There is a lot of talk about self-love, but what does it look like in its concrete manifestation(s)? To know thyself is to love thyself. If we take bell hooks’ understanding of love as a verb, then there are means and ways to find love in the everyday and mundane, as well as in the fascinating and fantastical.
Join Caritia for an evening of sparkle and wonder as we embark on a journey of self-discovery. Together, we’ll delve into the erotic, the aromantic and more, exploring love as both a poison and a passion. We’ll look within the conscious and collective unconscious, exploring what might be waiting for us in the depths.
Through discussion, hands-on exercises and time for reflection, we’ll explore what self-love might mean and how it can manifest in our everyday lives.
What to Expect
An evening of curiosity, introspection and playful exploration. Through guided discussion, hands-on exercises and personal reflection, we’ll investigate the many facets of self-love, including those that may feel unfamiliar, contradictory or difficult to name. Expect space to explore your own experiences, question familiar narratives and discover new ways of relating to yourself.
Who Is This For?
For anyone curious about what self-love means beyond the familiar slogans and feel-good phrases. Whether you’re beginning a journey of self-discovery, deepening your relationship with yourself or exploring the complexities of desire, identity and intimacy, this workshop offers space to reflect, question and discover at your own pace.

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.
