Aibunawa, also known as “caressing rope,” serves as a contrasting approach to Semenawa, or “tormenting rope,” and draws its inspiration from the teachings of Japanese teacher Yukimura Haruki.
The idea of caressing rope reflects on the idea that the ropes used in tying are not just tools for restraint but also instruments for expressing affection, care, and intimacy. While each rope and knot serves a purpose, both practical and symbolic, the overall experience aims to create a sense of closeness and emotional connection between the tying partners. This class delves into the principles and concepts underlying this gentle but intense way of tying.
Note: This class is not a Yukimura-style class; René merely utilizes the known concepts she observed from various teachings and teachers to explore the potentials of this gentle but intense way of tying.

Who is this event for?
LGBTQIA+ 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.
Friends 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.
When 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.
Friends 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.
