With all that has gone on in the world, the question that frequently arises is how do I get back into connection with others?
Caritia invites you to explore the depths of your body, sensations, and what it means for you to create/co-create fun safe(r) spaces to play in with others. Diving into what your languages of desire look, sound, and feel like, both with and/or without tools.
In this workshop, we will experiment with sensations play and pain play to release energy and emotions, connect to ourselves and one another, and also use these tools to fulfill our desires and have fun. You can come solo or with your partner(s), no matter if you are new to this type of play or want to come back into the practice.

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 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.
