What you should know: 

The workshop is suited for those with no previous experience with self tying or self suspending however previous experience and knowledge of shibari and rope terminology is needed as we will learn at a relatively high pace.

You need to be able and comfortable to tie: single column tie, double column tie, ladder tie and have basic knowledge of up lines (suspension lines).

You need at least 6 ropes and 3 carabiners (min. 21kn, preferable oval in shape). If you do not have as many ropes, please contact us at info@karada-house.de, we can sell you ropes.

Please bring yourself lunch/snacks. We provide water but no kitchen service/snacks due to Covid-19 restrictions. We will ask you to wear a mask in the workshop. When you self suspend you can take it off.
