SUMMARY:Tying Slowly: On the Joy of the Un-Arrival
DESCRIPTION:“Tying slowly is a really great way for you to have enough space to observe each other really\nwell.” –Hua Hua\, Shibari Study Series \n“Slow the fuck down.” –Georg Barkas\, numerous times at Karada House workshops \nLike exercising\, tying slowly (at the proper moment) is a piece of advice offered by many of our favorite rope instructors\, and its various benefits to rope practitioners have been well documented. It may facilitate observation\, communication\, continuous consent\, etc. \nTo explore tying slowly\, some questions emerge: How do we tie slowly? How slowly can we tie? What are the senses of “slow”? \nIn this workshop\, we will embark on a journey of slow tying. Through various exercises\, with or without rope\, we will practice different ways of tying slowly and explore different layers of touch. We will introduce practical means for participants to radically and confidently slow rope communication down\, and through this process\, expand the experience and uncover previously overlooked spaces of connection. Participants with any level of rope experience\, including none at all\, are invited to this joint exploration of the joy of the un-arrival. \nThe Content may be subject to change based on what emerges during the workshop. If possible\, tying along is recommended. \nGandalf will be facilitating this workshop together with Naraku\, with whom they have been slowly and joyfully tying for over a year. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  July 6th\, 2024\, 1 pm-3.30 pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: journey \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: none \nWhat to Bring: a piece of rope \nSolo or Partnered: all constellations welcome (everyone needs a ticket). \nClass recording: Yes. The recording will be made available after the live class for 14 days. \n\nWhat we will explore:\n \n– The journey of the hand\n– The joy of the un-arrival\n– The expected\, the delayed\, and the expansive rope\n– Different senses of slow\n– Very\, very simple movement exercises\n– Very\, very simple rope exercises \n  \nAccessibility Note \nThe workshop and discussion are held in spoken English with automated captions in English which are provided by Zoom. Communication within the class can be had via chat but also people can come on mic and speak. If you participate in this workshop and need more assistance\, i.e. someone reading out the chat\, etc\, please message us at info@karada-house.de beforehand.  \n  \nWho is this event for? \nLGBTQIA+ 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. \nFriends 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. \nWhen 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. \nFriends don’t have to be perfect. None of us are.

SUMMARY:A Web is a World: Web-Making Workshop
DESCRIPTION:  \nA web lives. It comes into being through processes of growth and is held together with frictions that send sympathetic vibrations throughout the whole web whenever it is touched. A web is a world\, and much like our world it is full of entanglements\, conflicts\, and stories. To weave a web thus is to make a world\, and live a life/lives in it. \nWeb-making is Gandalf’s favorite event in the rope world. It has taught them much about life\, respect\, surrender\, and meaning. In this workshop\, Gandalf will share an easy web-making process that they had developed through their journey in weaving. We will discuss how to add depth and weight to a web and how to imbue it with emotion and energy. Participants are free to deviate and create their own web-weaving processes. \n  \nFormat: hands-on workshop \nMinimum knowledge level: We will only use basic frictions (counter-tension\, munter-hitch). It is helpful to know them but having no experience is also ok. \nMaximum amount of participants: 25\, passive watching is welcome \nWhat to bring: Yarn / thin hemp ropes / or anything you would like to use for web weaving. The facilitator will demonstrate with 1-2mm diameter yarn or hemp rope. Bring something to weave on\, preferably something hollow\, such as a wood frame for a painting or hula-hoops\, be creative. QUEEROPE will have 15 frames of 30cm available and also have some yarn you can use. \nConstellations: all constellations welcome \nAccessibility: we will be sitting on the floor but other ways to sit more comfortably can be arranged

SUMMARY:Kinky Entanglements
DESCRIPTION:  \nThere are infinite possibilities in the constellation of kinks. Some of them are more well-known and even have conferences dedicated to it\, some are so unique that it is the one and only in the world. With a bit of discussion\, writing\, and poetry exercises\, this workshop is dedicated to the boundless variety of human sexualities. We will attempt to examine both the uniqueness and the universalities of kinks. In the end\, we will return to the question of “What is Shibari”? Please come with a pen. \n  \nFormat: discussion \nMinimum knowledge level: – \nMaximum amount of participants: No. Passive participation is allowed \nWhat to bring: a pen \nConstellations: all constellations welcome \nAccessibility: Participants are expected to write clearly in English. It is possible to ask a fellow participant for help if one finds it struggling.

SUMMARY:Learning Rope\, Teaching Rope
DESCRIPTION:How do our experiences in rope-learning influence how we tie? And as facilitators and instructors\, how do we decide how to teach and what to teach? Queering rope demands a queering of rope pedagogy\, and this event is dedicated to exploring different ways of teaching rope. \nAt this discussion panel\, various shibari instructors are joined together to share their experiences in rope learning and rope teaching. Participants are encouraged to bring their questions\, discoveries\, and frustrations with rope learning/teaching and together we will ponder on the ways forward. \nPanelists: Caritia\, Gandalf\, Andrea Rimon\, Barkas\, Pauline Massimo \n  \nDetails: \nFormat: discussion \nMinimum Knowledge Level: – \nWhat to Bring: – \nSolo or Partnered: any constellation \nClass recording: yes \nThis discussion will be recorded (only the facilitators\, not the participants)\, however\, we choose to leave some non-recorded space at the end where participants can discuss more intimate questions. The recording is available for ticket holders for 30 days after the event. \n

SUMMARY:Gandalf
DESCRIPTION:One of the most curious things about rope bondage is that it has grown in such a way that neither rope nor bondage is its most central aspect. \nAs we begin our journey into the world of knots\, frictions\, and tension controls\, it is worthwhile to pause and ask why we tie in the first place. In this workshop\, we will introduce a series of movement and rope exercises that explore a wide set of communicational resources in tying. Thematically\, they are an exploration into our relationships with each other. Technically\, they make use of some fundamental rope handling and tensioning skills. \nWe welcome absolute beginners to use this workshop as the beginning of their rope journey\, as well as experienced practitioners to come back to the basics and contemplate what brought us to tying in the first place. \n  \nDetails: \nFormat: hands-on workshop \nMinimum Knowledge Level: – \nWhat to Bring: yourself\, ropes\, safety tools \nSolo or Partnered: any constellation\,  we will mostly present partnered exercises\, but solo options will be provided as alternatives \nClass recording: yes \nThis class will be recorded (only the facilitator\, not the participants) and is available for ticket holders for 30 days after the event. \n
