A rope hangout is an event where we learn from each other, peer-to-peer, get to know each other, and do rope in a relaxed atmosphere, regardless of experience level. All kinds of Japanese inspired rope bondage/shibari/kinbaku are welcome.
You can hang out, have drinks and snacks and chat with people if you don’t feel like tying. Being there is enough!
The things you research, share, and explore at rope hangout don’t have to be on this topic, it’s merely a source of inspiration that we offer if people are interested. Bring your own topics, questions and ideas if you like.
Note: This is not a rope jam. It’s a peer learning environment.
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.
