Connective rope play

This workshop explores how to create connection and intensity in rope bondage play. Ceci will talk about bodies, connective techniques, and narratives to give you tools to create connections and more mindful play sessions. The goal is to make connection feel easier and less like telepathy.

Different positions of the tied body are not just visual or practical. Our posture, position, and relation to each other directly affect how we feel and what the dynamics of our play become. We can also make an impact with how we use the rope in relation to our bodies.

Please find a partner for this workshop in advance and have a conversation about your desires and boundaries beforehand.
You will use the tying skills you already have during the workshop. This means the workshop is suitable for all skill levels from beginner to advanced (as long as you have learned the basics).

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.
