When facilitating adult groups on topics related to sexuality and kink, with a focus on practical experimentation and action, we often bring our whole selves to the table. Our experiences, our ability to regulate ourselves, our interest and passion for sexuality and kink topics. When the focus is on fun, experimentation and experience, we often have a curious and eager group in front of us. The adults in front of us also bring their entire history and embodied biography with them. The more they are part of a minority, the more minority stress and often bad experiences, discrimination and distrust they bring with them. When it comes to sexuality, we can assume that there is always at least one person in the group who has experienced sexualised violence. Many people have had experiences in their lives that have the potential to cause trauma. None of our various offerings are trauma therapy, but rather educational offerings.

Leader of workshops and individual counselling on the topics of body awareness, intimacy and sexuality.

More Information
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.
