SUMMARY:Technically A Suspension
DESCRIPTION:  \nThere are a whole bunch of options for technically performing suspensions\, as in they get the person off the ground\, but maybe only for a moment\, or only a centimeter\, or partly supported on a body/furniture\, or using a pulley\, or making a rope hammock\, or only if the person in ropes flexes to lift off. \nThis is a class in opposition to the often high demands of suspension\, where the goal is to find ways to have the person in ropes not touch the ground without having to get too complicated\, strenuous\, physically demanding\, or pretentious about it. \nThis class also touches on accessibility – what are some ways of making a suspension that doesn’t require hand strength to hold and lock suspension lines? What about ways of adding extra supports for sore bodies\, or suspending without constricting certain areas? Bring questions and queries\, there will be space to lab special requests! \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  August 14th\, 2024\, 7 pm-10 pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: workshop (virtual) \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: an understanding of up-lines\, an understanding of what makes basic suspensionable body attachments (chest harness\, loops\, leg binder\, whatever)\, and a sense of humor and adventure \nWhat to Bring:  ropes\, if you want to tie along \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. \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.

SUMMARY:Open Rope Training (Intermediate): Chaos
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: CHAOS \nEmbrace the chaos and join Ceci in this training that breaks the rules. We’re going to try to forget logic and structure while still ending up with something functional. \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:Kink Camp 4 Fat Folx
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to 3-days of sensual\, kinky\, cuddly\, and playful connection for fat people\, only. \nFacilitated by 3 fat facilitators\, Kink Camp is a space for us to explore our sensual\, erotic\, and kinky selves within the comforts of a fat-only community. You can expect fun workshops\, delicious food\, and delightful play spaces. \nWhile there’s space to talk about and explore the political and cultural intersections of our fat bodies\, it’s not the objective of the weekend to theorize and deep-dive. We want to open this space where our fatness isn’t necessarily the topic of our gathering\, but rather a unifying embodiment community. \nWe open this invitation to self-identified fat folx. We’ve chosen to omit clothing sizes as the ‘cut off’ is quite culturally specific. This space is for folx who experience institutionalized fatphobia. If you’re unsure as to whether or not this applies to you\, please consider: \nDo you experience fatphobia in kink spaces?\nCan you purchase clothing in ‘straight size’ shops?\nDo you experience fatphobia in medical settings? \nIf you’d like further guidance\, reach out.

SUMMARY:Rope Handling Intensive
DESCRIPTION:  \nIn this 2 part workshop\, we will establish a solid foundation for handling rope efficiently\, safely\, and smoothly. Proficiency in rope handling is necessary to soften the focus of the tying part and instead concentrate on the person in ropes. This does not mean that one has to be perfect and free of mistakes to have a meaningful experience – the opposite is true. We will work on how to make the best of the little mistakes when they happen as well as minimizing their occurrence. \n  \nPart I: (August 7th\, 2024\, 7-10 pm) \n– Ways of holding the ropes when tying.\n– Ways of hooking the ropes when tying frictions.\n– How the body position changes everything\n– Using frictions to interact with each other\n– Using little mistakes for interacting with each other \n  \nPart II: (August 21st\, 2024\, 7-10 pm) \n– Moving the body or moving the ropes\n– Or both\n– When to keep tensions and when not. And why.\n– Tips and tricks for making untying more interesting\n– Suspension lines\n– Other materials than ropes. \nThere will be time for practice throughout the workshops. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time: August 7th & 21st\,  2024\, 7 pm-10 pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: workshop (virtual) \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: none for part I\, knowledge of basic suspension lines is recommended but not obligatory \nWhat to Bring:  if you want to tie along you need ropes\, safety gear\, space\, a partner\, and skills for thorough negotiation \nSolo or Partnered:  both (each participant needs a ticket) \nClass recording: Yes. The recording will be made available after the live class for 14 days \n  \nWho is this event for? \nLGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity\, meaning: lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, pansexual\, transgender\, non-binary\, genderqueer/fluid\, \nFriends describe 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 acknowledgment 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 proactively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people. \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 \nBefore purchasing a solidarity ticket\, please check here if you are eligible for one. \n  \nPhoto: Roser

Each time we will offer a teaching on one particular topic. Depending on your skill level and how quickly you can pick up on things\, you can then either use the remaining open-space time to practice this one new skill in your own time or you can up the ante with the help of your teacher.

Join this open training to learn about how to use rhythm\, proximity and intensity for impactful rope play. \n  \nTeacher of the week: Caritia \nCaritia’s style is an eclectic one\, blended as it is from 20+ years in kink and learning to tie (and getting tied) from a diverse range of Japanese and Northern European instructors. After twelve years on this path\, which has ebbed and flowed\, ‘I’m forever a curious student’. Focused on accessibility\, from pedagogy to diverse movement (stillness)\, specializing in the body\, floorwork\, partial suspensions\, and adaptive ties\, Caritia infuses (her) teachings with laughter as a key element of play.\n \n  \nYou can come alone or with a partner. You can tie yourself or your partner. Alternatively\, you can partner up with another participant. \nYou can but do not need to bring any ropes as we will provide workshop ropes for you. \nYou can also spontaneously come by on the day and purchase a ticket online right up to the beginning of the class if there is space left. \n  \nNote: \nThe class starts at 7 pm sharp.

