SUMMARY:BIPOC Utopias – Kink & Intimacy
DESCRIPTION:This is a separatist space to discuss and lab about kink\, intimacy\, and virtual play space for black\, brown and Indigenous folks. \nFor quite some time\, Caritia has been musing on encouraging and inspiring more BIPOC into the realm of alternative lifestyles and ways of relating. There are many systemic barriers to this\, including patriarchy\, capitalism\, classism and racism. In an effort to change the narrative\, Caritia wishes to offer a monthly gathering of BIPOC to talk\, learn about a topic or practice and support one another through a community that is actively built together\, with the aspiration to gather in person once a year. \nCaritia’s intention is to create a guided\, active space for learning and coming together. This format has the potential to morph and change as the group sees fit. \nThis space is specifically for Afro-diaspora\, South American\, black\, brown\, Indigenous\, and marginalized individuals who are interested in kink and BDSM through the lens of intersectional nuances and transformative justice. This space may not fit for all marginalised demographics\, as it is impossible to cover such diversity in one space. \n  \nWhat we will do: \nJanuary – Introductions\, boundaries and basic frameworks \nFebruary – Consent\, communication and impact play \nMarch – Negotiations and Power dynamics \nApril – What’s new? Questions & Curiosity ask anything time. \nMay – Rope Rope Rope \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  January 5th\, 7-8.30pm CET \nFormat: lab (virtual) \nAudience:  BIPOC  \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: All levels welcome \nWhat to Bring:  \nSolo or Partnered:  all constellations welcome (each participant needs a ticket) \nClass recording: No \n  \nAccessibility Note \nThe workshop and discussion are held in spoken English with automated captions in English which are provided by Zoom.

SUMMARY:Exploring Alternative Relationship Styles
DESCRIPTION:We are so accustomed to the ways of separation and individualism that we have forgotten how and what it is to be in relationship to one another and our environment.

In this collaborative and lively lab\, Caritia will focus on the different ways participants can get to know their own ways of creating and being in relationships outside of the typical norms of monogamy and its inherent gender\, sexuality and power dynamics. \nTogether we will explore alternatives and focus on what is nourishing for you and find ways to establish boundaries for your desires\, and communication tools that could be supportive for your and your loved ones. \nYou can join this class alone or with your partner(s) (everybody needs a ticket). \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time: December 14th\, 2024\,  11 am – 5 pm \nFormat: workshop \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: – \nWhat to Bring: A pen\, paper\, questions\, and an open mind to listen\, share and connect \nSolo or Partnered:  all constellations welcome \nTicket: Price is per person \n  \nWhat we will teach/offer you \n– meditation\n– boundaries and negotiation\n– finding language and your communication style\n– Polyamory vs Non-Monogomy vs Relationship Anarchy?\n– relating utopia\n– intention vs expectation\n– Neurodivergence & relating dynamics\n– Feedback and close \n  \nAccessibility Note \nThe workshop is held in spoken English.

SUMMARY:Decolonizing Kink – Shifting Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Through her previous work in Karada House workshops\, Oya (@anthropokinkster) has demonstrated that the kink and BDSM practices are often viewed as power play and/or punishment within the context of a Western colonial society\, wheras they are understood as ritual and even growth practices from the Pan-African viewpoint\, empowering its communities & peoples. \nCaritia continues this line of thinking and invites participants to consider another pathway in the complexities of these self-exploratory\, bodily freedom and community care practices by exploring the multi-layered possibilities of what intentional BDSM and kink practice could look like. Acknowledging its colonial history (and supremacist male dominant gaze) and where it could go next in its evolution to support our needs and interpersonal growth personally as well as collectively. \nCaritia will guide participants in taking a deeper dive into their personal desires and ways to embrace play\, vulnerability\, and trust. Divesting and destigmatizing ourselves and our collectives from the hegemonic view of kink and seeking\, instead\, for the deeper potential for interconnection\, release\, and rest within is a multitude of possibilities. This interactive space is for beginners and those with experience to turn inward to their own joy and curiosity. We will also be poking at the ideas as to why collective engagement could be a key to deep care of self and others. \nThe principles for this session are that everyone attending\, in whichever capacity\, has something to contribute and that knowledge is for everyone—keep what fits and throw away what doesn’t. You are the captain of your ship. Participants are encouraged to come with questions and critiques\, acknowledging that nuance and multiple truths can exist simultaneously. \nThis is an actively anti-racist\, all-bodies-embracing\, disability-aware\, trans-inclusive virtual space. Caritia desires to hold an intentional space for learning and sharing ideas and knowledge. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  October 14th\, 2024\, 7-10 pm CET \nFormat: workshop & discussion (virtual) \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: All levels welcome \nWhat to Bring: – \nSolo or Partnered: all constellations are welcome\, everyone needs a ticket \nClass recording: Yes. Participants will not be recorded. The recording will be available for 14 days after the live class \n  \nWhat you will get in this workshop: \n• Perspectives Pass & Present \n• What I’m I into? And why? \n• Power vs Empowerment \n• Adult Play in Adult Space \n• Psychology of Kink \n• Trauma aware practice \n• Response and Responsibility \n  \nAccessibility Note \nThe workshop and discussion are held in spoken English with automated captions in English which are provided by Zoom. Communication within the class can be had via chat but also people can come on mic and speak.

