In our present society, we underestimate the value of touch. There has been a deep separation in the past months. How can each of us return to a place of touch and what that means for us?
This workshop is designed to bring participants back into connection with their body autonomy, body boundaries with themselves and with others and offer a slow path back to understanding what touch offers you. Caritia will guide participants to find their relation to different layers of touch and sensation.
You can join this class alone or with your partner (everybody needs a ticket).

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 acknowledgment 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.
