Caritia
Caritia is a Berlin-based kink activist, shibari educator, and co-founder of Karada House and OhYesPlease.org. Caritia’s fascination with the root/the body stems from a longing to deeply ‘listen’ to the body holistically, from the inside out. Self-identifying and living in a queer, gender non-conforming, BiPoC (afab) body, connecting with the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, as a sex worker and dominant, thriving with dyslexia, whose art, education and consulting pursuits stem from a desire to advocate and support others to explore intentionally and intersectionally the boundaries around their bodies, sexuality and self-expression, using the key practices and language of kink alongside the 20+ years of lived personal & professional experiences. Caritia is a forever student of nuanced layers of being human.

Sharing space is something that can be fun, challenging, complex, and messy, no matter the dynamics.

Are there cross-over...

Dominance and submission have been bedfellows for centuries. Power play is all around us, and often we are confused by it. Playing with consensual power and power hierarchies is liberating and, when done well, freeing and empowering for all involved. Caritia sees D/s as a joyful practice of exploring desires, wants, and needs through...
Let's be playful with consent :) The general idea of consent and boundaries is often portrayed to be as simple as offering someone a cup of tea. However, in reality, it is much more nuanced and complicated, especially when taking our intersectionalities, different contexts, and power structures into consideration. And then what? Caritia will...

For some it's the chocolate deva, a divine goddess that visits you and opens your heart and allows your walls to gently get lowered, allowing feelings to emerge. For others, it's the theobromine that pure cacao contains which gently changes the way you feel and...
Let’s play with the power narrative and create new stories of empowerment. Caritia has always been drawn to the notions of power (or the lack thereof) and how this plays out within our everyday interactions. Power, empowerment, and power hierarchies are a complex dance between people’s wants, desires, and needs. How can we play with...
Take a deep big breath, unclench your jaw, and loosen your shoulders. Yes, this life is a huge challenge, so much fun but also overwhelming at times. But you made it this far!

Each human has unique and complex needs that it is unrealistic to expect only one person to fulfill. How does one gather energy, capacity, and awareness of what is vital to one's own well-being? Caritia will guide participants to seek answers from within and call on the supportive guides that are all around us if...

In this discussion and lab, Caritia invites participants to deconstruct what relating is to them and ways in which to create dynamics that...