SUMMARY:Kink and Neurodivergence
DESCRIPTION:  \nOur intimate connections can be a mixture of complex\, delightful messiness that each one can find a challenging prospect to walk through. Add to that the multiplicity of how each individual processes through your senses\, minds\, and emotions\, the potential for misunderstanding is vast. When intimacy\, touch\, and desire are added to that already heady mix is it any wonder that things become confusing. \nWhy is it vital to speak and share ideas about neurodivergence/ neurominority people within the context of kink and intimacy in general? How can more supportive paths be found to support the curiosity of intimacy and connection? \nIn this open discussion and lab\, Caritia aims to open up a personal and collective conversation about the topics of kink and neurodivergence\, inviting participants to actively dialogue and share their experiences around this complex topic. And in doing so explore ways in which the nuance and messiness can be brought to bear as part of a utopia of sharing space with each other. \nNote: This is an alive and ongoing process of learning\, it is not intended to be a ‘fits in a box’ idea or concept. \nWho is this for: \nThis workshop has been derived for a variety of folx: New folx to kink. Minimal experience folx. Highly experienced folx. Curious and interested in learning more about yourselves folx. People with neurodivergence and those without. Folx with partners/intimates/connections who are neuro & non-neuro who are interested in kink. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time: October 3rd\, 2024\, 7-9.30 pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: discussion & lab \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: N/A\n \nWhat to bring: Questions\, stories\, active suggestions\, compassion\, and an open heart \nEveryone must purchase a ticket no matter your constellation \nClass recording: Yes. The session will be recorded and available for 14 days after the workshop. The participants will not be recorded. \n  \nConcepts/offers for discussion\n \n– meditation/intro \n–  what is neurodivergence? broad-spectrum \n– what to consider? intersectionality\, boundaries\, negotiation\, and care \n– language(s)\, perspective(s)\, intention(s) \n– opening to differences and the space that needs \n– formats will include self-reflection\, small groups\, big group \n– gentle embodiment practice throughout the 2.5 hours (including a short break) \n– open freeform space for free association (if it proves to be supportive of the group) \n– Feedback and close \n  \nAccessibility Note \nThe workshop and discussion are held in spoken English with automated captions in English which are provided by Zoom. Communication within the class can be had via chat but also people can come on mic and speak.

DESCRIPTION:So little space is gifted to sadness and grief; frequently\, these emotions are bypassed and sidelined.

