  \nTeacher: Dasniya Sommer \nStyle: Dasniya’s basic rope style orientates strongly towards Japanese Kinbaku artists: Akira Naka and Kasumi Horai– whom she attended workshops with in Europe and Japan. Other inspirations are found in the work of Norio Sugiura\, and the legacy of Nureki Chimuo\, who can be considered the protagonists of this ‘school/their era’. The tying system is often considered to be an advanced technique. But with regular practice\, attention to detail\, and to safety an adapted version for European bodies and perspectives can be taught from scratch. It combines a mix of basic shapes\, improvising principles and it trains a sensitive intuition for consequent restriction. \nDasniya’s personal tying is also informed by her longtime dance training and Buddhist background. Rigging from the perspective of the moving body\, and mindful listening to impulses and resonance often create a meditative vibe to get high on ropes. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month\, 7 pm-9 pm CET (Berlin) \nFormat: hands-on workshop \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: single-/double column tie\, basic frictions\, you need to be able to tie a box tie /TK\, simple up-lines \nWhat to Bring: comfortable clothes that are more tight fitting if possible\, a set of 8 of your own ropes\, safety equipment \nSolo or Partnered:  preferably partnered but you can also partner up in the class with other solo people or tie yourself (everyone needs a ticket) \nPrice: 25 Euros per person \n  \nNote: \nThe class starts at 7 pm sharp.

SUMMARY:Under Lock & Key: Chastity Play with Penises
DESCRIPTION:Delve into the world of chastity play and locking away penises — a blend of power dynamics and psychological mind play. \nChastity play has surged in popularity within the kink community\, and for good reason. As we navigate the intricacies of this kink\, it becomes evident that chastity play is more than just locking away intimate parts. An intensive play of power and submission\, forging a deep and playful connection with the possibility of extending into someone’s everyday life. \nThis workshop looks into the diverse aspects of chastity play. From its potential as a long-term commitment to a long-distance experience\, and the art of using chastity play to modify behaviors or condition mindsets\, we unveil the nuanced layers of this intriguing kink – where desires are both locked and liberated. \n\nDuring this class\, we will cover: \n• History: Uncover the roots of chastity play in the realm of kink.\n• Safety: Navigate safety protocols for responsible and secure chastity play.\n• Devices: Explore various chastity devices\, understanding their features\, pros\, and cons.\n• Psychology: Delve into the intricate psychological aspects of Chastity Play.\n• Play Ideas: Discover creative and exciting scenarios for chastity play.\n• Discussion: Engage in an open dialogue\, sharing experiences and insights. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  October 18th\, 2024\, 7 pm-9 pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: class/discussion  \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: There’s no pre-requisite of any kind.

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• warm-up exercises \n• consent & safety \n• dos & don’ts \nAfter that – fight! \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  every third Tuesday of the month\, 7.30 pm-9.30 pm CET (Berlin) \nFormat: hands-on workshop \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & Womên \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: you need to know your body\, its boundaries\, and needs in terms of health and safety \nWhat to Bring: comfortable\, sport clothes that are more tight fitting if possible \nSolo or Partnered:  solo\, partnered\, in a group (everyone needs a ticket) \nPrice: 25 Euros \n  \nMandatory Covid-19 rules \nIf you would like to inform yourself about other safety measures we have in place\, please consult our Covid-19 measurements here. \n  \nAccessibility Note \nThe workshop is held in spoken English.

People that fit this category can be part of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum or not. We created this category specifically to indicate that we also invite cisgender\, heterosexual womên. \nThe word is our own creation and serves as a replacement for the word “womxn” which is now being (ab)used for transmisogynist statements. The ^ in womên represents a marker (similar to the “x” in womxn) that wishes to give emphasis to the fact that womênhood is an intersectional umbrella term that holds many different people and experiences and is not biologically predetermined. \n  \nWhat else to know \nBefore purchasing a solidarity ticket\, please check here if you are eligible for one.

SUMMARY:Decolonizing Kink – Shifting Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Through her previous work in Karada House workshops\, Oya (@anthropokinkster) has demonstrated that the kink and BDSM practices are often viewed as power play and/or punishment within the context of a Western colonial society\, wheras they are understood as ritual and even growth practices from the Pan-African viewpoint\, empowering its communities & peoples. \nCaritia continues this line of thinking and invites participants to consider another pathway in the complexities of these self-exploratory\, bodily freedom and community care practices by exploring the multi-layered possibilities of what intentional BDSM and kink practice could look like. Acknowledging its colonial history (and supremacist male dominant gaze) and where it could go next in its evolution to support our needs and interpersonal growth personally as well as collectively. \nCaritia will guide participants in taking a deeper dive into their personal desires and ways to embrace play\, vulnerability\, and trust. Divesting and destigmatizing ourselves and our collectives from the hegemonic view of kink and seeking\, instead\, for the deeper potential for interconnection\, release\, and rest within is a multitude of possibilities. This interactive space is for beginners and those with experience to turn inward to their own joy and curiosity. We will also be poking at the ideas as to why collective engagement could be a key to deep care of self and others. \nThe principles for this session are that everyone attending\, in whichever capacity\, has something to contribute and that knowledge is for everyone—keep what fits and throw away what doesn’t. You are the captain of your ship. Participants are encouraged to come with questions and critiques\, acknowledging that nuance and multiple truths can exist simultaneously. \nThis is an actively anti-racist\, all-bodies-embracing\, disability-aware\, trans-inclusive virtual space. Caritia desires to hold an intentional space for learning and sharing ideas and knowledge. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  October 14th\, 2024\, 7-10 pm CET \nFormat: workshop & discussion (virtual) \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: All levels welcome \nWhat to Bring: – \nSolo or Partnered: all constellations are welcome\, everyone needs a ticket \nClass recording: Yes. Participants will not be recorded. The recording will be available for 14 days after the live class \n  \nWhat you will get in this workshop: \n• Perspectives Pass & Present \n• What I’m I into? And why? \n• Power vs Empowerment \n• Adult Play in Adult Space \n• Psychology of Kink \n• Trauma aware practice \n• Response and Responsibility \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  \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.

This is a shared experience so please read the room and give others space as well. \nDue to hygiene and/or high levels of trigger potential\, we do not allow: \n– blood\, pee\, scat play \n– knife play\, needle play \n– uniforms and/or role play that includes institutional power dynamics (i.e. school\, hospital etc.) \n  \nWhat’s the space like? \na kitchen and hang-out area \n2 mezzanines for private tying \none large room with suspension points\, hashiras\, bamboo and rings provided. \nThe quiet garden (you can be in the garden in the summer breeze to get a break from the action inside). \n  \nHow it works \nThe door opens at 5:00 pm and stays open until 7:00 pm (sharp). \nYou will need to purchase a ticket upfront as space is limited.  \nAt 5:30 pm we will give an introduction to people who are new to the space and want to meet others. \nYou can then choose your space and mode (talk\, cuddle\, sleep\, eat cake\, light play) and enjoy yourselves. \nWhat to bring \nYourself and maybe things you like to share with others. \nPlease bring a blanket or towel to put on the yoga mats we provide. \n  \nWhat else to know \nThis jam is aimed at LGBTQIA+ audiences. \nThis space is a sober space.
