Unpacking Kink

25. January 2025, 11:00 am – 3:00 pm

What is kink, actually? And why should you care about it?

Caritia invites participants down the rabbit hole of curiosity, breaking down the colonial histories of kink and BDSM to the changes you can actively make in the present day. Let’s lean into the uncomfortable legacy and the energetic euphoria that tapping into the body can produce. Join Caritia to dig a little deeper into the nuance of making kink a more intersectional and less oppressive form of practice for yourself and others.

In this workshop Caritia invites participants to take an intentionally curious path and exploratory view of kink from definitions to practical play.

BIPOC, others of the marginalized & global majority to the front.

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.
