Non-monogamous Relating

21. August 2021, 11:00 am – 2:00 pm

Within our current times, we are so accustomed to the ways of separation and individualism from Western idealism that we have forgotten how to relate to one another. Or perhaps we are neglecting how to do so? If you stepped away from stereotypes and norms what other types and ways to relate, connect and find intimacy could await you?

In this collaborative and lively discussion & workshop, Caritia will focus on the different ways participants can get to know their own ways to relate, connect and share with those you wish to have in and orbiting around you. With the focus on what is nourishing for you, ways in which to establish boundaries for your desire and what communication tools could be supportive.

You can join this class alone or with your partner(s) (everybody needs a ticket). There will be 2 breaks of 15 minutes within this time.

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.
