You’ve read the books, joined the discussions, and explored ideas of power, consent, and leadership — now it’s time to bring that knowledge into your body.
This guided practice day is for those who already have a foundation in dominance and power dynamics and want to develop more hands-on experience in leading, directing, and holding space in play.
Facilitated by Caritia, this space welcomes LGBTQIA+ participants and their respectful friends and allies to learn and practice together in an atmosphere of curiosity, consent, and mutual respect. You’ll receive gentle guidance, practical prompts, and opportunities for reflection and feedback.
Participants must attend with a pre-arranged play partner.
Come prepared to explore your leadership and dominance in action — and to move from theory into embodied power.
Note: December 6th Delving into Dominance Playground is for LGBTQIA+ folks only
What we will do
- Introductions – Meet and greet ice breakers
- Discussion and intention setting – the what and whys of play
- Negotiation (incorporating intersectionality) – the how
- Playing intentionally — exploring desires, presence, and power.
- Coaching tips and tricks (optional)
- Open play space
- Feedback and closing circle
Participants are asked to come prepared and to dress (bring your outfits with you and change at the space) in a way that supports them in embodying their leadership selves. (Karada House is a no-shoe space, so do keep that in mind.)Â

More Information
Space is limited to seven dominants/tops.
Participants are asked to invite their own play co-hort/bottom/willing assistant. Or can request help to find someone. If you wish to have support in finding someone, write to Caritia – caritia@karada-house.de, with your ideas for the type of person you wish to play with, and clarity on how you would like your introduction to happen – email, exchange of numbers or in-person on the day.
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 describe 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 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 proactively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
