SUMMARY:Consensual Non-Consent 101
DESCRIPTION:Consensual non-consent is a form of play that is based on a mutual agreement between play partners to act as if consent has been waived. This form of play is a complex web of thoughts\, ideas\, and desires which 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 with 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 you own ideas and questions to the (virtual) table \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  April 28th\, 2022\, 7 pm – 9.30 pm \nFormat: discussion \nMinimum Knowledge Level: – \nWhat to Bring: ideas\, questions\, partners\, ways to keep notes \nSolo or Partnered: any constellation\, works \nClass recording: yes. This class will be recorded (only the facilitator\, not the participants) and is available for ticket holders for 14 days after the event. \n  \nWhat we will teach: \n– establishing boundaries and boundary setting\n– understanding what CNC is and is not\n– who this is for?\n– intentions within CNC\n– support strategies\n– communication tools\n  \nWho is this event for? \nLGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity\, meaning: lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, pansexual\, transgender\, non-binary\, genderqueer/fluid\, \nFriends 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. \nWhen 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. \nFriends 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. \nWhat else to know? \nSolidarity tickets are reduced-price tickets for people who cannot afford the full price. If the soli price is still to high for you\, please message us at info@karada-house.de \n

SUMMARY:Playing with (and despite) Guilt & Shame
DESCRIPTION:How do shame and guilt manifest for you in your everyday life? What strategies can you embrace to address the heavy and serious topic of trauma? Can kink offer intentional containers with boundaries as support for releasing these energies that block and stifle our potential to relate in different and playful ways? \nCaritia invites participants to join this 3-hour workshop and discussion about identifying the differences between shame vs guilt. Speaking to the differences in how our minds\, bodies\, desire\, and sexuality are being stifled and ways in which offering space to experiment can contribute to finding release from these stuck emotions. \nCaritia will aim to walk participants through the maze of emotions and hold this collaborative container for participants to find their way(s) of letting go and playfully engaging in these complex dynamics. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  April 20th\, 2022\, 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 \nClass recording: yes.

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: April 6th\, 2021\, 7-9.30pm 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 \nAccessibility information: \n• Automated Zoom captions will be turned on.\n• The presentation will always have a minimum of 18pt font. \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 difference 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  \nWho is this event for? \nLGBTQIA+ 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. \nFriends 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. \nWhen 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.

SUMMARY:Taking Charge
DESCRIPTION:“Power tends to corrupt\, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.” – Lord Acton \nThis proverbial saying conveys the opinion that\, as a person’s power increases\, their moral sense diminishes. Is this a line that must always be followed? \nThe act of leading\, of being in charge\, or taking charge is so frequently presented by society in damaging ways. And yet there are stunning\, as well as beautiful examples to the contrary. Would a part of yourself find joy in being given space to lead? Offering yourself the pleasure of intentionally and respectfully taking\, speaking to what you desire? \nCaritia invites you to find out more about the power you hold\, the power you yield\, and to explore intentional ways in which each person within the dynamic can find their way to walk in a way that respects your own boundaries\, those of others\, and the excitement\, as well as intimacy leadership\, can hold. \nThe space offered is to learn more about your relationship with power\, leading\, leadership\, and active following. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  March 19th\, 2021\, 10 am – 1 pm \nFormat: workshop & exploration space \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & Friends \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: N/a \nWhat to Bring: Anything that would support your process and communication style \n \nSolo or Partnered:  partnered\n \nPrice: is per pair \n  \nWhat we will teach/offer you \n– meditation \n– what is power? what are the elements of power? \n– negotiation as a leader \n– leading vs dominance \n– creating boundaries within your space \n– communication in an intimate space \n– Feedback and close \n  \nSafety Concept & Regulation \nPlease consult our safety concept and regulations for this event here. \n  \nWho is this event for? \nLGBTQIA+ 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. \nFriends 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. \nWhen 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.

SUMMARY:Pointy & Spikey – Needles 101
DESCRIPTION:When we were young\, we were frequently instructed not to play with sharp things. But now\, as adults\, we get to play around.  There is a lot of fun to be had from exploring what our body’s capacity is. It may also be an opportunity to release and let go of things no longer needed or feared. \nCaritia will take participants through the steps to exploring their own body or the body of another person in a thoughtful\, safe(r)\, and practical way when exploring and playing with needles. This workshop will include actual practice (for you to watch or follow along)\, as well as a discussion and Q & A. The aim of this workshop and discussion is to inform participants about how to create a safe(r) environment to play with this edge practice of needles from an informed perspective. \nNOTE: The needle in the event picture is NOT the kind of needle to use. We chose this picture as there are lots of people with needle phobia and this particular pic in non-triggering. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  March 16th\, 2022\, 7 pm-10 pm \nFormat: workshop \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & Friends \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: N/a \nWhat to Bring: questions\, a way to make notes\, \nFor anyone who wishes to actually do the practice you are advised to purchase \n-hypodermic needles 26\, 27\, or 28 gauge (example of what is written in the description Gr. 20 27G x 3/4″ – 0.40 x 20 cm. 20 cm) For Germany: www.praxisdienst.com or other medical supplier in your requestive country. \n-A small table\, \n-a jar or sharps bin\, \n-band-aids\, \n-skin disinfectant spray and/or wipes\, \n-tissues\, \n-a rubbish bin\, \n-gloves – latex or non-latex any color. \nSolo or Partnered:  both work (everybody needs to buy a ticket) \nRecording: no. \n  \nWhat we teach: \n-body anatomy & chemistry\, \n-needle anatomy\, \n-clean space\, \n-intention\, \n-health\, hygiene & safety\, \n-care \n  \nWho is this event for? \nLGBTQIA+ 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. \nFriends 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. \nWhen 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.

