Open Rope Training for Beginners: Moving with each other
2024-01-24 19:00 - 21:00 | KARA, Perleberger Straße 59, Berlin, 10559, Germany
This bi-weekly open training is designed for anyone who would like to learn about Japanese-inspired rope bondage/shibari/kinbaku whether you see yourself in the role of the person tying or being tied.
Our open rope training for beginners is a continuous offer for anyone looking for a regular practice space to advance their skills. Each time we will offer a teaching on one particular topic. Depending on your skill level and how quickly you can pick up on things, you can then either use the remaining open-space time to practice this one new skill in your own time or you can up the ante with the help of your teacher. You can also choose to train your own skills on another topic if you like and have a teacher give you feedback and help you improve.

Topic of the week: Moving with each other on the floor
Different ways of moving create very different rope sessions, and everyone playing has agency on how they move their own body. This open training explores how to be more creative with movement and how the person getting tied can completely change the course of the session.
Teacher of the week: Caritia
“Caritia’s style is an eclectic one, blended as it is from 20+ years in kink and learning to tie (and getting tied) from a diverse range of Japanese and Northern European instructors. Twelve years on this path, which has ebbed and flowed, ‘I’m forever a curious student’. Focused on accessibility, from pedagogy to diverse movement (stillness), specializing in the body, floorwork, partial suspensions, and adaptive ties, Caritia infuses (her) teachings with laughter as a key element of play.
Caritia identifies as queer, gender non-conforming, black and the trickster vibes. Pronouns ‘Nah’”

You can come alone or with a partner. You can tie yourself or your partner. Alternatively, you can partner up with another participant.
You can but do not need to bring any ropes as we will provide workshop ropes for you.
You can also spontaneously come by on the day and purchase a ticket online right up to the beginning of the class if there is space left.

Note:
The class starts at 7 pm sharp. Please arrive 15 minutes earlier so we can process your ticket and welcome you. Once the class has started we do not allow entry. You cannot transfer your ticket to another week. If you are not sure you can come, please purchase your ticket on the day as soon as you are absolutely sure you can make it.

Playing with Power Dynamics

Whilst disentangled from the systemically oppressive influences of the globe.

Cacao & Rope
2023-12-15 19:00 - 22:00 | KARA, Perleberger Straße 59, Berlin, 10559, Germany
Ceremonial cacao is a gentle connection and partnership facilitator. For some it’s the chocolate deva, a divine goddess that visits you and opens your heart and allows your walls to gently get lowered, allowing feelings to emerge. For others, it’s the theobromine that pure cacao contains which gently changes the way you feel and connect to others. Either way, ceremonial cacao has wonderful qualities that help you to open up, relax, and feel yourself and others in a different way.
Shibari can also be a wonderful facilitator of connection allowing you to let go and connect with your partner in many ways, whether it’s on the floor or in the air, dynamic like ichinawa (one-rope) practices or more static and contained.
Together we will indulge in a sensual, warm, and gentle evening of cacao & rope, enhanced by the warm and safe environment of Karada House, some essential oils, and meditation.
Mamana will lead you through a small cacao ceremony. After you have indulged in the “food of the gods”, Caritia will guide you into a rope session that will allow you to get closer, open up and enjoy a wonderful evening.

What to know:
Do not eat huge meals on the day of the event.
Avoid spicy foods, and alcohol during the day before the ceremony.
Drink lots of water as cacao can be dehydrating.
If you are pregnant, on antidepressants or anti-psychotics [SSRIs], have low blood pressure, or liver conditions, or are prone to migraines, cacao might not be for you.

Yes, please / No Thanks – Giving Consent, Holding Boundaries
2023-12-12 19:00 - 21:30 | KARA, Perleberger Straße 59, Berlin, 10559, Germany
Let’s be playful with consent 🙂
The general idea of consent and boundaries is often portrayed to be as simple as offering someone a cup of tea. However, in reality, it is much more nuanced and complicated, especially when taking our intersectionalities, different contexts, and power structures into consideration. And then what?
Caritia will guide and support participants in solo, paired, and group exercises to get to grips with what consent means to you, how it can be applied in everyday situations, and the mindsets that can open you up to more playful interactions with others. Let’s dive in, get messy, and acknowledge the dimensions.
The aim of the workshop is to get to know yourself and your boundaries more deeply.

Playing with Dominance and Submission
2023-12-09 10:00 - 2023-12-10 18:00 | KARA, Perleberger Straße 59, Berlin, 10559, Germany
Dominance and submission have been bedfellows for centuries. Power play is all around us, and often we are confused by it.
Playing with consensual power and power hierarchies is liberating and, when done well, freeing and empowering for all involved. Caritia sees D/s as a joyful practice of exploring desires, wants, and needs through shared trust, surrender, and communication.
Join Caritia to discover your D/s style and keys to unlock all the playful power dynamics that live within you by getting to know yourself better and decolonizing your view and vision of these seemingly polarised perspectives to drop into the nuance and claim our rite/right to have some serious fun.

By means of ethnographically and sociologically informed research, this 3-hours workshop seeks to explore kink from various cultures across the African continent.

Creating Intentional Space(s)
2023-11-10 19:00 - 21:30
Sharing space is something that can be fun, challenging, complex, and messy, no matter the dynamics.
Creating a space for yourself as a solo individual is different from an event offered in a public setting involving 20 or 1000 people, for example, a play party or club night (or any other space). Are there cross-over or universal aspects that can support you, your play partners, and groups who desire to create space together? And what are the parts that are unique to your personal experience(s) that need to be considered to allow for you to be in a playful/intimate/open state?
In this discussion, lab & shared collaborative setting, Caritia aims to offer an inward-to-outward approach to creating space that offers nuance for expansion, creativity, and support when walking into the unknown. As well as keys to communicating and practical ways to resolve challenges in & away from charged situations. This 3-hour workshop is a toe-dip into a complex subject, attendees will be encouraged to do their own ongoing research.

Discovering Your Dominance
2023-10-27 11:00 - 2023-10-29 18:00 | KARA, Perleberger Straße 59, Berlin, 10559, Germany
Power and dominance can mean many things and be expressed in multiple ways. How can you find your personal path to having your wants, desires, and needs fore filled respecting your own boundaries and those of your play connection?
During this weekend intensive, each participant will be encouraged to take a personal journey to explore intention, responsibility, and desire, with the aim to find practical tools to play and embody your dominant self.
Using the depths of your commonly known archetypes and stereotypes you will be encouraged to delve into your inner characteristics to discover which of these energies can assist in enriching play dynamics, as well as, how these aspects can be accessed in everyday situations. Using the principles of boundary setting, role-play, physical movement, breathwork, and group exercises each of you will be invited to explore different aspects of yourself and how those aspects interact and interchange, to bring out the stronger, dominant, and commanding side of you.

Power, empowerment, and power hierarchies are a complex dance between people’s wants, desires, and needs. How can we play with power consensually and keep it intentionally fun? Whilst disentangled from the systemically oppressive influences of the globe.
Join Caritia for this play lab and discuss all things D/s, top and bottom, and how playing with power can open each of us up, honoring the agency, trust, and support we can gift ourselves and each other.
