Asymmetry can give the body the peace and comfort needed when playing with ropes. Injured bodies, trans bodies, sensitive bodies, tired bodies, muscular bodies, fat bodies, all bodies can benefit from adjusting and working around certain areas with asymmetric ties.
In this workshop, Pauline aims to share their reasoning for creating and building asymmetric ties, so participants can find their own way to build them instead of following pattern-based instructions. Get ready to build your own asymmetric harness for rope play, and unlock the creative process while maintaining a strong safe technique and construction for any kind of shibari session.

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,
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 respect 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 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.
