Open Rope Training for Beginners: Elements of Connection and Communication

• You can come alone or with a partner. You can tie yourself or your partner. Alternatively, you can partner up with another participant.
• You can but do not need to bring any ropes as we will provide workshop ropes for you.
• You can also spontaneously come by on the day and purchase a ticket online right up to the beginning of the class if there is space left.

Note:

The class starts at 7 pm sharp. Please arrive 15 minutes earlier so we can process your ticket and welcome you. Once the class has started we do not allow entry. You cannot transfer your ticket to another week. If you are not sure you can come, please purchase your ticket on the day as soon as you are absolutely sure you can make it.

If you know you will come to the open training more than just once, please ask for our discount card! (For every 5 classes, the 6th class is on us!)

This is the last Open Rope Training at Karada House. In 2026, we will switch to a new rope curriculum with monthly classes for all experience levels. Your Open Rope Training Discount Card is still valid for these classes.

Read about the new rope curriculum here.

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.
