Self-Tying for Beginners Weekend Workshop

Join this workshop to learn bondage basics for self-tying. This workshop is specifically aimed to get the most out of solo play with rope. This can be your first bondage workshop ever or a chance to get deeper into a self tying practice that fits your needs.

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.

This workshop will help you explore self-tying while learning the basics of bondage techniques. We will talk about desires and needs, self-care, and safety. We will also do practical exercises for different kinds of self-tying and practice tying techniques. We will also explore different patterns and ties suitable for self tying.

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.
