Flogging as a Ritual

10. November 2024, 11:00 am – 3:00 pm

Flogging as a kink practice can be approached in many ways. One of the most powerful ones is flogging as a ritual of release and renewal.

In this session, Caritia invites you to join us for a flogging ritual. Together we will prepare the ritual, its intentions, and desires. We will hold space for each other and ultimately flog and get flogged together in an intentional, caring, and powerful collective way. We will hold one another to tip over our edges into territories of release honoring ourselves, our bodies, and this practice that is thousands of years old.

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.
