Welcome to suspending yourself! It’s a fun way to play with ropes but also one that can be a bit tricky.
René de Sans loves to suspend herself and will show you all the tricks and tips that will make this practice fun and accessible. Together with René you will take your first steps, learn about uplines, safety, and how to tie yourself in sustainable ways (yes including the dreaded “tying behind your back stuff”). We will also look at motivations, intentions and how you can get the sensation that you are looking for out of your tie.
Modifications for all body types and pain tolerances will be made, so come join us and explore yourself.

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.