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? \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  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  July 31st\, 2024\, 8-10 pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: hands-on workshop \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: some experience with kink roles \nWhat to Bring: A sense of humor and a loving heart. \nSolo or Partnered: all constellations welcome\, everybody needs 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 \n  \nAccessibility Note \nThe workshop is held in spoken English. German can also be provided. 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.

SUMMARY:Holding Space\, Teaching Well – A Training for Space Holders & Facilitators in sex-positive Spaces
DESCRIPTION:  \nHolding Space\, Teaching Well is an 8-day in-person training space for people who hold space and or facilitate in sex-positive spaces. Many of us have come into this role by accident\, because we were asked to or because we tried to fill a gap and cater to a need within our community. Oftentimes times we quickly find ourselves in complex situations having to navigate the intricate waters of communication\, consent\, community building\, and teaching while also having to work within capitalist systems\, power structures\, intersectionalities\, conflict\, and politics. \nAnd of course\, we do so as people who have our own biases\, who have to grapple with their own trauma and neurodivergence\, who lack knowledge in some places\, and who also need to take care of our own well-being\, our own boundaries\, and resources. In short: it’s really fucking complicated. \nThere is no formal training for this kind of job or vocation. We at Karada House have spent the last four years fucking around and finding out more or less through trial and error. We have learned a lot but also wish to gain more knowledge\, so we have curated this training for ourselves and other LGBTQIA+ space holders and facilitators. The space holders and facilitators of this training all come at this topic from a standpoint of having practical knowledge but also vast training in many other fields which they will draw from. Lots of different theoretical and practical access points will be offered to give a variety of ideas and tools to participants. \nHolding Space\, Teaching Well is a fully self-financed initiative from our side and we are offering it at a cost price (meaning we make no profit) so it is as accessible as possible. \nIf you wish to participate in this program (paid or via scholarship)\, you need to apply here. Applications will be approved on a rolling basis until all spaces are filled. Please be aware that the spaces are very limited. \n  \nDate & Time:  July 23-30th\, 2024\, all day \nFormat: Training (theory\, exercises\, group and individual work) \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ \nLanguage: English \nWho is this training for: \n– this training is specifically for people of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum \n– people who hold permanent or temporary sex-positive spaces (i.e owners of such spaces\, festival or event organizers\, etc) \n– people who teach/facilitate in sex-positive/kink space (i.e. rope\, sex ed\, kink & BDSM teachers) \nPrerequisites: you have some practical experience in holding space and/or teaching\, you must have been part of the Resilient Space Holding program (March 2024) or you need to have watched and completed the Resilient Space Holding Self-Learning Video before the start of this training. \nWhat to Bring:  note-taking supplies\, and anything you need to help keep your nervous system regulated (stim toys\, blanket\, fluffy socks..)\, any other items will be communicated shortly before the training starts \nSolo or Partnered: space is limited but we allow two members of the same space/project to join together\, solo space holders/facilitators are also welcome \nPrice: 650 Euros per person \n  \nAdditional Information: \nThe price includes snacks\, and tea/coffee/water plus the occasional cake break. In order to lower the costs for participants we also offer a limited number of accommodation spaces in our space. Accommodation is 10 Euros/night and per person. It includes a mattress\, bed linens\, duvet and pillow. A fully equipped kitchen\, a beautiful garden\, and a shower are available. \nAdditionally\, if needed\, you can email us and ask for payment in installments. We can offer up to 5 installments. The full price must be paid before the training begins. \nWe have also 2 full scholarships to give to applicants who have no/low income and work in precarious situations. The scholarship includes free accommodation. Unfortunately\, we cannot cover your travel expenses. \n  \nTeachings: \nPracticalities and Architectures of Creating & Holding Intentional Spaces (Facilitators: Sophia Rose\, Beatrice Behn) \nThis session will bring together facilitators and space holders to increase their practical skills and confidence in working with groups and creating and holding intentional spaces. \nWe will do this by \n– experimenting with different facilitation approaches\, \n-exploring boundaries of space and time when teaching and/or holding space \n– giving and receiving feedback on communication styles \n– discussing and practically exploring the different factors that contribute to and impact space-holding starting with initial contacts all the way to aftercare \n– how architecture\, using and moving in space\, a space setup\, tools\, and additional offers shape your space-holding and teaching \n– how to implement more accessibility for you and others \nThis deeper understanding will bring you into more connection with and awareness of the varying factors inside and outside of yourself when holding space and supporting a group. \n  \nComplaint Making as part of Setting Up Conflict-Positive Spaces for Community Building Praxis (Facilitator: Vishnu Vardhani) \nis part of Vishnu’s auto-ethnographic research that aims to comprehend the ever-evolving community-building practices and their language. The genesis for this work is the idea of power relations and the dynamics that impact decision-making processes. Can we explore the limits of the language\, both spoken and written\, and how we grapple with that in our work as well as the imperative and agency for constructing intentional communities?