People have been using impact play, especially flogging for hundreds of years at this point. Flogging can be a tool for punishment, for ritual release, and for the pure joy of sensation. For Caritia it sits on multiple nuanced dimensions of touch, interaction, and interconnectedness.
You are invited to explore from the comfort of your own homes the layers of this play tool, to see what lies within for you. Whether your tool is shop-bought, DIY/self-made, or a gift from a special one, let’s dive into sensation and intention together.

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,
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.
