Taking Care of Your Body in Ropes & while Tying

Rope can be so much fun. But if you do not take of yourself and your partner(s) things can turn to shit pretty quickly. Time to pause and get some good and deep information about how to take care of your body when engaging in shibari. Addie, knowledgeable beyond belief (honestly, it’s wild!), AND equipped with not only medical knowledge but also tons of personal experience in all roles (tying, being tied, self-tying) will guide you through this two-part series.

She will not only cover how to prevent (or nurse) physical injuries but also psychological injuries (which happen more often in rope than physical ones). Addie will also go into detail on how to stay safe(r), how to adapt to different needs and bodies and will round things up with a myriad of tips and tricks.

This is not a class. It’s a treasure trove for your and other people’s health and better bondage experiences.

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.
