Rope Basics: Absolute Beginner Level

Join us to walk your very first steps in learning rope bondage (shibari/kinbaku), based on Japanese-inspired rope bondage.

This class is designed for absolute beginners with no prior knowledge whatsoever.

We recommend visiting it 2-3 times until you have accumulated muscle memory and then join our beginner class to go further.

Important Note: Please arrive 15 minutes earlier as it takes time to process your vaccination results etc. at the door. We have also had a lot of people buy tickets and then not attend but ask for the possibility to come at a different date. Due to the pandemic, our classes are small and it is not possible to simply swap dates. Please also make sure you actually read the refund policy you are agreeing to. 💕

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.
