We are so accustomed to the ways of separation and individualism that we have forgotten how and what it is to be in relationship to one another and our environment. Or perhaps we are neglecting how to do so deeming it only relevant when loneliness and the feeling of disconnect enter our lives?
Let’s take a moment to step away from stereotypes and norms of relationships and see what other models exist to relate, connect and find intimacy in our lives. In this collaborative and lively lab, Caritia will focus on the different ways participants can get to know their own ways of creating and being in relationships outside of the typical norms of monogamy and its inherent gender, sexuality and power dynamics.
Together we will explore alternatives and focus on what is nourishing for you and find ways to establish boundaries for your desires, and communication tools that could be supportive for your and your loved ones.
You can join this class alone or with your partner(s) (everybody needs a ticket).

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.
