Tickets
This workshop is designed to help participants gain a clearer understanding of where they fall on the risk spectrum, and how they can use harm and pleasure management strategies to minimize unwanted risks.
Our approach is hands-on and interactive: participants will engage with reflection questions, practical exercises, and group discussions. We’ll create a supportive space for everyone to share their experiences and insights. Additionally, we’ll provide take-home materials so the process can be revisited at your own pace, as often as needed.
What we will discuss
Part I (September 18th, 2025, 7-9pm CET Berlin time)
- An introduction to harm, risk, and pleasure from multiple perspectives
- A look at the history of harm reduction and its relevance to kink
- The politics of harm and risk
- Exploring risk aversion, risk seeking, and risk acceptance
- Guided questions to examine our personal relationships with harm, risk, pleasure, and loss
- Understanding self-consent: its importance and how to cultivate accountability
Part II (September 25th, 2025, 7-9pm CET Berlin time)
- Introduction to risk profiles: what they are and why they’re useful
- A step-by-step guide to creating your own risk profile
- Exploratory questions to connect with how risk feels in the body and mind
- Exercises to help map your personal risk profile
- Group discussion and experience sharing

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.
