Dear Wonderers,

Caritia invites you to Japanese style rope bondage, it's a joy and thrill to be your point of entry.

This 3-hour workshop is designed for anyone who would like to learn about Japanese-inspired rope bondage/shibari/kinbaku whether your desire is to tie or be tied. Caritia (and the Karada House Team), firmly believe that everyone, even if you wish is to be tied, needs to know the absolute basics of this craft.

I will facilitate/offer

• I will show you the fundamental principles of shibari and first techniques you can immediately use

• I share about where shibari stems from, give you pointers on anatomy, psychology and harm-reduction

• We talk about why people love to tie/get tied and what happens if you tie/get tied?

• We will tie ourselves, other people (if you and they want to) and actually take time to try stuff out and play, play, play

• What's included: 3 x frictions, the anatomy of the rope, structure, tension & counter-tension, knot vs friction, nerve anatomy and why it matters, and care tips & tricks

This class is suited for

• all kinds of bodies (abled and non-abled), all gender expressions, all kinds of sexualities (including people on the ace-spectrum), all kind of brains (neurospicy or neurotypical, affected by trauma, etc.)

• people coming solo or bringing a partner (or group), people who only want to tie their own bodies as well as people who want to tie/get tied by others

Please arrive on time! Please also take a Covid test beforehand and stay at home if you are experiencing even mild symptoms.

About the facilitator:
Caritia has 25 years of personal and professional know-how in the divergent (from the now) lifestyles, space holding, empowerment and body-based practices. These offerings are trauma-aware, intersectional, neuro-spicy-aware, harm-reductionist and multidisciplinary perspective (with the understanding that consent is an active and voluntary process). Within all of these spaces, Caritia leads with your why (intention setting) and your utopic hope for doing this collaborative work together. Caritia's experience with Japanese-inspired rope, also known as Shibari or Kinbaku, began in 2008, became much deeper in 2011, and added another layer of depth to the already held practices and principles. The fascination with this style of rope is not soley in the aesthetic, it's in its simplicity and scope of possibilities.
