Breath is a core function of the human body, one that many of us take for granted.
In this hands-on playshop, participants are invited to experiment with the intentions of trust and control – solo or partnered, through the various techniques Caritia will share.
Carita’s aim is to offer participants foundational principles wrapped in safe(r), consensual and intentional boundary-setting practice for all constellations: the giver, receiver or solo play.
Caritia may include the following techniques: breath holding, ways to cover the nose and mouth – including the hands, gloves, cloth/scarves and bags.

Who is this event for?
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 describes 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 safe(r) 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 pro-actively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
If you cannot afford the ticket price (even the solidarity price), please send us a message. We will find a way.
