People who 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 emphasize 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: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. 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. 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:Yes\, please / No Thanks – Giving Consent\, Holding Boundaries
DESCRIPTION:Let’s be playful with consent 🙂 \nThe general idea of consent and boundaries is often portrayed to be as simple as offering someone a cup of tea. However\, in reality\, it is much more nuanced and complicated\, especially when taking our intersectionalities\, different contexts\, and power structures into consideration. And then what? \nCaritia will guide and support participants in solo\, paired\, and group exercises to get to grips with what consent means to you\, how it can be applied in everyday situations\, and the mindsets that can open you up to more playful interactions with others. Let’s dive in\, get messy and acknowledge the dimensions. \nThe aim of the workshop is to get to know yourself and your boundaries more deeply. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  May 20th\, 2024\, 7 pm-10 pm \nFormat: workshop \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & Friends \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: N/a \nWhat to Bring: paper\, pen\, questions\, and stories \nSolo or Partnered:  both work (everybody needs to buy a ticket) \nRecording: no. \n  \nWhat we will teach: \n-Layers of consent\, \n-nuances of play\, \n-communication tools\, \n-intersectionality\, \n-relating to others \n  \nAccessibility Note \nThe workshop and discussion are held in spoken English with automated captions in English which are provided by Zoom. Communication within the class can be had via chat but also people can come on mic and speak. If you participate in this workshop and need more assistance\, i.e. someone reading out the chat\, etc\, please message us at info@karada-house.de beforehand.  \n  \nWho is this event for? \nLGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity\, meaning: lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, pansexual\, transgender\, non-binary\, genderqueer/fluid\, queer\, intersex\, asexual\, aromantic\, agender. \nFriends describes people of any and all kinds of gender and sexual identities who are aware and respectful of the necessity\, needs\, and boundaries of a queer safe(r) space and its marginalized community. \nWhen you consider yourself a friend you show acknowledgement to and are respectful of everyone’s self-expression and do not assume\, presume or project non-consensual ideas onto others.

