Societe Noir presents a 5-part online Kink and BDSM series in collaboration with our host Caritia from Karada House. During these online montly workshops and discussions, we will learn about various aspects of BDSM and kink, focusing on boundaries, consent, pleasure and power dynamics.

Session 1 - Map of Me: Identity, Boundaries and Negotiation - 13th March at 7.30pm - 9.30pm GMT

Why learning more about yourself is a key principle to any practice. Caritia will offer guiding principles to find a baseline comprehension to boundaries, power dynamics and methods to support folk to more effectively negotiate your actual desires, wants and pleasures

Session 2 - Kink & Intersectionality: Decolonising Your Kink - 10th April at 7.30pm - 9.30pm BST

When many of us see kink and BDSM practicies, its from the lens of colonialism, carceral punishment and harm only. Caritia invites folks to take a more rounded view of these practices, one that incorporates the African diaspora and the indigenous peoples of the south. Not ignore colonial histories, but place them in perspective and take an intentional approach to exploring somatics and body exploration.

Session 3 - Find your Kinks - 14th May at 7.30pm - 9.30pm BST

Have you ever wondered what you are into, what really floats your boat? Lets move from the formula of 'seeing and copying' to discovery and being deeply curious about what you like. Caritia will offer a hands-on journey into kink practice and play. Step by step of naming, exploring and giving it a likeability scale of possible avenues to exlore.

Session 4 - Pleasure & Play: Kink Utopias - 12th June at 7.30pm - 9.30pm BST

Following on from 'Find Your Kinks', now you know what you are into, lets get curious, how can you practically plan and discover more about your kinks

Session 5 - Power Dynamics - 10th July at 7.30pm - 9.30pm BST

The models of power that we witness in the world are so frequently not the onces we wish to engage in or do so from a play of indoctrination and propaganda. Caritia will offer a guided session on power hierarchies, to gain a clearer pickture of what the scale looks like and where power and responsibility lies within each case.