SUMMARY:Yes\, please / No Thanks – Giving Consent\, Holding Boundaries
DESCRIPTION:Let’s be playful with consent 🙂 \nThe 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? \nCaritia will guide and support participants in solo\, paired and group exercises to get to grips with what consent means to you\, how it can be applied in everyday situations\, and the mindsets that can open you up to more playful interactions with others. Let’s dive in\, get messy and acknowledge the dimensions. \nThe aim of the workshop is to get to know yourself and your boundaries more deeply. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  March 12th\, 2022\, 12 pm-3 pm \nFormat: workshop \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & Friends \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: N/a \nWhat to Bring: paper\, pen\, questions and stories \nSolo or Partnered:  both work (everybody needs to buy a ticket) \nRecording: no. \n  \nWhat we will teach: \n-Layers of consent\, \n-nuances of play\, \n-communication tools\, \n-intersectionality\, \n-relating to others \n  \nWho is this event for? \nLGBTQIA+ 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. \nFriends 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. \nWhen 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.

SUMMARY:Power Exchange
DESCRIPTION:Power is such a slippery creature. Frequently we are unclear\, not knowing where power begins and ends or who holds the ‘power’. How do we discern power from empowerment? What does it mean to be dominant over another human being? Let’s gather together to find answers to these questions and more. \nCaritia will take participants through a process to support their journeys of discovering who their inner dominant is and what types of games they wish to play and with who 🙂 Encouraging playfulness coupled with self-discovery. \nCaritia’s aim is to encourage participants to deconstruct their present thinking around power to allow themselves to reconstruct a sense of power within the self leaving space for each individual to define who they are now and within each moment\, giving rise to playing with desires\, wants and needs within respected boundaries\, of all involved. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  Sunday\, February 13\, 2022\, 11 am – 6 pm (1-hour lunch break in between) \nFormat: workshop \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: none \nWhat to Bring: An item or outfit that you feel confident/powerful with/in\, curiosity to exchange with others\, pen\, paper and anything else that would support you in exploring power dynamics\n \nSolo or Partnered:  solo or partnered (each participant must purchase a ticket)\n \n  \n  \nWhat we will teach you \n– intersectionality and its relationship to power \n– boundaries – how to establish them and respect those of others \n– a structure of a scene \n– finding your powerful & empowered intention \n– care and communication \n– what Is dominance \n– group & individual play \n– Feedback & close \n  \n  \nSafety Concept & Regulation \nPlease consult our safety concept and regulations for this event here. \n  \nWho is this event for? \nLGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity\, meaning: lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, pansexual\, transgender\, non-binary\, genderqueer/fluid\, \nFriends 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. \nWhen 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.

SUMMARY:Switching 101

What would it be to navigate those multi-dimensional spaces with guidance? Let’s find out! \nCaritia invites you to find out more about your inner and outer switches\, how they long to play and be played with.

SUMMARY:Kink and Neurodivergence
DESCRIPTION:Our 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. \nEvent Details \nDate & Time: February 8th\, 2021\, 7-9pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: discussion & lab \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: N/A\n \n  \nConcepts/offers for discussion\n \n– meditation/intro \n–  what is neurodivergency? broad-spectrum \n– what to consider? intersectionality\, boundaries\, negotiation and care \n– language(s)\, perspective(s)\, intention(s) \n– opening to difference and the space that needs \n– formats will include self-reflection\, small groups\, big group \n– gentle embodiment practice throughout the 3 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  \nWhat to bring: Questions\, stories\, active suggestions\, compassion and an open heart \nEveryone must purchase a ticket no matter your constellation \nAccessibility information: \n• Automated Zoom captions will be turned on.\n• The presentation will always have a minimum of 18pt font. \nClass recording: Yes. The session will be recorded and available for 14 days after the workshop. The participants will not be recorded. \n  \nAbout Caritia: lives in a queer\, gender-fluid\, BiPoC (assigned female at birth) body. Walks a path with invisible disabilities and the living challenges which accompany that life. Educator\, creative and ongoing work in process\, whose advocacy for establishing boundaries is as strong as the desire to love with truth and honesty.

