Event Details

Our intimate connections can be a mixture of complex, delightful messiness that each one can find a challenging prospect to walk through. Add to that the multiplicity of how each individual processes through your senses, minds and emotions, the potential for misunderstanding is vast. When intimacy, touch and desire are added to that already heady mix is it any wonder that things become confusing.

Why is it vital to speak and share ideas about neurodivergence/ neurominority people within the context of kink and intimacy in general? How can more supportive paths be found to support the curiosity of intimacy and connection?

In this open discussion and lab, Caritia aims to open up a personal and collective conversation about the topics of kink and neurodivergence, inviting participants to actively dialogue and share their experiences around this complex topic. And in doing so explore ways in which the nuance and messiness can be brought to bear as part of a utopia of sharing space with each other.

Note: This is an alive and ongoing process of learning, it is not intended to be a ‘fits in a box’ idea or concept.

Who is this for:

This workshop has been derived for a variety of folx: New folx to kink. Minimal experience folx. Highly experienced folx. Curious and interested in learning more about yourselves folx. People with neurodivergence and those without. Folx with partners/intimates/connections who are neuro & non-neuro who are interested in kink.