\nThe workshop will be shaped with the following set of questions\, and thoughts; \n1. Can complaint-making be a recording device?\n2. Can complaining be the agent of change inside of a community that works with\nFeminist Values?\n3. Feminism is a word\, a lot of us use\, answer to\, try and define\, but how do we do feminism?\n4. Can we think with feminist futurism\, by placing the emphasis on the vitality\, cultures\, ontologies\, energy\, and power of people within dynamic structures of a collective\, with ease?\n5. What can a complaint expose other than inequities and ill-treatment of people?\n6. Can Complaint-making help us become effective decision-makers?\n7. Can a complaint help community members to actively acknowledge biases?\n8. Can a complaint render communities capable of addressing necessary conflicts\, while being caring?\n9. What makes a space conflict positive that also helps a community thrive?\n10. Can the art of dissent become a predominant tool for governance?\n11. When do we need to focus on becoming ungovernable vs when we do become a community with dynamic and effective self-governance tools? \nThe workshop will have methodologies informed by Vishnu’s Diasporic Indian Identity. During the training program Vishnu would like to share Feminist Governance Tools (FGT) focused on 3 of the many tiers of community building praxis. FGT is based on the values of equity\, emphasizing creating psychologically safe environments while drawing on the use of consent\, decision-making processes\, setting up conflict-positive spaces\, and complaint-making as diversity work will form the body of training. \n  \n Teaching\, Presenting & Sharing Practices of Intimacy – The Problem of Education & Vulnerability (Facilitator: Barkas) \nLarge areas of intimacy and sexuality education for adults appear as a patchwork of myths or outdated-at-best beliefs about how we learn and acquire skills. Those skills are then shared or taught in ways that are informed by neurotypical\, patriarchal\, and heteronormative educational environments. Teaching topics from intimacy and sexuality demands not only a queering of the status quo but first and foremost a critical approach to seemingly given foundations. In this workshop\, we use deconstruction as an authoritative way of breaking through a rigid\, normalitarian pedagogy. \nThe following outline is a rough table of contents. The exact order and focusses will ultimately depend on the participants:\n⁃ Modes of learning – models of skill acquisition\n⁃ Modes of teaching – models of presentation\n⁃ Teaching vs sharing – queering care\n⁃ The roles of community\n⁃ Consenting to triggers – Contents of intimacy education and its perception\n⁃ The uses of performance.\n⁃ Building fluid curricula – neurodivergence in education \n  \nCommunity Building and Harm Reduction (Facilitator: Addie Tahl) \nThis class is the by-product of years of kitchen table discussions about community/social dynamics\, issues around power and influence\, underlying weaknesses in how we perform consent and safety and responsibility\, the inaccuracy of “community” as a concept\, ways to introduce/support/care for (new) people entering spaces and practices\, the tripping hazards unique to teaching on the road\, et cetera. \nIt has coalesced into a series of soap box proclamations and small hills to die on\, accompanied by proposals for reasonable\, practical approaches and solutions. This combined lecture/discussion invites participants to explore a series of questions and suggestions around structuring spaces and practices to support healthier collectives\, positive growth\, and individual empowerment. \n\n  \nSchedule: \nDay 1\, July 23th\, 2024 \nPracticalities and Architectures of Creating & Holding Intentional Spaces (Facilitator: Sophia Rose\, Beatrice Behn) \nDay 2\, July 24th\, 2024 \nPracticalities and Architectures of Creating & Holding Intentional Spaces (Facilitator: Sophia Rose\, Beatrice Behn) \nDay 3\, July 25th\, 2024 \nComplaint Making as part of Setting Up Conflict-Positive Spaces for Community Building Praxis (Facilitator: Vishnu Vardhani) \nDay 4\, July 26th\, 2024 \nComplaint Making as part of Setting Up Conflict-Positive Spaces for Community Building Praxis (Facilitator: Vishnu Vardhani) \nDay 5\, July 27th\, 2024 \nIntegration Day\, free time \nDay 6\, July 28th\, 2024 \nTeaching\, Presenting & Sharing Practices of Intimacy – The Problem of Education & Vulnerability (Facilitator: Barkas) \nDay 7\, July 29th\, 2024 \nTeaching\, Presenting & Sharing Practices of Intimacy – The Problem of Education & Vulnerability (Facilitator: Barkas) \nDay 8\, July 30th\, 2024 \nCommunity Building and Harm Reduction (Facilitator: Addie Tahl) \n\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: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.

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.
