Time to upgrade some of the most important kink and life skills! 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 considering our intersectionalities, different contexts, and power structures. And then...
Our BDSM scenes and subcultures are embedded in our society and societal norms, in what we know, and 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...

When intimacy, touch, and desire are added to that already...

How do you embrace intentional and consensual power hierarchies? What does it mean to be dominant from a decolonized, deconstructed, dynamic play perspective? Join Caritia for this weekend-long workshop deep...
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? Caritia invites participants...