SUMMARY:Fundamental Elements & Philosophy of Semenawa – Naka Style
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is an introduction to the fundamental elements and philosophy of Naka Style\, as interpreted by Naoko. Naka Style follows the tying style of Naka Akira sensei\, who recently appointed Naoko as his third deshi (disciple). Naoko will also share her personal approach to semenawa. \nWe will build understanding on three important aspects of tying in the style\, balancing both the “how” and the “why”: \n– Techniques (structures and safety)\n– Progression in feelings and connection\n– Traditional aesthetics \n“Rope is free” – as what Naka-sensei and Naoko believe. Semenawa is often misinterpreted as being shape-driven\, and therefore rigid. While basic forms in Naka style will be covered\, this workshop will place specific emphasis on adjustments that can be made within the style\, i.e. how to adapt ties to individuals who are unique in their physique\, flexibility\, and expressions in semenawa\, including exploration of different tying possibilities in addition to the high hands Naka style of gote that participants may have had experience with. \nWe will learn together through discussion\, observations of demonstrations by Naoko\, and exercises on both hard and soft techniques. Naoko will adapt her teaching to the students; exercises may be floor ties or suspensions depending on the level\, progression\, and interest of the students. \nNaoko’s education in Naka Style is solely from private lessons with Naka-sensei in Tokyo. This means her teaching style\, techniques\, and philosophy are more Japanese-influenced which may differ from the interpretation by other teachers. Please keep an open mind and be ready to explore a different approach. \n  \nApplication process \nPlaces in this workshop are very limited so we are working with an application process. \nWe suggest applying as quickly as possible as we will work on a rolling basis. This workshop primarily centers on LGBTQIA+ and other marginalized people but is open to Friends as well. \nWe can provide financial assistance in the form of installment payments that can be somewhat customized to your needs. We are also offering one full scholarship (100% waived workshop fees) to a pair of LGBTQIA+ or other marginalized people in need. Please only apply for this scholarship if you have absolutely no other means.  \nIf you would like to participate\, please email us (info@karada-house.de) a short application telling us about \n1) your and your partner’s rope journey \n2) reasons/intentions to participate in this workshop \n3) provide photographic or video evidence showing you can fulfill the minimum requirements \n4) let us know if you need financial assistance via installment payments and how many installments would work for you  \n5) let us know if you are applying for the scholarship \n6) let us know if you want to book accommodation in the house (tell us how many people\, how many nights) \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time: May 18-19\, 2024\, 11-6 pm (lunch break included) \nFormat: Workshop \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level:  \nFor the ones tying / riggers: \nYou must have a good understanding of fundamental techniques and concepts in Shibari / Kinbaku.\nYou must be able to tie a solid gote suitable for suspension\, in any style. Some basic understanding of Naka Style of gote will be helpful but not essential. If you tie the Akechi style of gote\, you must master the 3-rope variations (a 2-rope gote will not meet the pre-requisites)\nYou must have a basic understanding of suspension line management\nYou must have a good understanding of rope safety\nYou must be open to exploring Naka Style and traditional Japanese concepts \nFor the ones getting tied / models: \nYou must feel comfortable being tied in a gote\nYou must have some prior experience in suspensions\nYou must have a good understanding of safety in Shibari\, especially the difference between nerve compression and blood circulation loss\nYou must be open to expressing\, communicating\, and exploring vulnerabilities in rope\nYou must be open to exploring Naka Style and traditional Japanese concepts \nPlease note that switching is not possible due to time constraints and a cumulative teaching style. \nWhat to Bring:  \n– Jute ropes (at least 8-10 lengths of ropes\, 5-6mm in diameter). We also suggest having varying lengths of ropes (some longer and shorter ones are always helpful)\n– Safety shears or any other suitable cutting tools\n– Notepad and a pen (phones are not allowed for note-taking\, we request a phone-free environment for the weekend. If note-taking on your phone is a matter of accessibility\, please let us know in advance of the weekend.)\n– Comfortable clothing\n– Snacks and drinks\n– Aftercare items\n– Respect\, kindness\, and an open mind 🙂 \nTicket: 380 Euros. Price is per PAIR \nAwa and Mei will model for Naoko and are happy to share their experience in Shibari. \nAbout Awa \nAwA (She/her)\, originally from Hong Kong\, is now based in London and primarily models for Naoko. \nShe was drawn to Shibari by the tight\, binding feeling\, and the headspace created through the embrace of the rope and the close relationship with the one tying. The non-verbal elements between the two: the interaction\, the trust\, and the vulnerability are what make every moment so precious to her.\nAs a hyperflexible model\, adjustments often need to be made (e.g. tension) for the tie to be sustainable for AwA. This may pose additional challenges for the one tying\, but is crucial for her to fully sink into rope. Coming back to reality after being in rope and organising her thoughts may take some time\, but she is always open to sharing her experiences\, so please do feel free to speak with her at any point during the weekend. \n  \nAbout Mei \nInitially\, her experiences with rope were expansive\, exploring a wide range of tying styles and types of connections. Her background in aerial arts facilitated a more acrobatic style of rope\, with a greater focus on form\, and dynamic transitions. Whilst her original interest in shibari was primarily focussed on aesthetics\, over time she developed a deep love for the intimate moments\, and the intense emotions brought through sharing so much trust together. \nCurrently\, she mainly models for Naoko in London\, tying in Naka style. Semenawa is very dear to Mei\, as it creates a space for her to be truly vulnerable and honest with her feelings. The gradual progression throughout the tying is something she has come to appreciate and love. She is very comfortable sharing her thoughts about how she feels in ties\, and about her prior experiences in Shibari too. \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.

SUMMARY:Open Rope Training (Intermediate): Suspension lines for floor play
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: SUSPENSION LINES FOR FLOOR PLAY \nWe often rush from floor play to suspension\, but what happens between? Join us in exploring this middle place that offers new opportunities for movement and support\, but also struggle and frustration (for the one in ropes). Closer to floor play than semi suspension\, but adding a third dimension into play. \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:Sadism / Masochism
DESCRIPTION:  \nThere are many forms of masochism and sadism in the world.

SUMMARY:Open Rope Training (Intermediate): Locked-In
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: LOCKED-IN \nDuring this class\, we will explore shibari restriction to the point of consequent immobility. Technically focusing on adding step-by-step rope tensions\, and interconnecting possibilities of the up-lines/branchwork. Space for emotional/feeling-based experience and assessing limits play an important role in safety. It’s a fun ‘artist escape training’. \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.
