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. The 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.

Adaptations for physical needs will be shown and can also be provided upon request. If you participate in this workshop and need more assistance 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\, \nWomên describes people who are identifying themselves as female in their gender identity. 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. 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:Shibari Archetypes
DESCRIPTION:In this online series\, we will be exploring the ‘classic’ shapes of shibari\, which will be referred to as ‘archetypes’. Even though shibari is still early in its development\, there are already clear repeated patterns in its short history. These archetypes have become synonymous with the practice of shibari\, particularly rope bondage with a Japanese influence. Shapes such as Kata-Ashi Zuri (one leg suspension)\, Gyaku-Ebi Zuri (reverse shrimp suspension) and harnesses such as Gote Shibari (hands tied behind the back) are often repeated – let’s delve into why. \nWhat is an Archetype? \nAn archetype can be any of the following: \n1. a statement\, pattern of behaviour\, prototype\, or a main model that other objects copy\, emulate\, or “merge” into. You could also consider this a “standard example”\n2. the Platonic concept of pure form\, believed to embody the fundamental characteristics of a thing.\n3. a collectively-inherited unconscious idea\, a pattern of thought\, image\, etc\, that is universally present\, in individual psyches\, as in Jungian psychology\n4. a constantly-recurring symbol or motif in literature\, painting\, or mythology. This definition refers to the recurrence of characters or ideas sharing similar traits throughout various\, seemingly unrelated cases in classic storytelling and the media. This usage of the term draws from both comparative anthropology and from Jungian archetypal theory. \nBy looking at shapes as Archetypes\, rather than as an ideal form\, only then can we understand what is necessary to maintain or what modifications are needed to adjust to the individual experience. We will be exploring how to modify and choose variations depending on skill level\, risk assessment\, body differences\, aesthetics and what kind of mood or sensation you want to focus on. Each Archetype will also include options with and without suspension. The focus will be on adapting to the circumstances and dynamics rather than reaching for an ideal form. \nEach class will involve a detailed discussion about each Archetype’s aesthetics\, physical and psychological effect as well as how to play with them for different purposes such as versatility for transitions\, Semenawa or for sustainability.

SUMMARY:Open Rope Training (Intermediate): Ceci’s Arms in Front Chest Harness
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.  \nTeacher: Ceci Ferox \nStyle: Ceci’s tying is best described as fusion-style with a deep understanding of different schools of Japanese rope bondage. They are a specialist in modifying harnesses to different body shapes\, sizes\, compositions\, and abilities. Ceci is driven by understanding why people tie the way they tie\, and loves to deconstruct technique and communication into their basic elements to understand them better. In suspension\, Ceci prefers working low\, staying connected\, and moving through transitions. \nTopic of Exploration: Ceci’s Arms in Front Chest Harness \nThis technical rope workshop will focus on a versatile and simple upper body harness designed by Ceci that can be adapted for different bodies.

SUMMARY:Kink and Neurodivergence
DESCRIPTION:  \nOur intimate connections can be a mixture of complex\, delightful messiness that each one can find a challenging prospect to walk through. Add to that the multiplicity of how each individual processes through your senses\, minds\, and emotions\, the potential for misunderstanding is vast. When intimacy\, touch\, and desire are added to that already heady mix is it any wonder that things become confusing. \nWhy is it vital to speak and share ideas about neurodivergence/ neurominority people within the context of kink and intimacy in general? How can more supportive paths be found to support the curiosity of intimacy and connection? \nIn this open discussion and lab\, Caritia aims to open up a personal and collective conversation about the topics of kink and neurodivergence\, inviting participants to actively dialogue and share their experiences around this complex topic. And in doing so explore ways in which the nuance and messiness can be brought to bear as part of a utopia of sharing space with each other. \nNote: This is an alive and ongoing process of learning\, it is not intended to be a ‘fits in a box’ idea or concept. \nWho is this for: \nThis workshop has been derived for a variety of folx: New folx to kink. Minimal experience folx. Highly experienced folx. Curious and interested in learning more about yourselves folx. People with neurodivergence and those without. Folx with partners/intimates/connections who are neuro & non-neuro who are interested in kink. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time: October 3rd\, 2024\, 7-9.30 pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: discussion & lab \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: N/A\n \nWhat to bring: Questions\, stories\, active suggestions\, compassion\, and an open heart \nEveryone must purchase a ticket no matter your constellation \nClass recording: Yes. The session will be recorded and available for 14 days after the workshop. The participants will not be recorded. \n  \nConcepts/offers for discussion\n \n– meditation/intro \n–  what is neurodivergence? broad-spectrum \n– what to consider? intersectionality\, boundaries\, negotiation\, and care \n– language(s)\, perspective(s)\, intention(s) \n– opening to differences and the space that needs \n– formats will include self-reflection\, small groups\, big group \n– gentle embodiment practice throughout the 2.5 hours (including a short break) \n– open freeform space for free association (if it proves to be supportive of the group) \n– Feedback and close \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. You actively request and use people’s chosen pronouns. You remain mindful of the fact that Karada House is first and foremost a space for queer people that you are also invited to attend. You have a genuine concern for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and remain in awareness of heterosexual and gender straight privileges. \nFriends don’t have to be perfect. None of us are. We request that we all pro-actively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people. \nIf you cannot afford the ticket price (even the solidarity price)\, please send us a message. We will find a way.

