Power can be elusive—shifting, relational, and often misunderstood. Where does power begin and end? Who holds it, and how does it move between us? And how do we distinguish between power over and power within?
This workshop invites you into an open, exploratory space to question, unpack, and reimagine your relationship to power, dominance, and desire. Together, we’ll explore what it means to embody power consciously and consensually, and how play can become a pathway for self-discovery and connection.
Through guided reflection, discussion, and optional experiential exercises, Caritia supports participants in discovering their “inner dominant” (however that may look for you), while emphasizing choice, agency, and mutual respect.
This is not about fitting into predefined roles—it’s about expanding your understanding of what power can feel like in your body, your relationships, and your imagination.
What we’ll explore together:
- Different understandings of power: internal vs relational, structural vs personal
- The distinction between domination, control, and empowerment
- How beliefs, past experiences, and social conditioning shape your relationship to power
- What it might mean to step into (or resist) a dominant role in a conscious, intentional way
- The role of play, imagination, and desire in exploring power dynamics
- How to engage with power while honouring boundaries—your own and others’
