One day self tying retreat

This retreat is perfect for all self-tying lovers new or experienced. Maybe you find it hard to make time for tying or maybe you just want more rope experiences in a safer, facilitated bubble. This day of self-tying will offer you opportunities for connecting with yourself, practising your skills, and sharing with others. Ceci will guide you through the day and their knowledge is at your disposal.

By tying ourselves we can not only understand rope techniques better but also get an embodied understanding of what rope does to our body. We can use self-tying for pleasure, meditation, training, emotional processing, as a social practice shared among other rope enthusiasts, and many other things.

Practically the day will consist of different hands-on exercises for floor-based tying, facilitated social interaction, technical tips, and offers from Ceci, meditative moments, and introspection.

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 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 pro-actively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
