Delving into Dominance aims to offer a view into the aspects of power and empowerment, from a decolonial perspective and framework. Allowing for intentional creation/co-creation of spaces that place pleasure, curiosity and intention at the forefront of your personal desires.
In this 5-part series, Caritia will guide participants through the various aspects of dominance and leadership from an intersectional, trauma-aware and intersectional lens. Through discussions, exercises and prompts for reflection, propagated with why questions (for the enquiring mind). This series will take place Friday October 16th -18th.
Note: If you are only interested in aspects of this series you can buy an individual ticket from the description below or from the separate event via our website.
October 16th, 2026 Part 1: Map of Me, is a journey of identity and self-discovery, approached through an intersectional, nuanced and informed critique-based lens. Together, we will explore the different parts of ourselves that seek expression and uncover what might be holding them back or motivating them to come forward.
October 17th, 2026 Part 2: Boundaries & Negotiation, we will break down the key elements and practical steps for creating and maintaining a shared space where you and your partner(s) can explore together while holding each other accountable. Care, health, safety, and communication styles are essential pieces of the play puzzle. Whilst then co-creating protocols that support each person’s empowerment path.
October 17th, 2026 Part 3: Styles of Leadership, is about discovering and exploring how you want to dominate and/or lead in a play or erotic context. Together, we’ll identify personal areas of interest and uncover the joy within different leadership styles. Do you already have the skills, or do they need to be developed? How can you acquire them? Let’s experiment and find out together.
October 18th, 2026 Part 4: Archetypes & Inspiration is designed to bring more depth and nuance to your “Style of Leadership”, helping you gain clarity on the path(s) you want to explore. This session will guide you in shaping characters and expressions of your dominant self, allowing you to refine and embody your unique leadership style.
October 18th, 2026 Part 5: Discovering Your Dominance, is the culmination of your journey, bringing together all the pieces you’ve explored. What are your next steps? What does your ideal vision for play and sessions look like? Let’s embrace what dominance means to you and celebrate the many ways it can unfold.
Caritia: I believe it would be supportive for participants to examine their ideas and narratives about power: what it is. Who holds it? And what hopes, wishes and desires they are seeking to explore through dominant play.
My approach to the topic of dominance must first sit with the person seeking to be dominant and their intentions.
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.
Womên describes people who are identifying themselves as female in their gender identity. People that fit this category can be part of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum or not. We created this category specifically to indicate that we also invite cisgender, heterosexual womên.
The word is our own creation and serves as a replacement for the word "womxn" which is now being (ab)used for transmisogynist statements. The ^ in womên represents a marker (similar to the "x" in womxn) that wishes to give emphasis to the fact that womênhood is an intersectional umbrella term that holds many different people and experiences and is not biologically predetermined.
