There is no doubt that rope can be intensely intimate. But what does that mean? How can we find an understanding of the correlation between rope bondage and intimacy and use it to explore other ways of encountering each other through the medium of rope? In this workshop series, we will take you on a journey through deconstructing intimacy and ropes and we will offer a possibly new way of approaching each other.
This is in interactive workshop. We will ask participants to add their thoughts and experiences, though, there is no need to participate in this way..

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 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 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 proactively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
