Join us to walk your very first steps in learning rope bondage (shibari/kinbaku), based on Japanese-inspired rope bondage.
This class is designed for absolute beginners with no prior knowledge whatsoever.
If you have your own ropes, feel free to bring them. If not we will have workshop ropes available. You do not need a partner but you can bring one if you like (everyone needs a ticket).

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 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.
