While a lot of thought and energy and practice and so on and so forth can be put into tying, we are also all facing challenges in our everyday lives that are less and less bearable. Ropes can also be used to forget about all that shit out there, all the fascism, the economy, the obliteration of human rights, the climate, and everything else that is bleak. It’s not a failure to just want to stop for just a moment.
In this guided dissociation, we will be building a palace in our minds and with our ropes. We will meander through gardens and participate in lustful banquets, we will fly over landscapes and meet with creatures who we might want to engage with or just watch from a distance.
In this journey, narrated and guided by Barkas, participants are invited to turn their brains off for a couple hours, take a rope and either on themselves or with someone else, just escape into a fantastic world.
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 describe 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 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 proactively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.

If this session includes a recording you can obtain it by simply purchasing a ticket. You will automatically get access to the live class and the recording as they come in a package. The recording login data will be sent out 24–48h after the live event and will be available for (at least) 14 days after the live event.

All offerings are invitations to reflect — no curriculum, no exam, no training. Recordings exist solely to support personal integration and are available only for a limited time.
