Dominance and submission have been bedfellows for centuries. Power play is all around us, and often we are confused by it.
Playing with consensual power and power hierarchies is liberating and, when done well, freeing and empowering for all involved. Caritia sees D/s as a joyful practice of exploring desires, wants, and needs through shared trust, surrender, and communication.
Join Caritia to discover your D/s style and keys to unlock all the playful power dynamics that live within you by getting to know yourself better and decolonizing your view and vision of these seemingly polarised perspectives to drop into the nuance and claim our rite/right to have some serious fun.

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-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.