SUMMARY:Kink as a Vessel for Grief
DESCRIPTION:So little space is gifted to sadness and grief; frequently\, these emotions are bypassed and sidelined. Caritia believes honoring\, acknowledging\, and releasing grief can be liberating for all aspects of your body and life. How can the practices of kink intentionally support opening up of self? Supported by the ritual container of collective gathering. \nCaritia invites participants into this collective space to speak to grief as a companion through the body\, acknowledging the challenges and choosing to sit together in compassion. \nParticipants may practice solo or in a room with others. Choosing 1 or 2 kink practices that would allow for this special moment. Caritia will guide you with exercises\, writing prompts\, and moments of pause and silence. \nIt is advised that each participant select a kink practice that they have done previously so that no one’s focus is drawn away from the grief tending we are sitting with. Participants are welcome to write to Caritia with any additional questions they may have. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  October 1st\, 2024\, 7 pm – 10 pm \nFormat: Discussion \nMinimum Knowledge Level: – \nWhat to Bring: ideas\, questions\, partners\, ways to keep notes \nSolo or Partnered: any constellation works. Everyone needs to buy a ticket \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. \nPreparation \nParticipants are encouraged to set up their space in a way that they have all that they have nearby – snacks\, music\, toys\, or tools they wish to use.

SUMMARY:Magic Tricks for Excellent Rope Handling
DESCRIPTION:This class takes a deep dive into the minute details of what makes good tension\, clean placement\, even lines\, and smooth\, effortless rope movement. \nThese absolutely fundamental (and universally applicable) micro-techniques are difficult to pin down but magic once implemented\, and make the difference between good rope and excellent tying. We will look at how to use hands more effectively\, going into details like which fingers hold tension when\, how to flip or angle rope to prevent twists\, which angles to follow when throwing rope to clear it\, how to multi-task so that one hand can accomplish two (or three) tasks simultaneously. \nWe will break down how the person tying can maneuver their hands and body to tie even cuffs (thigh\, ankle) that stay in place\, or how to tweak those cuffs better suit the needs of a tie. We will also look at techniques to prevent finger and hand injuries for those who tie. These techniques are useful to anyone who ties\, no matter their style\, and all skill levels will find these techniques useful and productive. \nBeginners are especially invited to attend as it is easier to build good habits from the beginning. Solo attendance is also encouraged\, and techniques will be taught in such a way that they can be practiced on oneself. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  September 30th\, 2024\, 7 pm – 10 pm CET \nFormat: discussion & demonstration \nMinimum Knowledge Level: A single-column tie \nWhat to Bring: yourself\, ropes\, safety tools \nSolo or Partnered: any constellation\, works \nClass recording: yes \nThis class will be recorded (only the facilitator\, not the participants) and is available for ticket holders for 14 days after the event. \n  \nAccessibility Note \nThe workshop and discussion are held in spoken English with automated captions in English which are provided by Zoom.

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.

DESCRIPTION:  \nOh\, Sweet Torment – A Predicament Rope Masterclass is all about Yada’s approach to predicaments in rope bondage. Yada balances delicately the best and worst of feelings and predicaments\, always making sure that sweet suffering and loving dominance interact intricately with safety and the feeling of being taken care of for the rope bottom. This class will take you from the floor into suspension and give multiple adaptations and possibilities of fucking around and finding out in the most beautiful and luscious ways. \n  \nBackground: \nYada Keawburee aka. Yada Kinbaku is a student of female Japanese kinbakushi Yoi Yoshida\, a shibari artist and sex educator from Bangkok\, Thailand. \nYada has been exploring Japanese rope bondage since 2015\, learning from her teacher Yoi Yoshida who is also known as “the mother of Kinbaku” in Japan. Yada’s style is an adaptation of Yoshida’s rope work which adapts to the individual needs of the person she is tying. Central to Yada Kinbaku’s philosophy is the belief that Kinbaku is a deeply communicative art form. For her\, the ropes are a means of exploring and expressing complex emotions and vulnerabilities in relationships. She views each tying session as a collaborative journey\, where the interaction between the person tying and the person being tied is paramount. In each session\, Yada strives to find and allow for the expression of deep fears\, emotions\, and desires. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  September 22nd\, 2024\, 1 pm – 6 pm (with lunch break in between) \nFormat: Workshop \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & Friends \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: both person tying and being tied must be able to tie common patterns for suspension\, have good knowledge about uplines and how to be in suspension for some time.

SUMMARY:Stillness – A Semenawa Masterclass with Yada Kinbaku

Yada will show gentle and forceful approaches\, starting on the floor and going into suspension while also sharing her personal philosophy which is deeply influenced by East to South East Asian ideas of body\, mind\, love and suffering. \n  \nBackground: \nYada Keawburee aka.
