Karada House

The Theory of Connecting
2023-12-07 19:00 - 21:30 (Europe/Berlin)
Building a connected and impactful BDSM session might sometimes feel like alchemy and mystic telepathic powers. It’s not. It is actually built on very concrete techniques that you can learn, practice, and become good at.
This workshop explores how to create connection and intensity in kink play. Ceci will talk about bodies, connective techniques, and narratives to give you tools to create more satisfying play sessions. The goal is to make connection feel easier and less like telepathy.
Themes can include:
• Body-mind connection: Body positions, relationships between bodies, and the influence of bodies on minds
• Deep dive into technical elements of building connection: intention, rhythm, time, and proximity
• Themes, narratives, and roles as ways for all participants to have agency in play
The workshop includes:
• Lecture content
• Writing and conversation-based exercises

The FAT Lab & Jam
2023-11-07 19:00 - 22:00 | KARA, Perleberger Straße 59, Berlin, 10559, Germany
Are you tired of feeling like your body doesn’t fit the narrow imagery of bondage? So are we. This is a rope jam for people who dress in sizes 44 and up.
Because we want a space that celebrates the fact that not only can all of us tie and be tied, but we look gorgeous doing it. And because we want a space where we can help each other and share knowledge specifically about tying fat bodies. In an environment where we are not the exception but the norm.
Ceci Ferox is available during the jam to help and give ideas. They have experience and knowledge in tying fat and heavy bodies both from inside and outside the ropes.
If you can buy clothes in normal clothes stores, please make sure to give extra space for the experiences and voices of those with bigger bodies than yours.
Who is welcome?
People who dress in sizes 44 or larger because smaller sizes do not fit their bodies. Yes, you can bring your smaller rope partner with you. No, you can not come alone if you dress in sizes that are smaller than 44 or only dress in those sizes because you like “baggy” clothes.
Please contact us if you have any questions or needs about accessibility!

The FAT Lab & Jam
2023-09-05 19:00 - 22:00 | KARA, Perleberger Straße 59, Berlin, 10559, Germany
Are you tired of feeling like your body doesn’t fit the narrow imagery of bondage? So are we. This is a rope jam for people who dress in sizes 44 and up.
Because we want a space that celebrates the fact that not only can all of us tie and be tied, but we look gorgeous doing it. And because we want a space where we can help each other and share knowledge specifically about tying fat bodies. In an environment where we are not the exception but the norm.
Ceci Ferox is available during the jam to help and give ideas. They have experience and knowledge in tying fat and heavy bodies both from inside and outside the ropes.
If you can buy clothes in normal clothes stores, please make sure to give extra space for the experiences and voices of those with bigger bodies than yours.
Who is welcome?
People who dress in sizes 44 or larger because smaller sizes do not fit their bodies. Yes, you can bring your smaller rope partner with you. No, you can not come alone if you dress in sizes that are smaller than 44 or only dress in those sizes because you like “baggy” clothes.
Please contact us if you have any questions or needs about accessibility!

Fix Your Fighting – Dealing with Conflict in Relationships
2023-07-14 19:00 - 22:00 | KARA, Perleberger Straße 59, Berlin, 10559, Germany

The FAT Lab & Jam
2023-07-11 19:00 - 22:00 | KARA, Perleberger Straße 59, Berlin, 10559, Germany
Are you tired of feeling like your body doesn’t fit the narrow imagery of bondage? So are we. This is a rope jam for people who dress in sizes 44 and up.
Because we want a space that celebrates the fact that not only can all of us tie and be tied, but we look gorgeous doing it. And because we want a space where we can help each other and share knowledge specifically about tying fat bodies. In an environment where we are not the exception but the norm.
Ceci Ferox is available during the jam to help and give ideas. They have experience and knowledge in tying fat and heavy bodies both from inside and outside the ropes.
If you can buy clothes in normal clothes stores, please make sure to give extra space for the experiences and voices of those with bigger bodies than yours.
Who is welcome?
People who dress in sizes 44 or larger because smaller sizes do not fit their bodies. Yes, you can bring your smaller rope partner with you. No, you can not come alone if you dress in sizes that are smaller than 44 or only dress in those sizes because you like “baggy” clothes.
Please contact us if you have any questions or needs about accessibility!
