Rope Bondage exists in space and time. We need to necessarily tie somewhere but this somewhere is not obvious. Every point in space implies a time, a situation, as well as an orientation, which, in turn implies a direction.
In this workshop series we will look at the different spatial and temporal aspects of tying. The questions arising are not as philosophical as they seem.
This is a hands-on workshop series with plenty of down-to-earth tips and tricks for tying. We explore what it can mean to tie on the floor, to tie standing up, to suspend. We will move around in space and we will see how the session changes when we pick a different direction of the tie. We also check out the advantages of a heightened spatial (and temporal) awareness for technical aspects of rope bondage. All three parts include tips and tricks for rope handling and technique.

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, queer, intersex, asexual, aromantic, agender.
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.
