Winter Solstice will soon be upon us. How would you like to mark this turning point in the year?
Caritia invites participants into an intentional, ritual-based space for grounding, reflection, manifestation, and energy play. Together, we’ll explore how ritual can help us honour where we are, release what no longer serves us, and consciously invite in what we want to cultivate as we move into the next season.
Kink will be offered as a creative tool within this practice—not as an end in itself, but as a way of exploring desire, sensation, power, surrender, intention, and connection. We’ll use kink practices and playful experimentation to discover what supports our individual energy and helps us connect more deeply with ourselves.
This is a collaborative think tank and guided ritual space. There will be opportunities to reflect on what you want to leave behind, identify what you want to call towards you, and explore how kink, desire, embodiment, and ritual might support that process.
Rather than prescribing a particular ritual, we’ll create space for each participant to discover what feels meaningful and nourishing to them. You might work with sensation, symbolism, movement, intention-setting, pleasure, surrender, resistance, or other forms of embodied practice.
Come prepared to slow down, listen inward, and imagine what you want to carry with you into the returning light.
What we’ll explore
- Arriving & grounding — Connecting with ourselves, the season, and the space
- The turning point — Reflecting on what this moment in the year represents for us
- Desire & intention — Exploring what we want to release, nurture, invite, or manifest
- Kink as ritual — Using kink practices as tools for embodiment, exploration, and energetic expression
- Energy play — Discovering what shifts, supports, charges, or restores our energy
- Creating personal ritual — Bringing these elements together into practices that feel meaningful and sustainable
- Closing & integration — Taking time to acknowledge what we have discovered and what we want to carry forward
A space to honour the dark, welcome the returning light, and discover what your desires have to teach you.

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.