SUMMARY:Kink & Race
DESCRIPTION:  \nOur BDSM scenes and subcultures are embedded in our society and societal norms\, in what we know\, in what we want to transform. Kinky people do not exist in a bubble in which power relationships no longer matter just because we negotiate certain dynamics in our play relationships or are “nice” to each other at play parties. \nIn other words: We bring ourselves with us\, all our experiences and assumptions when we participate in BDSM. We are not automatically of integrity or really empathetic because we like “cool”\, deviating sex techniques or because the label “queer” fits us. \nThis workshop is for folks of the global majority and those who identify within the BPoC spectrum and is about creating an atmosphere of exchange that is as free as possible of (self) accusations and harshness. It’s about gently approaching a violent issue\, the racist system\, in which we are deeply entangled and in which we participate every day. In order to regain our individual\, as well as collective dignity\, and to establish new forms of engaging with the world and systems that we inhabit. Let’s not allow ourselves to be caught up in the performative acts and actions\, as well as acknowledge that we as BPoC folks can not change everything. Acknowledging that “Faster\, higher\, further\, performance\, immediately” is counterproductive. Let’s face ambivalences. Pausing to allow complexity to arrive in our body. Polarity is not our true reality. \nOften shame stands in the way. Shame paralyzes\, triggers the impulse to flee\, wants to hide. That is why in our workshop we will devote ourselves to shame\, taking time for it\, in the hope not only of appreciating it but also of being able to leave it behind us again and again. In the hope of being able to be a little more part of the change that is so urgently needed.\nIn addition to simple body and breathing exercises and meditation that can take place lying down\, sitting\, or standing\, we approach the topic of shame through telling stories\, exchanging ideas in small groups\, and role play. The focus is on how perceiving our own bodies\, and furthermore our nervous system and in this way making new experiences that\, in the best case\, helping to overcome shame and to get out of the rigidity into motion. \nThis workshop is open to the full spectrum of BPoC & PoC folks who are seeking intentional space to share\, relate and express on the topic of shame and the challenges faced by the systems that oppress those whom the system was not built for and as it relates to BDSM and kink in your life. \nOn the same weekend\, there will be a workshop by Emma Steel for *white people\, which is also dedicated to the topic of racism and shame. \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  January 30th\, 2022\, 12pm-6pm \nFormat: workshop \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & Womên\, BPoC & PoC\, only \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: N/a \nWhat to Bring: yourself\, curiosity\, comfortable clothes\, snack food\, blanket \nSolo or Partnered:  both work (everybody needs to buy a ticket) \nNote: No one will be turned away for lack of funds\, write to us with your offers and contributions. \n  \nSafety Concept & Regulation \nPlease consult our safety concept and regulations for this event here. \n  \nWho is this event for? \nLGBTQIA+ 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. \nFriends 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. \nWhen 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.

SUMMARY:Ground & Orientate Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Who are you at this very moment? Where are you looking to go next on your journey of self? \nHow would it be for you to have time and space to consider these questions and receive\, inspiration and supportive reflections from others? There are many struggles in these present times\, let’s allow ourselves the time and space to reset\, recuperate and collaborate together. \nWithin this 2-day ritually held time\, Caritia offers participants loosely structured and co-created held space to be\, rather than to do. And hopes to offer playful exchanges between those who are gathered to soften\, to allow for what wishes to be brought up to have space to do so. \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  January 8th 11 am – 6 pm\, 9th 11am – 5pm\, 2022 \nFormat: workshop & exploration space \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & Friends \nLanguage: English \nMinimum Knowledge Level: N/a \nWhat to Bring: Anything that would support your process and communication style \n \nSolo or Partnered:  All constellations welcome (everybody needs to buy a ticket) Participants who join alone will be invited to pair with other solo participants.\n \n  \nWhat we will teach/offer you \n– meditation \n– creating boundaries within your space \n– arrive and empty – exercises of release and letting go \n– utopia to stepping stones – diving into what you need \n– shared body-based practices \n– expressions of manifestation \n– silent space \n– Feedback and close \nAbout Caritia: lives in a queer\, gender-fluid\, BiPoC (perceived as feminine) body. Walks a path with invisible disabilities and the living challenges which accompany that life. Educator\, creative and ongoing work in process\, whose advocacy for establishing boundaries is as strong as the desire to love with truth and honesty.

All surfaces are disinfected and will be disinfected in between use. \nSpace is limited to give more space for everyone. \nWe frequently air the space and also use fans for more circulation. \nYou must wear a mask at all times. \n  \nWho is this event for? \nLGBTQIA+ 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. \nFriends 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. \nWhen 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.
