BDSM 101

Have you been curious about exploring other ways of exploring and expressing your sexuality and/or desires? Have you always wanted to be more playful in your relating dynamics, yet felt too uncomfortable to share, and now you are frustrated or stuck? Then this is the workshop for you.
Join Caritia in taking your first or even renewed steps into kink and BDSM. What is BDSM? Why are there so many rules? Am I really kinky?

Caritia’s aim with this workshop is to offer a playful, shame-free space to discover the permissions and powers you can give yourself and share with play partners and intimates.

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 acknowledgment 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.
