Gong Ritual

15. February 2024, 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Caritia will offer participants an intentional space to release and relax. Each person will be asked to bring 3 topics they wish to release. Caritia will gently guide participants in the process and then play the gongs.

Participants can bring 3 objects that represent what they wish to release or simply write or draw it on paper. Then they choose a method by which the release action will take place – fire, water, earth, or air. (this may also help you to choose your object).

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.
