Impact play is a wide spectrum of play types and flogging is one. It’s a practice the goes way back as a ritual, a sexual practice and punishment. An example of it can be seen in the Italian Etruscan tomb – Tomb of Whipping. There are many examples across continents and cultures.
Participants are invited to intentionally explore flogging as a forms of experimentation and play, to connect to forms of non-verbal communication within a held space framework. With curiosity towards finding and creating a shared energy that is empowering, playful and leans into discomfort. Giving space to new ground for forms of body knowledge and understanding, of your style play and flavours of sensation.
In this light-hearted, beginner friendly and guided space, Caritia (no pronouns) will support participants in finding tools, positions and nuanced ways of giving sensation to your play connection.

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.
