Languages of Love

12. July 2024, 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm

During this interactive workshop and discussion, Caritia poses a question that has been on (their) mind for a while, “How is love expressed?”

And can a path to decolonizing kink practice be loving? Participants are not just invited but encouraged to explore ways their expressions show up to friends, intimates, and others.

Caritia will encourage participants to come to share thoughts, ideas, and questions from an intersectional lens, to note privileges, and root out self-oppressive narratives around your forms of expression and with a focus on adult play.

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.
