Rope Basics: Psychology of the Body in Rope

Different positions of the tied body are not just visual or practical.

Our posture, position, and relation to each other directly affect how we feel and what the dynamics of our play become.

In this workshop, Ceci Ferox will help you build more mindful play sessions. You learn how to position bodies intentionally.

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. 💕

Note: The price is per pair.

Safety Concept & Regulation

Please consult our safety concept and regulations for this event here.

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 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.
