Power is such a slippery creature. Frequently we are unclear, not knowing where power begins and ends or who holds the ‘power’. How do we discern power from empowerment? What does it mean to be dominant over another human being? Let’s gather together to find answers to these questions and more.
Caritia will take participants through a process to support their journeys of discovering who their inner dominant is and what types of games they wish to play and with who 🙂 Encouraging playfulness coupled with self-discovery.
Caritia’s aim is to encourage participants to deconstruct their present thinking around power to allow themselves to reconstruct a sense of power within the self leaving space for each individual to define who they are now and within each moment, giving rise to playing with desires, wants and needs within respected boundaries, of all involved.

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.
