Discovering Your Dominance

15. June 2024, 11:00 am – 4:00 pm

What is dominance and what is it to you? And what kinds of ideas and concepts about dominance fall away and make room for new ones if we stop looking at it from the usual normative binary?

What can you discover about yourself if you let go of these preconceived notions?

Caritia invites participants to this day-long workshop to explore and play together and discover your unique style of dominance. We will slowly dive into the topic, deconstruct the usual concepts in our heads, and (re)-create something exciting and new. Caritia will guide you from taking the initial steps into leading in play to finding your own style and will throw in a ton of gems, tips, and tricks on the way.

Come and be the delicious dom/me of your (and other people’s) dreams.

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.
