You have taken your first steps in rope bondage and would like to learn some more structures and principles? Fantastic! In this weekend class, René de Sans will guide you through learning your first harnesses. René will guide you in constructing your first upper body harnesses such as the classic TK but also show you hishi patterns, hands-in-front and free-hands versions.
Depending on time and the participants’ wishes some simple hip and leg structures can be added to the curriculum.
This class is not designed as a space to quickly learn patterns. Instead, René will teach HOW and WHY patterns are created the way they are so you understand the underlying principles and get empowered to experiment with them.

Safety Concept & Regulation
Please consult our safety concept and regulations for this event here.
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 acknowledgment 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.
