Do you know how you move? What is movement? Kink draws people in with its tools such as rope and cats of nine tails, our fascination for/of the sacred and the profane. But our bodies are vital in this exchange, whether self-practice or with others, so why do we overlook our full selves?
Caritia invites participants to this 2.5-hour workshop to explore the layers of movement from the multiple levels of the physical, psychological and emotional. To dive deeper into how movement affects our kink and rope play and how we may become more attuned and nuanced to and about our movements.

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, queer, intersex, asexual, aromantic, agender.
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 expressions 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.