SUMMARY:Open Rope Training for Beginners: Elements of Connection and Communication
DESCRIPTION:This bi-weekly open training is designed for anyone who would like to learn about Japanese-inspired rope bondage/shibari/kinbaku whether you see yourself in the role of the person tying or being tied. \nOur open rope training for beginners is a continuous offer for anyone looking for a regular practice space to advance their skills. Each time we will offer a teaching on one particular topic. Depending on your skill level and how quickly you can pick up on things\, you can then either use the remaining open-space time to practice this one new skill in your own time or you can up the ante with the help of your teacher. You can also choose to train your own skills on another topic if you like and have a teacher give you feedback and help you improve. \n  \nTopic of the week: Elements of Connection and Communication \nConnection and communication in rope bondage isn’t rocket science\, but built on very concrete skills and concepts. Join this open training to learn about how to use rhythm\, proximity and intensity for impactful rope play. \n  \nTeacher of the week: Caritia \nCaritia’s style is an eclectic one\, blended as it is from 20+ years in kink and learning to tie (and getting tied) from a diverse range of Japanese and Northern European instructors. After twelve years on this path\, which has ebbed and flowed\, ‘I’m forever a curious student’. Focused on accessibility\, from pedagogy to diverse movement (stillness)\, specializing in the body\, floorwork\, partial suspensions\, and adaptive ties\, Caritia infuses (her) teachings with laughter as a key element of play.\n \n  \nYou can come alone or with a partner. You can tie yourself or your partner. Alternatively\, you can partner up with another participant. \nYou can but do not need to bring any ropes as we will provide workshop ropes for you. \nYou can also spontaneously come by on the day and purchase a ticket online right up to the beginning of the class if there is space left. \n  \nNote: \nThe class starts at 7 pm sharp. Please arrive 15 minutes earlier so we can process your ticket and welcome you. Once the class has started we do not allow entry. You cannot transfer your ticket to another week. If you are not sure you can come\, please purchase your ticket on the day as soon as you are absolutely sure you can make it. \nIf you know you will come to the open training more than just once\, please ask for our discount card!

SUMMARY:Open Rope Training for Beginners: Basic Structure and Modular Thinking
DESCRIPTION:This bi-weekly open training is designed for anyone who would like to learn about Japanese-inspired rope bondage/shibari/kinbaku whether you see yourself in the role of the person tying or being tied. \nOur open rope training for beginners is a continuous offer for anyone looking for a regular practice space to advance their skills. Each time we will offer a teaching on one particular topic. Depending on your skill level and how quickly you can pick up on things\, you can then either use the remaining open-space time to practice this one new skill in your own time or you can up the ante with the help of your teacher. You can also choose to train your own skills on another topic if you like and have a teacher give you feedback and help you improve. \n  \nTopic of the week: Basic Structure and Modular Thinking \nApproximately 90 % of rope bondage patterns are based on the same basic structures. Join this open training for an introduction to understanding the modules on which a lot of patterns are built. You will leave with a greater understanding of the “why” behind rope technique as well as the ability to more easily improvise well built patterns.. \n  \nTeacher of the week: Caritia \nCaritia’s style is an eclectic one\, blended as it is from 20+ years in kink and learning to tie (and getting tied) from a diverse range of Japanese and Northern European instructors. After twelve years on this path\, which has ebbed and flowed\, ‘I’m forever a curious student’. Focused on accessibility\, from pedagogy to diverse movement (stillness)\, specializing in the body\, floorwork\, partial suspensions\, and adaptive ties\, Caritia infuses (her) teachings with laughter as a key element of play.\n \n  \nYou can come alone or with a partner. You can tie yourself or your partner. Alternatively\, you can partner up with another participant. \nYou can but do not need to bring any ropes as we will provide workshop ropes for you. \nYou can also spontaneously come by on the day and purchase a ticket online right up to the beginning of the class if there is space left. \n  \nNote: \nThe class starts at 7 pm sharp.

This form of play is a complex web of thoughts\, ideas\, and desires that requires a delicate balance of boundaries and communicated needs to navigate what can be deliciously troubled waters. \nJoin Caritia for this open discussion on the topic\, covering the basics and answering your questions in this co-created space. \nFor starters\, we will dive into questions such as: What is CNC? Why would anyone wish to engage in this form of play? And how many different ways can it turn out? Where are the boundaries between consent and the desire to play with taboos? Feel free to bring your own ideas and questions to the (virtual) table \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  July 2nd\, 2024\, 7 pm – 10 pm \nFormat: Discussion \nMinimum Knowledge Level: – \nWhat to Bring: ideas\, questions\, partners\, ways to keep notes \nSolo or Partnered: any constellation works.

You have a genuine concern for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and remain in awareness of heterosexual and gender straight privileges. \nFriends don’t have to be perfect. None of us are.
