This is a space dedicated to everyone self-identifying as fat who's into shibari or other types of rope bondage. We will luxuriate, rant, do rope, and just generally engage in revolutionary action. Together, we’ll center fat joy, fat bodies, and fat experience in rope — without apology and without shrinking ourselves. This gathering prioritizes comfort,...
This Easter month, we’ll interrogate the Christian underpinnings of kink and BDSM aesthetics by turning towards the concept of “suffering.” We will read Emannuel Levinas’ essay “Useless Suffering” alongside discussions of seme in Japanese rope bondage. We’ll ask: what are the political implications of connecting beauty, meaning, and suffering? What would a tying, kink, or...
We will continue to discuss Arron Trammell's paper and now book 'Play, Trauma and the Black Experience', as it holds many nuances. This is a separatist space to discuss and lab about kink, intimacy, and virtual play space for black, brown and Indigenous folks. For quite some time, Caritia has been musing on encouraging and...
This is a separatist space to discuss and lab about kink, intimacy, and virtual play space for black, brown and Indigenous folks. For quite some time, Caritia has been musing on encouraging and inspiring more BIPOC into the realm of alternative lifestyles and ways of relating. There are many systemic barriers to this, including patriarchy,...
We are often taught that anger and fear are emotions to suppress. Too much. Too loud. Too inconvenient. We are encouraged to manage them, soften them, or hide them altogether. At the same time, anger and fear are frequently used as tools of control—shaping behaviour, enforcing obedience, and maintaining hierarchy. What if these emotions are...
In recognition of International Workers' Day, our May session will be about the concept of “work.” Pushing against cultural norms within BDSM and kink scenes that have historically been structured to distance BDSM and kink from sex work, we’ll inquire what it means to understand what we do within the context of work. Along the...
The world can often feel divided and exclusionary. What would it mean to turn that on its head? This workshop explores how we can actively include ourselves and others, while acknowledging the real need for both inclusive and separatist spaces. Together, we will examine the barriers that create exclusion—such as access, power dynamics, and social...
As Kink Space Facilitators, we experience a wide range of impressions in our work. We plan juicy offers, trauma and queer inclusive, and hold space for experiences, uncertainties, fuck ups, desires and much more. After planning and implementation comes reflection and evaluation. The ‘how was I’ as a professional and personally. Alexander Hahne, gay trans...
Things will go wrong in kink. Miscommunication, emotional overwhelm, consent slips, physical mishaps, or simply mismatched expectations — ruptures are a real risk in when working with intensity, vulnerability, and power exchange. This workshop focuses on what happens after the moment shit hits the fan. We’ll explore how to recognize rupture as it’s happening, how...
Consent is a hot topic in so many spaces, especially those concerning kink and sexuality exploration. How do we detangle what is a legal and medical framing of consent, as it is shaped now, to one that is based in nuance and care? This is the basis of this discussion and workshop with Caritia. Participants...
Very often when people as whether it's okay or advisable to play with trauma the answer is: don't. Better not touch it. You will re-traumatize yourself. Wait until you're "healed". But here's the thing: Most of us are already doing it. Whether we are aware of it or not. Fuck Your Trauma starts by acknowledging...
From accountability processes to convention presenter applications and all other sorts or organizational copy, “values alignment” has become an ever increasingly popular way to position kink institutions and personal practices. In our opening session for the season, we'll interrogate the fantasy of “values based community” and what it means to envision values as a place...
