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.

SUMMARY:Cacao & Rope
DESCRIPTION:  \nCeremonial cacao is a gentle connection and partnership facilitator. For some it’s the chocolate deva\, a divine goddess that visits you and opens your heart and allows your walls to gently get lowered\, allowing feelings to emerge. For others\, it’s the theobromine that pure cacao contains which gently changes the way you feel and connect to others. Either way\, ceremonial cacao has wonderful qualities that help you to open up\, relax\, and feel yourself and others in a different way. \nShibari can also be a wonderful facilitator of connection allowing you to let go and connect with your partner in many ways\, whether it’s on the floor or in the air\, dynamic like ichinawa (one-rope) practices or more static and contained. \nTogether we will indulge in a sensual\, warm\, and gentle evening of cacao & rope\, enhanced by the warm and safe environment of Karada House\, some essential oils\, and meditation. \nMamana will lead you through a small cacao ceremony. After you have indulged in the “food of the gods”\, Caritia will guide you into a rope session that will allow you to get closer\, open up and enjoy a wonderful evening. \n  \nWhat to know: \nDo not eat huge meals on the day of the event. \nAvoid spicy foods\, and alcohol during the day before the ceremony. \nDrink lots of water as cacao can be dehydrating. \nIf you are pregnant\, on antidepressants or anti-psychotics [SSRIs]\, have low blood pressure\, or liver conditions\, or are prone to migraines\, cacao might not be for you. You can try a lower dosage at your own risk\, if you wish\, or just enjoy the event with a refined cacao drink for warmth and comfort. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  December 15th\, 2023\, 7-10 pm \nFormat: workshop \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & Friends \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: you have some rope skills you can work with \nWhat to Bring:  Comfortable clothing\, ropes \nSolo or Partnered: all constellations welcome\, everybody needs a ticket \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. 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:Rope Hangout
DESCRIPTION:  \nA rope hangout is an event where we learn from each other\, peer-to-peer\, get to know each other\, and do rope in a relaxed atmosphere\, regardless of experience level. You can hang out\, have coffee\, tea\, or soft drinks and chat with people if you don’t feel like tying. Being there is enough! \nNote: This is not a rope jam. It’s a peer learning environment. \n  \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & Friends \nTime: December 14th\, 2023\, 7-10 pm \nCost: 5-15 Euros \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: all levels welcome \nWhat to Bring:  yourself\, optionally ropes  (we can also lend you ropes) \nSolo or Partnered:  both work\, this is peer learning so partners are not necessary \n  \nSchedule: \n6.45 pm-7:05 pm: doors open (to ensure a safer space\, we ask you to be on time so everyone can see who is present at the starting circle)\n7:15 pm: starting circle\n7.30 pm – 10:00 pm: peer learning and social hangout\, space is chatty and there is no music \n  \nFormat: \nYour role as a participant is to share your knowledge and to get inspired by other people. You ask for help from other participants and help others whenever needed\, especially in risky or emergency situations. There is at least one facilitator present for the entirety of the hangout. The role of the facilitator is to offer the space and be the contact person in case of safety concerns. The facilitator is a participant\, not a teacher. The power of the facilitator is over the space and safety\, not over the knowledge shared. \n  \nAre you a newbie? \nWelcome to the hangout! You can attend at any time of your rope journey. We recommend sharing what you know with others even if you just began to tie. Teaching is the best way to learn!

SUMMARY:Poetics of Rope Bondage
DESCRIPTION:  \nPoetics of rope bondage takes the participants on a journey through the contexts of tying and how we can use them to improve our tying as well as our understanding of tying. In a narrative\, specifically created by Barkas for a new pedagogy of rope\, concepts like aesthetics\, patterns\, suspensions\, and floorwork are deconstructed through exercises that convey ideas rather than recipes. \n  \nContents include: \n– “The city of Kinbaku” and why tourist attractions are distracting\n– Technology vs Science. Why it’s not the pattern’s fault if it’s boring\n– Textbooks vs poetry. Why you’ll never understand your partner. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  December 13th\, 2023\, 7 pm- 10 pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: workshop (virtual) \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English with a lovely Austrian accent \nKnowledge level: single-column tie and basic understanding of some upper body ties \nWhat to bring: ropes if you want to tie along \nSolo or partnered: all constellations welcome\, everyone needs to buy a ticket \nClass recording: yes\, will be available for 14 days to the participants of the conference \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 \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: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: December 13th\, 2023\,  January 17 & 31\, 2024\, February 7 & 28\, and March 13th\, 2024\, 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. If you participate in this workshop and need more assistance please message us at info@karada-house.de beforehand.  \n  \nSafety Concept & Regulation \nPlease consult our safety concept and regulations for this event here. \n

SUMMARY:Yes\, please / No Thanks – Giving Consent\, Holding Boundaries
DESCRIPTION:  \nLet’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:  December 12th 2023\, 7-9.30 pm \nFormat: workshop \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & Friends \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: paper\, pen\, questions\, and stories \nWhat to Bring:  Comfortable clothing\, questions\, curiosity\, pen\, and paper. \nSolo or Partnered: all constellations welcome\, everybody needs a ticket \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.

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.
