Power is such a seductive energy, one that we can struggle to come to terms with. When diving a layer deeper into what it is to be led and truly follow, from a conscious and present risk-taking perspective, a world of possibilities is revealed. TPE is about the extreme end of power play.
Caritia invites participants on a journey towards the types of total power exchange dynamics that would suit each person and honor the potential of power within each role to find the pleasure, desire, and an opening of self within such a play.

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,
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.
