Ritual – an established or prescribed procedure of religious or other rite(s).
The rituals or rites of passage are as present now, as they were in the human collective history. Perhaps they are less obvious to you or have become actions of habit. It can often feel that everyday life is boring and nothing delightful or playful lives there. Is it possible to bring back pleasure into the mundane? And how can kink be framed to bring an additional element to your forms of play and shared pleasure space?
In this one day workshop, Caritia will support participants in finding practices, principles and structures to support themselves and play connections in the scenes they wish to co-create. To form intentional spaces for adventure and the exploration of shared pleasure(s).

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.
