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.
