How do guilt and shame show up in your everyday life—and how do they shape the way you relate to yourself, your body, and others?
This workshop invites you into a guided exploration of these often heavy emotional states, with space for curiosity, reflection, and play. Together, we’ll look at how guilt and shame operate differently, how they can become “stuck” in the body and psyche, and how intentional exploration from a kink perspective has the potential to offer new pathways for release, expression, and connection.
Rather than treating these emotions as problems to fix, this session approaches them as signals to engage with—gently, creatively, and with care.
Caritia facilitates a collaborative and supportive container where participants are invited (but never pressured) to explore their own experiences, boundaries, and possibilities for transformation.
We will offer/teach:
- A clearer understanding of the difference between guilt and shame, and how each manifests mentally, emotionally, and physically
- Reflect on how these emotions influence your relationships, desires, and sense of self
- Learn grounding and awareness practices to stay present with difficult emotional states
- Be introduced to kink perspectives offering structure, and harm-reducing principles, as “containers” for exploring and releasing intense emotions
- Experiment (at your own pace) with reframing shame and guilt through curiosity, play, and embodied awareness
- Connect with others in a facilitated space that prioritises boundaries, communication and mutual respect

More Information
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 describe 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 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 proactively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
After your successful ticket purchase, you will be sent an email with the Zoom login data for this event. If you do not receive it, message us with your order number so we can send it again. Some email services "disappear" our messages so please check if you received our login data email.
If this session includes a recording you can obtain it by simply purchasing a ticket. You will automatically get access to the live class and the recording as they come in a package. The recording login data will be sent out 24–48h after the live event and will be available for (at least) 14 days after the live event. Please note these classes are places for experience, not for instruction. Nothing here is tested or graded — only perceived, felt, and shared. All offerings are invitations to reflect — no curriculum, no exam, no training. Recordings exist solely to support personal integration and are available only for a limited time.
Yes, because you are paying for the knowledge our facilitators distribute, not for the access to Zoom itself. We kindly ask you to respect that and pay accordingly.
